Oona Chaplin plays Varang, and the director has raved about her performance. “We’re trying to evolve beyond the ‘all humans are bad, all Na’vi are good’ paradigm,” Cameron said of the ...

You can sign up for Lost in Space-Time here. Before I entered university, I learned quantum physics is the most mysterious type of physics, full of particles that exist in two places at once ...

Quantum computing has enormous potential, but it faces a scalability problem. For such a machine to be useful in real terms, multiple quantum processors need to be assembled in a single location ...

The design of the Majorana 1 processor is supposed to fit up to a million qubits, which may be enough to realise many significant goals of quantum computing – such as cracking cryptographic ...

Quantum computers have gained the powerful abstractions that allow programmers of classical computers to design and integrate new apps and hardware, and connect devices into networks with ease ...

Quantum computing remains a holy grail in the world of technology. But thanks to some important breakthroughs in the last several months, investors are betting on promising startups in the space ...

Since then, the concept has been generalized to other systems involving waves, such as acoustic, electronic and quantum mechanical systems. "Coherence is a measure of how well certain systems will ...

Alphabet's new Willow processor exponentially reduces quantum computing errors. Microsoft says its breakthrough processor means the practical uses for quantum computing are no longer decades away.

In a leap forward for quantum computing, a Microsoft team led by UC Santa Barbara physicists on Wednesday unveiled an eight-qubit topological quantum processor, the first of its kind.

Microsoft has introduced Majorana 1, the first Quantum Processing Unit powered by a Topological Core, promising the integration of a million qubits on a single chip. This breakthrough is propelled ...
