IBM quantum computer simulates hadronization for first time

A physicist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has used an IBM International Business Machines Corporation quantum computer to simulate hadronization — the process by which quarks bind together through the strong nuclear force to form composite particles such as protons…

ISO adopts quantum-resistant encryption standard

The International Organization for Standardization has formally adopted Classic McEliece, a quantum-resistant encryption standard co-designed by an international team that includes Dr Varun Maram from the University of Warwick's Department of Computer Science. The adoption, announced this month, marks the…

Nature critique questions Microsoft’s quantum chip claims

A peer-reviewed critique published Wednesday in the journal Nature has raised pointed questions about Microsoft 's claimed quantum computing breakthrough, alleging that the company's validation software contained coding errors and could produce contradictory results based on arbitrary measurement choices.

98-qubit quantum computer’s record results published in Nature

Quantinuum and Sandia National Laboratories have published peer-reviewed results in Nature demonstrating that Helios, a 98-qubit trapped-ion quantum computer, operates well beyond the reach of classical simulation while maintaining the highest gate fidelities of any commercial quantum system.
