Rigetti Computing has announced the general availability of its most powerful quantum computer to date, rounding off months of uncertainty. Shares were getting a much-needed boost on Wednesday.

A gold superconducting quantum computer hangs against a black background. Quantum computers, like the one shown here, could someday allow chemists to solve problems that classical computers can’t.

I did not enter quantum computing through a lab, a startup pitch or a cybersecurity briefing. I entered it through light. This is not a puff piece or a victory lap. It is simply the most honest ...

Google researchers warned that future quantum computers may be able to break some of the cryptography protecting Bitcoin and other digital assets with fewer resources than previously thought, adding ...

Last week, cybersecurity researchers woke up to bad news. Research in new papers published by Google and a quantum computing startup, Oratomic, suggests that quantum computers capable of breaking the ...

Building a utility-scale quantum computer that can crack one of the most vital cryptosystems—elliptic curves—doesn’t require nearly the resources anticipated just a year or two ago, two independently ...

Quantum computers of the future may be closer to reality thanks to new research from Caltech and Oratomic, a Caltech-linked start-up company. Theorists and experimentalists teamed up to develop a new ...
