Toward a quantum computer that calculates molecular energy

Quantum computers are getting bigger, but there are still few practical ways to take advantage of their extra computing power. To get over this hurdle, researchers are designing algorithms to ease the transition from classical ...

Research team chase down advantage in quantum race

Quantum researchers at the University of Bristol have dramatically reduced the time to simulate an optical quantum computer, with a speedup of around one billion over previous approaches.

Scientists simulate 'fingerprint' of noise on quantum computer

For humans, background noise is generally just a minor irritant. But for quantum computers, which are very sensitive, it can be a death knell for computations. And because "noise" for a quantum computer increases as the computer ...

Crucial leap in error mitigation for quantum computers

Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's Advanced Quantum Testbed (AQT) demonstrated that an experimental method known as randomized compiling (RC) can dramatically reduce error rates in quantum algorithms and ...

Towards quantum states of sound

Researchers make key steps towards generating quantum states of sound inside a microscopic device using laser light and single-photon measurements.
