The new network will give us a superfast and secure internet, making our current model look like a 1971 Pinto.
'It opens up a completely new tool chest for scientists and developers,' said D-Wave CEO Vern Brownell
Chances are you're familiar with the Schroedinger's cat paradox, whereby a hypothetical cat inside a box is both dead and alive. Now physicists at Yale University have figured out how to make a quantum cat that both lives and dies in two boxes at once.
It seems that the D-Wave Computer does work, and the theory is that the hardware is 3,600 times faster than other supercomputers.
Anyone to run experiments on the computing platform by accessing a website connected to the IBM Cloud.
Quantum computing is set to revolutionize our world, and major players (such as Google, NASA, and Lockheed Martin) are turning to one company for their quantum needs: D-Wave.
Researchers have developed a new approach to preserving superposition in a class of quantum devices built from synthetic diamonds. The work could ultimately prove an important step toward reliable quantum computers.
An international team of researchers has found evidence of a mysterious new state of matter, first predicted 40 years ago, in a real material. This state, known as a quantum spin liquid, causes electrons -- thought to be indivisible building blocks of nature -- to break into pieces.
In what may provide a potential path to processing information in a quantum computer, researchers have switched an intrinsic property of electrons from an excited state to a relaxed state on demand using a device that served as a microwave 'tuning fork.'
Rigetti Computing uses liquid helium to cool experimental quantum computer chips to a fraction of a degree from absolute zero. The two-year-old company is trying to build the hardware needed to power a quantum computer, which could trounce any conventional machine by tapping into quantum mechanics.
Scientists are figuring out how to create a 'quantum Internet' that will be totally secure and virtually unhackable.
Einstein's "spooky action at a distance" can reach as far as low earth orbit, and twisted light could boost quantum communication bandwidth
Why send a message back in time, but lock it so that no one can ever read the contents? Because it may be the key to solving currently intractable problems.
Processors using quantum mechanics are reportedly achieving much greater problem-solving speed.
Google has been sharing more details about its quantum computing project, which it runs in partnership with NASA.
