It seems that the D-Wave Computer does work, and the theory is that the hardware is 3,600 times faster than other supercomputers.
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.
A theoretical study has analyzed a model that saves special relativity and reconciles it with granularity by introducing small-scale deviations from the principle of locality demonstrating that it can be experimentally tested with great precision.
A primer to help you unentangle the world of the very small.
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.
Bizarre quantum bonds connect distinct moments in time, suggesting that quantum links — not space-time — constitute the fundamental structure of the universe.
In the last few decades, researchers have pursued the problem in two separate programs—string theory and loop quantum gravity—that are widely considered incompatible by their practitioners. But now some scientists argue that joining forces is the way forward.
Reality seems pretty stubborn, pretty fixed and pretty much independent of whatever is going on in your head. But is it, really? Astrophysicist Adam Frank explores the scientific debate.
Einstein's "spooky action at a distance" can reach as far as low earth orbit, and twisted light could boost quantum communication bandwidth
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.
Science fiction literature is full of stories in which tunnels in space-time known as wormholes are used for time travel. How much fact lies within the fiction? The answer is, more than you might think.
Scientist Eric Ladizinsky compares advent of new technology to discovery of fire
