Advances in recent years suggest we are entering the Quantum Frontier Era. National security, science, economic competitiveness, and cybersecurity will all feel the impact.

However, in the early days of computing, the outcome was far from clear, as computing technology evolved through mechanical ...

Scientists at RIKEN have proposed a new way to make quantum systems synchronize in only one direction—like a one-way street ...

But quantum computing uses “quantum bits,” also known as “qubits.” Instead of being either zero or one, qubits can behave like zero or one simultaneously and exist in states between zero and one, ...

Digital secrets are protected by encryption, which converts meaningful data into an unintelligible form. If quantum computers could unscramble current encryption, they could expose highly sensitive ...

What we have today is a technology in transition. It is past the stage of simple proof of concept but not yet at the stage ...

Because it can easily break traditional encryption methods, the powerful technology could quickly make current cybersecurity methods useless.

When running an AI model through a quantum computer, scientists have increased accuracy by only adding a relatively small number of parameters.
