Researchers at the California Institute of Technology theorize that a functional quantum computer may require far fewer qubits than previously thought, making it feasible for the first quantum computer to be deployed before the end of the decade.

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 approach for reducing the errors that riddle today's rudimentary quantum computers.

Scientists at California Institute of Technology and startup Oratomic have developed a method to

Light moving through a tiny silicon structure does not look dramatic. It slips down narrow waveguides etched onto a chip, guided by geometry too small to see with the naked eye.

Time is almost up on the way we track each second of the day, with optical atomic clocks set to redefine the way the world measures one second in the near future. Researchers from Adelaide University worked with the National ... For many years, cesium ...

It’s the company’s first physical entry into the local quantum ecosystem. Adam Kaufman, known for his work in neutral atoms, is also key to Google’s big expansion to develop its first quantum computer faster.

What once took up the entire space of IBM’s early computer lab now fits on a chip. The question is how and when will the world develop quantum on a chip.

A method reduces the number of qubits needed for quantum computers, making practical machines possible sooner and affecting computing.
