D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) today announced a quantum advance published in the journal Science, confirming that its annealing quantum computer outperformed one of the world’s most powerful ...

In the everyday world, governed by classical physics, the concept of equilibrium reigns. If you put a drop of ink into water, ...

Scientists have used a quantum computer to conduct large-scale simulations of two types of quantum materials. These studies involved about 2,000 quantum bits, or qubits — many more than the tens of ...

D-Wave Systems published a milestone study demonstrating a topological phase transition using its 2048-qubit annealing quantum computer. This complex quantum simulation of materials is a major step ...

Quantum simulations are pushing physicists to rethink what it means for an atom to move. In new work on a quantum computer, ...

Computer scientists have introduced a novel representation of waves that improves computational efficiency by at least an order of magnitude. Based on principles of theoretical physics, their method ...

Advances in supercomputing have made solving a long‐standing astronomical conundrum possible: How can we explain the changes in the chemical composition at the surface of red giant stars as they ...
