A five-year project to build the world's first practical quantum computer just began. Futurism chatted with the lead engineer to learn how it'll happen.

RIKEN and NTT launch world first general-purpose optical quantum computer RIKEN and NTT launched the world’s first general-purpose optical quantum computer in November.

Using a powerful machine made up of 56 trapped-ion quantum bits, or qubits, researchers have achieved something once thought impossible. They have proven, for the first time, that a quantum ...

NIST researchers have developed the world's first two-qubit programmable quantum computer.

EIFO and the Novo Nordisk Foundation are investing €80 million to establish QuNorth, a new Nordic quantum initiative. QuNorth’s primary mission is to acquire and operate the world’s most powerful ...

Within days of each other back in 1998, two teams published the results of the first real-world quantum computations. But the first quantum computers weren’t computers at all. They were ...

The race against Q-Day has begun, and success will require not just technical innovation, but the wisdom to learn from each ...

It’s going from Feynman’s proposal that a quantum computer will be needed to using a quantum computer for whatever you need it for. It’s the “hello world” moment for quantum computing.

The smallest machine of its kind in the world uses a single photon as its qubit and it can perform calculations without needing the cumbersome equipment to cool it down to near absolute zero.

Quantum computing is the ‘next industrial revolution’, but it's also set to become a national-security headache.

PsiQuantum has raised $450 million in Series D funding (led by BlackRock) to build the world’s first commercially viable quantum computer.
