The latest trends in software development from the Computer Weekly Application Developer Network. Sometimes classed as a Japanese startup, OptQC works with optical photonic technologies to develop a ...

Quantum computers, which operate leveraging effects rooted in quantum mechanics, have the potential of tackling some computational and optimization tasks that cannot be solved by classical computers.

A Princeton team built a new tantalum-silicon qubit that survives for over a millisecond, far surpassing today’s best devices. The design tackles surface defects and substrate losses that have limited ...

Among the current challenges with creating quantum computers is that the timespan that a singular qubit remains coherent is quite limited, restricting their usefulness. Usually such qubits consist of ...

Researchers at Harvard, publishing in the journal Nature on Monday, have demonstrated a new quantum system that can detect and correct errors below a critical ...

The new qubit contains a rare-earth element called erbium, which has optical and magnetic properties that allow it to transmit quantum information using the same wavelengths as fiber-optic networks.
