The fields of quantum algorithms and automata theory are converging to offer transformative insights into computational complexity and efficiency. Quantum algorithms utilise the principles of quantum ...

Quantum computers—devices that process information using quantum mechanical effects—have long been expected to outperform classical systems on certain tasks. Over the past few decades, researchers ...

When a quantum computer processes data, it must translate it into understandable quantum data. Algorithms that carry out this 'quantum compilation' typically optimize one target at a time. However, a ...

A search problem refers to the task of finding a solution within some space of possible options, and that space could be made up of discrete steps or continuously varying values. For example, solving ...

As proposed and demonstrated by the Los Alamos team, the architectures and techniques proposed to mitigate or altogether ...

The proposed algorithm combines variational scheduling with post-processing to achieve near-optimal solutions to combinatorial optimization problems with constraints within the operation time of ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...

Quantum computing is entering mainstream R&D—and establishing an IP strategy from a position of understanding the technology is key, says Gregory Aroutiunian of Bird & Bird. For most people, quantum ...

A research project has highlighted the potential for quantum computing to deliver significant benefits for the design and operation of radiation facilities in the nuclear, medical and space industries ...

The discussion of quantum-proofing legacy applications is causing some excitement in the world of cryptography, spurred by ...

Google announced on the 22nd, local time, that it has implemented an algorithm, a set of rules for solving problems, that can objectively verify the performance of a quantum computer for the first ...
