The innovations in quantum computing are promising to herald a new era of mind bending advances in areas like climate change, drug design, and finance, but what actually is a quantum computer, how are ...

For decades, quantum computing has felt like something out of science fiction — abstract, theoretical, and always “10 years away.” But in 2025, the story has changed. Quantum technology is no longer ...

Inside most photonic chips, light races through tiny optical wires. It carries information far faster than electricity can in many conventional systems. But once that light is trapped on the chip, ...

The breakthrough addresses concerns that powerful quantum computers could eventually crack encryption standards to leave vulnerable financial systems, government communications, health data and media.

Quantum computing advantages look weaker; classical methods beat a nitrogen-fixing molecule simulation, raising doubts about ...

Chicago has quickly emerged as a hub for quantum computing, with the state of Illinois and technology companies pouring millions of dollars into developing a campus to build the world’s first ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Paul-Smith Goodson is an analyst covering quantum computing and AI. IBM’s 300mm quantum processor wafer features multiple chips ...
