A mysterious menagerie of quantum states — once purely theoretical — has been brought to life by researchers at Columbia ...

Slowly, we are realizing that quantum computing is no longer science fiction, it’s the next global arms race. These machines ...

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has selected IonQ and Rigetti to participate in its Quantum ...

Using a 56-qubit quantum computer from Quantinuum, the researchers produced random numbers that were then verified by classic supercomputers. “It’s the first experimental demonstration of the ...

The Centre for Whale Research says one of its field biologists has spotted a new calf in a pod of endangered killer whales off British Columbia's southern coast. The Washington-based centre says in a ...

In a paper presented at ISSCC 2025, “An 18.5μW/qubit Cryo-CMOS Charge-Readout IC Demonstrating QAM Multiplexing for Spin Qubits”, the innovation is to propose a readout circuit based on a ...

Ever since we published our very first issue 123 years ago—yes, we’re old—Popular Mechanics has endeavored to help you understand all kinds of technological marvels, from the tools in your ...

Despite glitches in the funding mechanism, salary caps on scientists and hurdles in purchasing high-end equipment from abroad, TIFR professor Rajamani Vijayaraghavan is racing to build India’s first q ...

A qubit is an object that has two possible states – for example, two different spins. Because it is quantum, a qubit can also exist in combinations of those states that any familiar object could ...
