IBM has announced a major breakthrough in the field of quantum computing after the company managed to build a prototype 50-qubit processor. The quantum computing race has apparently reached another milestone as IBM has announced the creation of its 50-qubit prototype quantum computer. Dario Gil, Vice President of AI and IBM Q, said that this is the first time that any company has built a quantum computer... 

The world’s alleged first quantum computer has, according to scientists, managed to play host to an important quantum physics activity. D-Wave, as the computer has been named, draws upon radical new physics to attack mathematical quandaries, and is alleged by the Canadian company’s executives to be the first practical quantum computer. The quantum physics activity is called entanglement, which... 

The National Security Agency is reportedly building a ‘quantum computer’ capable of breaking encryption used to protect the most vital records around the world. The US spy agency is seeking an advanced-speed, “cryptologically useful quantum computer” that can bypass encryption that currently shields global banking, business, medical and government records. The quantum computer is part of a... 

The quantum circuit used in the demonstration is a 3mm x 3mm chip with a 1mm x 1mm diamond in the middle. Scientists have created a working quantum computer inside a diamond that includes protection against ‘decoherence,’ noise that prevents it from functioning properly. Researchers of the University of Southern California, Iowa State University, University of California, Santa Barbara,...
