The world of computing is currently focused on one particular goal: Building a quantum computer. Like some sort of weird jigsaw puzzle, the pieces that are required for a functioning quantum computer ...

While many companies are now offering access to general-purpose quantum computers, they’re not currently being used to solve any real-world problems, as they’re held back by issues with qubit count ...

D-Wave wants its quantum computer to surpass the performance of traditional computers in the coming years, and has a processor roadmap that could make that happen. “We’re at a point where we see that ...

Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and wrote about processors, digital photography, AI, quantum computing, computer science, materials science, supercomputers, drones, browsers, 3D ...

D-Wave Systems’ quantum computers have the potential to solve problems that the fastest supercomputers available today just can’t crack. But claims of performance superiority have been criticized as ...

For D-Wave, the path to quantum computers being widely accepted is similar to the history of today’s computers. The first chips came more than 30 years ago, and Microsoft’s Basic expanded the software ...

D-Wave Quantum CEO Alan Baratz said Nvidia's Jensen Huang is "dead wrong" about quantum computing after comments from the head of the chip giant spooked Wall Street on Wednesday. Huang was asked ...

Scientists have used a quantum computer to conduct large-scale simulations of two types of quantum materials. These studies involved about 2,000 quantum bits, or qubits — many more than the tens of ...

In theory, quantum computers should be faster at solving many problems compared to classical computers. But because their components are extremely delicate, existing quantum computers are still ...

D-Wave is the latest quantum computing company to say it has achieved “quantum supremacy,” better known as the ability to ...

There aren’t very many companies developing quantum computers right now. Sure, a lot of research about quantum computing is being conducted, but the technology is considered by many to be too unstable ...

For D-Wave, the path to quantum computers being widely accepted is similar to the history of today’s computers. The first chips came more than 30 years ago, and Microsoft’s Basic expanded the software ...
