A team at the University at Buffalo has made it possible to simulate complex quantum systems without needing a supercomputer.

For the first time, researchers have mathematically proven that a quantum computer needs less computational power to solve a particular task than an ordinary computer, in a way that can never be beate ...

An exhibit of a quantum computer at O’Hare put on by the University of Chicago and IBM aims to make learning about the technology accessible amid Chicago’s rise as a quantum hub.

A collaboration between UChicago PME’s STAGE Center, IBM and United Airlines is introducing travelers to quantum science and ...

TWA is one such semiclassical approach that dates back to the 1970s, but is limited to isolated, idealized quantum systems ...

QKD uses photons — the smallest units of light — to securely transmit encryption keys. Any attempt to intercept them disturbs their quantum state, alerting the sender and receiver. This makes QKD ...
