The traditionally skeptical MIT scientist believes the technology’s breakthrough is closer than expected, though its ...

"But an exponential speedup is the most dramatic type of speed up that we expect to see from quantum computers." The key milestone for quantum computing, Lidar says, has always been to demonstrate ...

A new quantum-inspired algorithm has cracked a problem so massive that conventional supercomputers struggle to even approach it. Researchers used the method to simulate extraordinarily complex quantum ...
