Designed to accelerate advances in medicine and other fields, the tech giant’s quantum algorithm runs 13,000 times as fast as software written for a traditional supercomputer. A quantum computer at ...

A RECENT GROUNDBREAKING EXPERIMENT in which anesthesia was administered to rats has convinced scientists that tiny structures in the rodents’ brains are responsible for the experience of consciousness ...

The 56-qubit H2-1 computer has broken the previous record in the 'quantum supremacy' benchmark first set by Google in 2019. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

ASMR stands for autonomous sensory meridian response, and we know a few creators who can really put the sensory into that acronym. ASMR content may not always be porn, but when porn works it in you ...

Typical superconducting quantum circuits, such as qubits—basic processing units of a quantum computer, must be operated at very low temperatures, of a few 10s of millikelvin, or hundredths of a degree ...

Many of us are awed by what technology can do today, but quantum computing is poised to make exponential changes to a multitude of functions across industries and entities, which could radically ...

To win at the card game of bridge, which is played by two sets of partners, one player must somehow signal to their teammate the strength of the hand they hold. Telepathy would come in handy here. But ...

The physicists Alain Aspect, John Clauser and Anton Zeilinger have won the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics for experiments that proved the profoundly strange quantum nature of reality. Their experiments ...
