Taking quantum circuits from a vague academic notion to the factory floor in just over 40 years might sound daunting — even impossible. But as Yale physicist Robert Schoelkopf explains, it all came ...

Imagine you're trying to build a very long, complicated chain of dominoes. The aim is that each domino hits the next one perfectly, all the way down the line, producing an amazing result at the end. A ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...

Advancing efficient methodologies to characterize the behavior of quantum computers is an endless pursuit in quantum science, with pivotal outcomes contributing to designing improved quantum devices ...

Quantum computers could someday solve pressing problems that are too convoluted for classical computers, such as modeling complex molecular interactions to streamline drug discovery and materials ...

Quantum circuits are supposed to gain power as they grow longer, but noise changes the picture. A new study finds that earlier steps in these circuits gradually lose their impact, with only the final ...

Parameterized quantum circuits are a key component of quantum machine learning models for regression, classification, and generative tasks. Quantum Circuit Born machines produce discrete distributions ...

For the first time, a superconducting circuit has passed a Bell test, the premier test in physics to confirm a system’s quantum behaviour. These circuits are used in quantum computers, and this test ...
