Scientists use two new quantum methods to catch dark matter suspects

The hunt for dark matter is about to get a lot cooler. Scientists are developing supercold quantum technology to hunt for the universe’s most elusive and mysterious matter, which currently poses one of science’s greatest mysteries. Despite the fact that dark matter outnumbers the amount of ordinary matter in our universe by about six times, … Read more

Why China, the US and Big Tech are racing to leverage quantum computing and AI

Credit – Getty Images/Science Photo Library WWhen Lawrence Gasman was looking for a PhD topic in the 1970s, computer labs were already buzzing with smart people proposing smart studies in artificial intelligence. “But the problem was we had nothing to run them on,” he says. “The necessary processors simply did not exist.” It took half … Read more

What is quantum advantage? A quantum computer scientist explains an impending milestone that marks the arrival of extremely powerful computers

Quantum advantage is the milestone that the field of quantum computing is fervently working towards, where a quantum computer can solve problems beyond the reach of the most powerful non-quantum computers or classical computers. Quantum refers to the scale of atoms and molecules where the laws of physics as we experience them break down and … Read more
