Latest about Computing
Scientists connect two quantum processors using existing fiber optic cables
Scientists have connected two quantum computers, paving the way for distributed quantum computing, quantum supercomputers and a quantum internet.
What is exascale computing?
Exascale computing can process over a quintillion operations every second — enabling supercomputers to perform complex simulations that were previously impossible. But how does it work?
What is quantum error correction (QEC)?
Quantum computers can one day be vastly more powerful than the most powerful supercomputers on the planet — but only if scientists find ways to fix the extremely high error rate in qubits.
Scientists clear major roadblocks in mission to build powerful AI photonic chips
Two studies show major progress in the field of photonic microchips.
Scientists discover how to use your body to process data in wearable devices
Scientists have discovered a way to use live tissue as a computational reservoir to solve problems and potentially predict chaotic systems like the weather.
Quantum computing: Facts about the ultra-powerful computers that use quantum mechanics
Discover interesting facts about quantum computers, how they differ from classical computers, and what sort of fields they'll be used in.
World's first silicon-based quantum computer is small enough to plug into a regular power socket
An Irish startup has created the world's first silicon-based quantum computer — it can still integrate seamlessly with classical computing in data centers.
Quantum 'miracle material' can store information in a single dimension thanks to newly discovered magnetic switching
Scientists have developed a method for storing quantum information in a single dimension, thereby reducing decoherence, using chromium sulfide bromide.
