Two quantum computers and two supercomputers teamed up to break the record on the biggest molecule yet to be simulated using quantum hardware

A new quantum-inspired algorithm is reshaping how scientists approach some of the most complex materials known, enabling rapid analysis of structures that were previously beyond computational reach. Quantum technologies, including quantum computers, rely on materials that display unusual quantum effects under specific conditions. Researchers have found that these properties can also be engineered…

GlobalFoundries today announced the introduction of its SCALE optical module solution for co-packaged optics (CPO). GF’s SCALE solution, or Silicon photonics Co-packaged Advanced Light Engine solution, is the industry’s first Optical Compute Interconnect Multi-Source Agreement (OCI MSA) capable platform. The post GlobalFoundries Accelerates Adoption of Co-Packaged Optics for Advanced AI Data Cent…

Magnons are tiny waves in magnetisation and ideal building blocks for hybrid quantum systems and quantum metrology. However, their previously too-short lifetime of at most a few hundred nanoseconds has been a hurdle. An international team of physicists led by Andrii Chumak from the University of Vienna has now succeeded in extending this lifetime a hundredfold to up to 18 microseconds - paving th…

The new MIT-IBM Computing Research Lab evolves from the Watson AI Lab founded in 2017, adding quantum computing to its scope after nearly a decade that produced more than 1,500 peer-reviewed articles and funded over 500 students and postdoctoral scholars. The MIT-IBM Computing Research Lab in Cambridge, MA, where researchers from MIT and IBM will work on AI, algorithms, and quantum computing. IBM…

Scientists have built a quantum battery that could make charging almost instant. Australian researchers have achieved a major milestone in energy storage by designing and testing what is believed to be the world’s first proof-of-concept quantum battery. Scientists say this emerging technology could reshape how energy is stored and delivered, potentially leading to devices that [...]

Researchers say creation of startups suggests game-changing tech may be developing at faster pace than expected

A more efficient implementation of Shor's algorithm Did you know...?LWN.net is a subscriber-supported publication; we rely on subscribers to keep the entire operation going. Please help out by buying a subscription and keeping LWN on the net. Shor's algorithm is the main practical example of an algorithm that runs more quickly on a quantum computer than a classical computer — at least in theory. …

Current quantum internet research operates within a regime where coherence degrades per hop, requiring increasingly elaborate machinery—quantum repeaters, entanglement distillation, error correction codes, trusted-node networks—to mitigate compound noise accumulation. This paper demonstrates that compound decay is structural to high-torsion channels, not fundamental to networked quantum informati…
