The advance offers a way to characterize a fundamental resource needed for quantum computing.

"...what we've developed is a crucial piece in the very foundation for an internet of the future with quantum speed and quantum security."

A CSAIL study highlights why it is so challenging to program a quantum computer to run a quantum algorithm, and offers a conceptual model for a more user-friendly quantum computer.

Quantum computing has huge promise from a technical perspective, but the practical benefits are less clear.

End-to-end encryption provides strong protection for keeping your communications private, but not every messaging app uses it, and even some of the ones that do don’t have it turned on by default.

An exotic electronic state observed by MIT physicists could enable more robust forms of quantum computing.

The method lets researchers identify and control larger numbers of atomic-scale defects, to build a bigger system of qubits.

Scientists have discovered a new way to transform everyday materials like glass into materials scientists can use to make quantum computers.

Key step toward reliable, game-changing quantum computing.

More stable clocks could measure quantum phenomena, including the presence of dark matter.
