Today’s supercomputers are enormously powerful, but the work they do − running AI and tackling difficult science − is pushing them to their limits. Building bigger supercomputers won’t be easy.

Researchers achieved a type of coupling between artificial atoms and photons that could enable readout and processing of quantum information in a few nanoseconds.

MIT researchers developed a photon-shuttling “interconnect” that can facilitate remote entanglement, a key step toward a practical quantum computer.

The Exo 2 programming language enables reusable scheduling libraries external to compilers.

The advance holds the promise to reduce error-correction resource overhead.

By emulating a magnetic field on a superconducting quantum computer, researchers can probe complex properties of materials.

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

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

Neuromorphic computers aim to one day replicate the amazing efficiency of the brain.

The advance brings quantum error correction a step closer to reality.
