Using this system, Microsoft and Atom Computing created 20 logical qubits made from 80 physical qubits and successfully ran the Bernstein-Vazirani algorithm on it.

And many quantum algorithms exist already, which have been shown to increase the speed of Monte Carlo calculations by up to 1,000 times and could transform the way that financial markets operate ...

The record-breaking achievement could lead to practical, utility-scale quantum computers that are both smaller and faster.

For years, quantum computing’s news cycle was dominated by headlines about record-setting systems. Researchers at Google and IBM have had spats over who achieved what—and whether it was worth ...

DeepMind’s AlphaDev adopted an unconventional approach to uncover faster algorithms by venturing into the realm of computer assembly instructions — a domain seldom explored by humans.

Infleqtion, a quantum computing company, will be headquartering its global operations in Chicago at the Illinois Quantum and ...

One computer scientist’s “stunning” proof is the first progress in 50 years on one of the most famous questions in computer science.

Researchers have devised an "absurdly fast" algorithm to solve the problem of finding the fastest flow through a network.

IonQ is one of the larger examples of pure-play quantum firms; it and competitors including Rigetti and D-Wave have seen ...

Quantum computing, which promises to significantly increase processing speeds, is still years away from full-scale commercial deployment, but some financial-services firms are turning to quantum ...

So, an algorithm is the process a computer uses to transform input data into output data. A simple concept, and yet every piece of technology that you touch involves many algorithms.

Computer algorithms are used to make decisions in a range of settings, from courtrooms to schools to online shopping sites. The programs sort through huge amounts of data in search of useful ...
