It’s been difficult to find important questions that quantum computers can answer faster than classical machines, but a new algorithm appears to do so for some critical optimization tasks.

Quantum computing offers the hope of dramatic increases in computational capabilities. That’s the promise of quantum computers that can handle hundreds of thousands or millions of quantum bits or ...

But they had only vague ideas, so the pair brought in their colleagues Libor Caha and Xavier Coiteux-Roy to design a quantum algorithm based on this system. After a few months, König’s team proved ...

MicroAlgo Inc. (the "Company" or "MicroAlgo") (NASDAQ: MLGO), announced today the development of an innovative technology, the Classical Boosted Quantum Optimization Algorithm (CBQOA). This ...

An algorithm inspired by quantum computers but used on classical machines can make weather forecasts and other turbulence simulations a thousand times easier to run By Matthew Sparkes 29 January 2025 ...

A “useless” algorithm that serves as a benchmark for demonstrating the power of quantum computers over ordinary devices could potentially be repurposed as a way to keep data secure from ...

Quantum algorithm distributed across multiple processors for the first time—paving the way to quantum supercomputers by University of Oxford Editors' notes ...

And, as quantum systems become increasingly complex, Schrödinger's equation gets much, much harder to solve using classical hardware—the implication being that modeling the behavior of 5,000 of ...
