Isn't it ionic: An artist's representation of Quantinuum's 56-qubit trapped-ion quantum computer. Researchers used this computer to demonstrate a way of generating random numbers, then using a ...

Quantum computers could one day threaten the safety of the internet by breaking encryption – and now they are a step closer. A quantum computing start-up company called Zapata has worked with IBM to ...

Researchers report that they have designed and built a quantum computer from five atoms in an ion trap. The computer uses laser pulses to carry out Shor's algorithm on each atom, to correctly factor ...
