The hunt for dark matter is about to get much cooler. Scientists are developing supercold quantum technology to hunt for the universe’s most elusive and mysterious stuff, which currently constitutes one of science’s biggest mysteries. Despite the fact that dark matter outnumbers the amount of ordinary matter in our universe by about six times, scientists […]

IBM and AIST collaborate on 10,000-qubit quantum computer — 75x more qubits than rivals
IBM has ambitions to take the lead in quantum computing, with a new governmental partnership inbound to make this a reality. Japanese news outlet Nikkei reports on a leaked joint effort by IBM and Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) that seeks to produce a quantum computer containing 10,000 qubits by […]
Quantum internet breakthrough after ‘quantum data’ transmitted through standard fiber optic cable for 1st time
A new quantum computing study claims that a recent finding in the production, storage and retrieval of “quantum data” has brought us one step closer to the quantum internet. Currently, quantum information is unstable over long distances and quantum bits, or qubits — the carriers of quantum information — are easily lost or fragmented during […]
Scientists Made a Quantum Leap in the Fifth State of Matter
“Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links.” The fifth state of matter—the ultracold Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)—has been an invaluable tool in unlocking the secrets of quantum physics. Now, scientists from Columbia University have created a molecular sodium-cesium BEC that’s dipolar, which opens the door for dozens of […]
Local News | Gov. Jared Polis signs quantum bill at CU Boulder
May 29—Gov. Jared Polis signed new legislation at the University of Colorado Boulder on Tuesday to further support the quantum industry in Colorado. The new tax credit bill, which aims to strengthen the quantum industry in the state, was signed at CU Boulder’s JILA Research Institute. JILA is a joint institute between CU Boulder and […]
Why These 3 Quantum Computing Stocks Are Worth the Risk
Quantum computing may be the next big thing, and lots of people are talking about it. The potential to revolutionize industries from pharmaceuticals to finance has investors keeping a close eye on key players in this space. But which companies are leading the charge? To answer this critical question, a trio of Fool.com contributors with […]
Reaching absolute zero for quantum computing now much quicker thanks to breakthrough refrigerator design
A breakthrough cooling technology could help invigorate quantum computing and slash costly preparation time in key scientific experiments by weeks. Scientists often need to generate temperatures close to absolute zero for quantum computing and astronomy, among other uses. Known as the “Big Chill,” such temperatures keep the most sensitive electrical instruments free from interference — […]
A new theory of quantum gravity could explain the biggest puzzle in cosmology, study suggests
A variation on the theory of quantum gravity — the unification of quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity — could help solve one of the biggest puzzles in cosmology, new research suggests. For nearly a century, scientists have known that the universe is expanding. But in recent decades, physicists have found that different types of […]
Bizarre device uses ‘blind quantum computing’ to let you access quantum computers from home
Researchers have developed a new communication paradigm that can let them securely connect a PC to a quantum computer over the internet. Known as “blind quantum computing,” the technique uses a fiber-optic cable to connect a quantum computer with a photon-detecting device and uses quantum memory — the equivalent of conventional computing memory for quantum […]
A New Study Says Quantum Entanglement May Be Reversible
“Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links.” Time might kind of flow backward for quantum systems, due to present but lower “entropy.” In a new paper, scientists model quantum “entropy” using a generous probabilistic model. This means their holdings could be true for weaker, or less generous, […]
