JILA breakthrough in integrating artificial atoms with photonic circuits advances quantum computing efficiency and scalability. In quantum information science, many particles can act as "bits," from individual atoms to photons. At JILA, researchers utilize these bits as "qubits," storing and proc

Building a computer that can support artificial intelligence at the scale and complexity of the human brain will be a colossal engineering effort. Now researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have outlined how they think we'll get there.

Engineering giant Honeywell burst into the quantum computing race out of left field last year. Now the company has provided the first concrete details of how its device works in a peer-reviewed journal . Unlike its main rivals Google and IBM, who rely on superconducting qubits, Honeywell is using trapped ions to power its device.

Sometimes, it's easy for a computer to predict the future. Simple phenomena, such as how sap flows down a tree trunk, are straightforward and can be captured in a few lines of code using what mathematicians call linear differential equations.
