QBoson Researchers Say Quantum Computing Could Put Beijing’s Bus Routes on The Fast Track
Insider Brief The wheels of a bus do indeed go ’round and ’round, except when traffic snarls, mechanical failures and scores of other difficulties halt the wheels of entire fleets of buses — especially in busy, complex bus route networks in cities, like Beijing. Now, a new study suggests that specialized quantum hardware can outpace […]

Scientists Sidestep Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle in Precision Sensing Experiment
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Physicists in Australia and Britain have reshaped quantum uncertainty to sidestep the restriction imposed by the famous Heisenberg uncertainty principle – a result that could underpin future ultra-precise sensor technology used in navigation, medicine and astronomy. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle, introduced in 1927, says that you can’t know certain pairs of […]
Caltech Team Sets Record with 6,100-Qubit Array
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Quantum computers will need large numbers of qubits to tackle challenging problems in physics, chemistry, and beyond. Unlike classical bits, qubits can exist in two states at once—a phenomenon called superposition. This quirk of quantum physics gives quantum computers the potential to perform certain complex calculations better than their classical counterparts, […]
