Researchers Develop a Way to Determine How ‘Quantum’ a System Is
Large objects, such as baseballs, vehicles, and planets, behave in accordance with the classical laws of mechanics formulated by Sir Isaac Newton. Small ones, such as atoms and subatomic particles, are governed by quantum mechanics, where an object can behave as both a wave and a particle. The boundary between the classical and quantum realms […]

New Circuit Compression Approach Could Deliver Real-World Quantum Computers Years Ahead of Schedule
A major technical challenge for any practical, real-world quantum computer comes from the need for a large number of physical qubits to deal with errors that accumulate during computation. Such quantum error correction is resource-intensive and computationally time-consuming. But researchers from the National Institute of Informatics and Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Inc. have found an […]
