Researchers from Shibaura Institute of Technology, Waseda University, and Fujitsu have developed a novel way to make robots move smoothly and efficiently using quantum computing. Usually, when a robot ...

Alphabet's Google Quantum AI has already achieved two major milestones. IonQ's quantum technology offers key advantages over rivals. IBM promises to build a powerful quantum computer by 2029. These ...

The fifth guiding principle of the International Year of Quantum invites profound reflection on the very soul of scientific practice: "Model the ideals of scientific conduct: There is often a ...

The promise of quantum computers appears to be that they will upend modern computing as we know it. With exceptional computational power, they’ll be performing feats unimaginable for any classical ...

In 1905, Einstein established relativity under the condition of denying the absolute space-time valid in Newtonian mechanics. In those days, the quantum theory was also established by accepting De ...
