A new federal initiative to build a quantum supercomputer could transform everything from encryption to drug discovery, creating the next wave of winners and losers.

Researchers from the University of Sydney, working with IBM, have identified and quantified important factors limiting the performance of quantum computers and demonstrated ways to overcome their impact.

The point at which quantum computers outperform classical ones will arrive. The question is who controls the infrastructure when it does.

Artificial intelligence has already transformed markets, but many experts believe the story is still in its early stages. At the same time, breakthroughs in quantum computing are attracting billions of dollars in investment from governments and private companies.

Overview: IBM has set a concrete deadline for quantum advantage, and IonQ already delivered a real-world win in 2025.Post-quantum security is not a future risk.

The same weaknesses leave organizations exposed to both AI-enabled attacks and delayed cryptographic migration.

Researchers and developers worldwide can now access a new photonic quantum computer that recently began formal operation in China and was connected to China Telecom Quantum Group's Tianyan cloud platform.

This year, the company is laying the groundwork to turn quantum computing into a fully-fledged, scalable business from an expensive science project.
