Six qubits is enough to determine the ground state of three simple molecules.

Australian researchers have found a breakthrough in manufacture of quantum computer. As the basic building blocks, this new type of qubit is able to facilitate large scale production of a quantum computer. However, the research is not one of its kind as far as manufacture of quantum computers is concerned. There are several ways to make one of these high-tech computers. Some may take up a few square feet, but to manufacture on a large-scale may requires thousands of square feet.

This might be just what we've been waiting for to make silicon-based quantum computers scalable.

For a large institution playing at the leadership-class supercomputing level, NASA tends to do things a little differently than its national lab and academic peers.

It seems some government customers can request Intel's always-on Management Engine (ME) 'master controller' for its CPUs to be disabled.

A company set up by Elon Musk to develop advanced biotechnology enhancements for the human brain has raised $27m (£20.9m) from 12 investors, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing. 

The human-computer interface is changing: Welcome to a world of holograms, augmented reality, and thought-controlled Word docs.

NASA and HPE are launching supercomputers into space using off-the-shelf hardware.

Cheaper, faster, and more feature-rich than Skylake-X—what's not to love?

New approach yields long-lasting configurations that could provide long-sought “qubit” material.

Computer simulations show that powerful streams of gas can leave one galaxy, travel across space, and get absorbed into another. By Marina Koren.

If you're the type of person who copies hundreds of photos or mammoth video files to your external hard drive, good news: USB ports are about to double in speed again. USB, the port that every phone and PC uses to transfer data, tops out today at 10 gigabits per second with USB 3.1. The new USB 3.2 technology doubles that to 20Gbps using new wires available if your device embraces the newest USB hardware -- specifically the modern USB-C connectors and cables.

IBM has launched a new mainframe system capable of running more than 12 billion encrypted transactions per day, in a bid to wade further into the financial cybersecurity market. The mainframe, called IBM Z, seeks to address cyberattacks which have compromised financial data. It also aims to help firms automate financial regulatory compliance, in line with confidentiality and data protection laws.

At Harvard, scientists from Russia and the United States created the world's first quantum computer, consisting of 51 qubits. This was reported by the professor of Harvard University, co-founder of the Russian quantum center Mikhail Lukin. The scientist spoke about the sensational event during the presentation of the report at the International Conference on Quantum Technologies ICQT-2017, which is held under the auspices of the RCC in Moscow.

As recent high school graduates prepare for their migration to college in the fall, one item is sure to top most students’ shopping wish lists: a laptop computer. Laptops are ubiquitous on university campuses, and are viewed by most students as absolute must-have items, right alongside laundry detergent, towels, and coffee pots.

It’s exciting, but not for the reasons most tech journalists think it is.

Last week I made a video surrounded by old-school CRT monitors and televisions - cathode ray tubes. And I completely forgot to remove the high pitched whine they produce. Here's why: why they make that noise, and why I didn't notice it.

Debian is built for those who crave a system that will "just work" instead of being on the bleeding edge. We take a close look at the latest Debian 9 "Stretch" release.

This week, following a small amount of fanfare, the OnePlus 5 nabbed a DxOMark Mobile score of 87. A day later, as if timed perfectly to demonstrate the flaws of its rating system, DxO gave the LG G6 an 84. And the Internet is suitably riled up. Comment threads suggest something untoward has happened as a result of OnePlus's recently-announced partnership with DxO. Reddit is swimming in incredulous anger.
