There's a lot of interest in quantum computing in the banking world, but outside specialized teams at large institutions that have invested in it, there is a lack of clarity on what it is, how it ...

The theoretical foundations of quantum computing emerged throughout the twentieth century, including Planck’s Quantum Hypothesis (1900), the Uncertainty Principle (1927), and Bell’s Inequality (1964).

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...

A poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation, Harvard's Kennedy School of Government and National Public Radio shows that over two-thirds of American adults use a computer at work, and over 80 percent of ...

An algorithm to calculate Pi on IBM’s quantum computers honors Pi Day—and helps us understand how a quantum computer works. Ever since Archimedes hit upon a value for Pi in the third century B.C., ...

In a previous article, I introduced the recent open-sourcing of quantum computing software by DWave. DWave is the maker of a quantum computer being used and studied by a number of groups, including ...
