Hitting milestones a few months early is a positive sign. But negative momentum might stay in the driver’s seat for a while longer. IonQ is a promising quantum innovator, but waiting for more of a ...

The silver anniversary of the first PC virus is approaching in January, but even after 25 years, no victory celebration is on the horizon. That first virus, distributed on a 5 1/4 floppy disk, was ...

A startup called Atom Computing has announced the first quantum computer to pass the 1,000-qubit milestone. The prototype, due to become available for use in 2024, leapfrogs IBM’s announcement of its ...

We have just entered the age of quantum supremacy, a new study suggests. For the first time, a quantum computer has solved a problem that a traditional computer, for all practical purposes, cannot, ...

The success of portable computing this decade is due at least in part to the pioneering work of many companies in decades past. Apple recently launched the iPad 2 to tremendous fanfare, and the device ...

Physicists at Google have reached what they describe as their second milestone along the path to a useful quantum computer. At a laboratory in Santa Barbara ...

Move over, Elon Musk. Synchron, a rival to Neuralink, has achieved a major milestone for the brain-computer interface (BCI) field with the first-in-human U.S. implant using an endovascular ...

A commercially available “quantum computer” has been on the market since 2011, but it’s controversial. The D-Wave machine is nothing like other quantum computers, and until recently, scientists have ...

Northrop Grumman has passed the first milestone in the development of a modern computer architecture to upgrade the B-2A stealth bomber's flight management system. Following the US Air Force's ...
