The invention of the computer is often articulated like a three-act play: the idea of the computer arrives, then there is the process of how to make the computer and, finally, there is the creation.

Alright, let’s dive into the world of quantum computing—no physics degree, no lab coat, and definitely no headache required.

In 1947, when Bell Labs created the transistor, we could never have imagined this invention would underpin the microprocessor, the internet, and the digital world as we know it. The same potential for ...

Physicist Jay Gambetta, at IBM’s lab in Yorktown Heights, New York, explains how microwaves orchestrate a solution on a quantum chip: “Think of each qubit as a line in music. You’re creating notes.” ...

U.S. and Chinese researchers have developed semiconductor chips that are nearly entirely made out of wood-derived material. Aside from being biodegradable, the chips could be produced for only a ...
