Google has reportedly developed a quantum computer that can instantly make calculations that would take the world's most advanced supercomputers 47 years or nearly half a century to process. The ...

Within the next couple of decades, experts think quantum computers will replace the 'classical' computers at our desks and revolutionise our lives. By employing the odd effects of quantum physics, ...

Google appears to be more confident about the technical capabilities of its D-Wave 2X quantum computer, which it operates alongside NASA at the U.S. space agency’s Ames Research Center in Mountain ...

After studying most of its servers for more than two years, Google finds memory failures are much more common than expected, and debunks some other myths, too. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from ...

A new type of chip has managed a calculation in minutes which would take the world’s best conventional supercomputer 10 septillion years to complete. For context, that is ‘vastly’ longer than the ...

Designed to accelerate advances in medicine and other fields, the tech giant’s quantum algorithm runs 13,000 times as fast as software written for a traditional supercomputer. A quantum computer at ...

Quantum supremacy is here, researchers from Google claim. For the first time, a quantum computer has solved a problem that can’t be performed by a standard computer — at least not within a reasonable ...

Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and wrote about processors, digital photography, AI, quantum computing, computer science, materials science, supercomputers, drones, browsers, 3D ...
