At CERN’s Large Hadron Collider on the edge of Geneva, scientists have reported a surprising twist in the behavior of matter.

Quantum computing just got a significant boost thanks to researchers at the University of Osaka, who developed a much more efficient way to create "magic states" a key component for fault-tolerant ...

The paper is published in the journal Nature. In a world-first, scientists used precisely controlled optical traps, known as "magic-wavelength optical tweezers," to create a highly stable environment ...

In a world first, scientists have demonstrated an enigmatic phenomenon in quantum computing that could pave the way for fault-tolerant machines that are far more powerful than any supercomputer. The ...

BOSTON, July 14, 2025 — A team of scientists from QuEra Computing, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has reported the experimental demonstration of magic state ...

Quantum computers have performed the full slate of tricks needed for robust computation. And it all came down to a little magic. In a pair of papers submitted June 17 at arXiv.org, researchers ...

Making quantum computers fault-tolerant (and scaling effective error correction to enable this) is a key barrier to a new era of quantum supremacy. A new study ...
