A major obstacle in the development of powerful quantum computers is the growing number of cables required to control a computer as the number of qubits increases. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have now demonstrated that several qubits can share the same cable—without significantly increasing computation time.

Quantum computing is set to redefine the technological landscape, offering solutions to problems that classical computers cannot efficiently address. Microsoft’s Majorana 1 quantum processor represents a significant leap forward in this domain ...

Quantum vendors and national agencies are aligning to establish common standards for logical qubits, which should enable better collaboration and interoperability.

Silicon is ubiquitous in modern electronics, and now it is becoming increasingly useful in quantum computing. In particular, silicon's compatibility with existing chip technology and its long coherence times in silicon-based spin qubits make it a promising material for scalable quantum computing.
