As the year draws to a close, we take a look at some of the biggest science stories of the year, and why they matter.

In December 2024, Google's Willow chip became the first quantum processor to demonstrate "below threshold" error correction. That's the holy grail physicists have chased for 30 years. The chip showed ...

Researchers at USTC in China turned to microwave-based error correction to achieve a distance-7 logical qubit, much like ...

A 2,000-year-old code that once looked like random scratches on parchment has finally given up its secret, turning a handful of obscure Dead Sea fragments into a new window on one of antiquity’s most ...

Quantum Computing Advantage will Arrive Next Year. Are you ready? Know which quantum company to invest in? Read this and ...

Amazon, Microsoft, and IBM are all racing to build a quantum computer. But the technology's feasibility is as hazy as its physics.

A research team from the University of Stuttgart in Germany recently made a breakthrough when they teleported quantum information between distant origins. The paper was published in the journal Nature ...

Physicists manage to protect quantum information from noise using skyrmions, a key advance for networks and quantum computing ...

Scientists from Australia and other countries have, for the first time, fully mapped how errors develop over time within a ...

Since its founding in 2017 at a Harvard Quantum Computing Lab, Zapata has maintained a commitment to scientific rigor and validation of its technology through close collaboration with leading experts ...

Physicists at Silicon Quantum Computing have developed what they say is the most accurate quantum computing chip ever ...

Researchers at the University of Basel have developed a new approach to applying thermodynamics to microscopic quantum systems. In 1798, the officer and physicist Benjamin Thompson (a.k.a. Count ...
