“The evolution of quantum computers creates a significant threat to data security, and their immense processing power is capable of breaking encryption at great speed, leaving important data vulnerable, everything from bank account details to medical records to state secrets.” He said that 'this scenario is so alarming that specialists refer to it as the "Quantum Apocalypse.” The Quantum Apocalypse is 'just YEARS away', experts say.

A small quantum computer has been connected to Europe’s fastest supercomputer. This connection could help researchers work out how to best pair quantum computers together with powerful supercomputers to solve complex problems faster.

Australian engineers have discovered a new way of precisely controlling single electrons nestled in quantum dots that run logic gates. What's more, the new mechanism is less bulky and requires fewer parts, which could prove essential to making large-scale silicon quantum computers a reality. See 

For the first time, scientists have created a quantum computing experiment for studying the dynamics of wormholes – that is, shortcuts through spacetime that could get around relativity's cosmic speed limits.

Scientists have developed a reliable way to measure heat dissipation in superconducting circuits. This could lead to more stable and higher fidelity quantum machines.The Need for Better Heat DetectionHeat dissipation is a crucial element in the development of quantum devices such as computers. As heat sets limits for traditional computing, so it does for quantum computers. Therefore, detecting and controlling the heat dissipation of quantum computers is central to developing better and more stable machines.
