The alleged dangers of AI have been shoved down people’s throats for years, led by doomerism about it eliminating human jobs or wiping out mankind itself. Yet, there are far fewer discussions about how scientists are on the cusp of a breakthrough more powerful and much more worrying: Quantum computing.

Recent significant developments include bigger qubit systems and improvements in error correction. By improving algorithms and hardware designs, artificial intelligence is accelerating the development of quantum technology. In specialized sectors, these hybrid techniques are moving us closer to a validated quantum advantage.

Researchers from the University of Sydney, working with IBM, have identified and quantified important factors limiting the performance of quantum computers and demonstrated ways to overcome their impact.

Computing is part of everything we do. Computing drives innovation in engineering, business, entertainment, education, and the sciences—and it provides solutions to complex, challenging problems of all kinds. Computer science is the study of computers ...

This article is part of a package on the future of quantum computing. Read about the most promising applications of these machines here and see an illustrated field guide to qubits here. Inside a low-slung building in an office park near the southeastern edge of the San Francisco Bay,

For a while researchers thought they’d have to make do with noisy, error-prone systems, at least in the near term. That’s starting to change. In the past 20 years, hundreds of companies, including giants like Google, Microsoft, and IBM, have staked a ...
