Had they included just one of Tony Hoare’s achievements, many scientific careers would be considered prestigious enough. His had a long list, unfortunately closed by his passing away at the age of 92 ...

A small mathematical revision to quantum mechanics could effectively limit the purported infinite capacities of quantum computers—if validated, that is.

We speak to Rob Akers, director for computing programmes at UK Atomic Energy Institute, about its new artificial intelligence (AI) supercomputer.

AI's potential to commoditize software and other digital sectors is driving investors to embrace hard assets such as ...

What will the computers of tomorrow look like? Chances are good that spintronics will play a decisive role in the next generation of computers. In spintronics, the intrinsic angular momentum of an ...

Quantum computers could solve certain problems that would take traditional classical computers an impractically long time to solve. At the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST), ...

Whether AI broadens prosperity or accelerates its concentration will depend less on what the models can do than on the choices leaders make right now.

By Cade Metz Cade Metz has reported on quantum technologies since the 1990s. In the mid-1980s, Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard invented an encryption technology that could theoretically never be ...

An American physicist and Canadian computer scientist received the A.M. Turing Award on Wednesday for their groundbreaking work on quantum key cryptography.
