Shares of IonQ surged 20% on April 14 to $35.76 after the quantum computing company landed a U.S. defense research contract, putting the sector that has struggled for a while in the spotlight again. IonQ said it has been selected for a program run by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency

Most simplifies the complex process of quantum computing as "it can be 0 and 1 at the same time." That is not an explanation for why it threatens Bitcoin. This is.

The world of quantum computing has its fair share of believers and sceptics. While some call it the technology of the future that could see many modern technologies like cryptography rendered useless,

Core to the approach is what the companies call a one-step simplified LBM, or OSSLBM, framework. The method uses a hybrid quantum-classical approach that simplifies how fluid simulations are mapped onto quantum hardware, making it possible to run nonlinear simulations involving obstacles across multiple steps.

Researchers from the Department of Energy's Quantum Science Center (QSC) headquartered at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have achieved a significant milestone by demonstrating the first digital quantum simulations of how spin currents change over time in a 1-D model of a quantum spin material.

Emerging technology stocks in sectors like quantum computing have soared in the wake of the AI boom. D-Wave Quantum and Rigetti Computing are both in the 100 most popular stocks on Robinhood, showing that retail investors have piled into the sector.

Quantum computers are coming and they may impact systems in unexpected ways that security teams will need to plan for.

Quantum computing has long been framed as a “future technology”—powerful, transformative, but always just out of reach. That narrative is starting to change.
