After 30 months of fast-paced innovation in quantum algorithms, six research groups are hoping to hit paydirt. But there can be only one big winner—if there is a winner at all.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and others have invented a new class of photonic devices that allow for the accurate and scalable broadcasting of light from the chip into free ...

Inside most photonic chips, light races through tiny optical wires. It carries information far faster than electricity can in many conventional systems.

MIT researchers have built a nanoscale photonic device shaped like a tiny ski jump that launches laser light directly off a ...

ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TechNext Inc., a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) startup and leader in AI‑driven technology forecasting, today announced an early‑access program for its ...

Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard pioneered quantum information theory. Now they’ve been awarded the highest honor in computer science.

Experts are calling for the cryptographic systems on which the entire network depends to be made ready now for the imminent ...

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), ...

AI-enabled fraud and the coming impact of quantum computing are redefining digital-asset security, putting pressure on owners and service providers to act now.
