Large numbers can only be factorized with a great deal of computational effort. Physicists are now providing a blueprint for a new type of quantum computer to solve the factorization problem, which is ...

There are two types of quantum computers: universal quantum computers and dedicated ones, the state-of-the-art one of which is the commercial quantum computer developed by D-Wave Quantum Computing ...

Today's computers are based on microprocessors that execute so-called gates. A gate can, for example, be an AND operation, i.e. an operation that adds two bits. These gates, and thus computers, are ...
