He's now the head of quantum biotechnology at CSIRO, Australia's national science agency. "I've got a bit of a weird background. I always wanted to be a diesel mechanic. Doing that for a while led ...

The V-score can be used to identify the hardest-to-solve quantum systems, where current computational methods struggle, and where future methods—such as quantum computing—might offer an advantage.

Researchers have made a discovery that could make quantum computing more compact, potentially shrinking essential components 1,000 times while also requiring less equipment. The research is ...

Now, the first Ryzen 9000 CPU with 3D V-Cache is finally here. AMD has launched the Ryzen 7 9800X3D desktop processor, which looks like the Ryzen 7 9700X but with massive improvements for gaming.
