A new type of machine could rival quantum computers in exceeding the power of classical computers, researchers say. Quantum computers rely on the bizarre properties of atoms and the other construction ...

A new type of quantum computing called boson sampling is capable of calculations that no classical computer could accomplish in any reasonable amount of time. This is the second time this feat, known ...

For over a decade, researchers have considered boson sampling—a quantum computing protocol involving light particles—as a key milestone toward demonstrating the advantages of quantum methods over ...
