Quantum computing is a topic that has been capturing the imagination of people for decades. With its promise of solving problems that classical computers cannot and its potential to change the way we live and work, it's not surprising that there is a lot of hype and speculation surrounding this field. However, not all of what you may have heard about quantum computing is accurate. In this editorial, we aim to separate fact from fiction and provide a clearer understanding of what quantum computin

The race to build practical quantum computers has shifted into a new phase. Some of the leading technologies are facing size constraints, while others are rapidly catching up. The two primary methods of building quantum computers include superconducting qubits and trapped-ion qubits. However, the use of single neutral atoms held with laser tweezers has become a competitor, and other techniques at an earlier stage of development could yet catch up. The Quest for Qubits Quantum computers promis

The availability of large data sets has made it simple to gain new insights using computers. As a result, algorithms have become more sophisticated and pervasive tools for automated decision-making.  An algorithm is a set of step-by-step instructions that computers follow to perform a task. The benefits of artificial intelligence appear obvious in that human decision-makers are far from perfect, and algorithms hold great promise for improving decision-quality.  Algorithms are harnessing massive
