Quantum computing is a field of study in which scientists are striving to make machines that are orders of magnitude more powerful than the world's best supercomputers.
Quantum computing taps into the subatomic world, relying on the laws of quantum mechanics to process information in parallel rather than in sequence. Although this is an embryonic field of research, with no quantum computing currently outpacing a supercomputer, quantum supremacy, or the point at which quantum computers overtake the best classical versions, could be here within a matter of years.
Live Science's expert writers and editors are closely following the latest developments in quantum computing, from error correction technologies to more advance quantum chips, so we can guide you through the next era of computing.
Check out our latest quantum computing news, features and articles for everything you need to know about this exciting technology.
