Quantum walks are changing the way scientists think about computation. They use the strange and powerful rules of quantum physics—such as superposition, interference, and entanglement—to solve ...

Quantum computing will not deliver truly useful business results overnight, but the pace of progress is no longer linear; ...

As quantum mechanical equivalents of classical random walks, quantum walks use quantum phenomena to design advanced algorithms for applications such as database search, network analysis and ...

Cryptographic algorithms are what keep us safe online, protecting our privacy and securing the transfer of information. But many experts fear that quantum computers could one day break these ...

It’s been difficult to find important questions that quantum computers can answer faster than classical machines, but a new algorithm appears to do so for some critical optimization tasks.

Those patterns act like a built-in quantum Fourier transform, said König. “Lukas and I started talking about this hybrid qubit-oscillator system,” König said. But they had only vague ideas, so the ...

Quantum computing has long promised to speed up these algorithms. But Goswami and co say even the best quantum algorithms require a large number of qubits. “The quantum algorithm for encoding 9 and 10 ...

By designing systems and algorithms around quantum walk principles, scientists can explore a new world of computation, one step—or quantum leap—at a time. Note: The article above provided ...

The review was published Nov. 13 in Intelligent Computing in an article titled "Quantum Walk ... of discrete-time and continuous-time quantum walk models and quantum-walk-based algorithms.
