Microsoft Research has developed an analog optical computer (AOC) that uses light to solve complex problems.

There’s an old saying: When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Sometimes referred to as “the law of the instrument,” that hammer-and-nail idea is a common pitfall in ...

Aqarios' platform Luna v1.0 marks a major milestone in quantum optimization. This release significantly improves usability, performance, and real-world applicability by introducing FlexQAOA, a hybrid ...

CAMBRIDGE, U.K. – A small Microsoft Research team had lofty goals when it set out four years ago to create an analog optical computer that would use light as a medium for solving complex problems.

MicroAlgo Inc. announced its research on the Quantum Information Recursive Optimization (QIRO) algorithm, which aims to address complex combinatorial optimization problems using quantum computing.

While many companies are now offering access to general-purpose quantum computers, they're not currently being used to solve any real-world problems, as they're held back by issues with qubit count ...
