Because digital computers were unsuitable for more complicated applications, such as aircraft flight simulators and synthetic-aperture radar, analog computing (and hybrid computing) remained the ...

While digital computers have become entrenched in our daily lives, a new analog quantum computer offers a stark contrast in both its design and capabilities. A team of physicists from Stanford ...

Digital computers essentially use on–off switches and process binary ‘bits’ of information (0s and 1s). Quantum computers encode information in the quantum state of atoms, electrons and ...
