An inset photograph was taken during the nonlinear emission (SHG and THG) from the NV diamond. Credit: University of Tsukuba
How to verify the output from a quantum computer?
A team of researchers from the University of Innsbruck and the Austrian Academy of Sciences has developed a way to verify the output from one quantum computer by comparing it to the output of another […]
How to verify that quantum chips are computing correctly
In a step toward practical quantum computing, researchers from MIT, Zapata Computing and Google have designed a system that can verify when quantum chips have accurately performed complex computations that classical computers can’t. Noisy Intermediate […]
Finding cryptographic Boolean functions with D-wave quantum annealer
As the building block in symmetric cryptography, designing Boolean functions satisfying multiple properties is an important problem in sequence ciphers, block ciphers, and hash functions. However, the search of n-variable Boolean functions fulfilling global cryptographic constraints […]
Microsoft and Ford use quantum-style computing to solve Seattle’s traffic problem
Researchers at Ford and Microsoft teamed up to develop new quantum-style approaches to help reduce Seattle’s traffic congestion. Traffic apps tend to send individual drivers along the same routes. Even when congestion on one route […]
Quantum simulation with up to 61 qubits using data compression
Researchers at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory significantly have used data compression techniques to fit a 61-qubit simulation of Grover’s quantum search algorithm on a large supercomputer with 0.4 percent error. Other quantum algorithms […]

Quantum approach to option pricing in finance
A team from Universitat de Barcelona and Instituto de Fisica Teorica de Madrid, Spain, presents a novel quantum algorithm for European option pricing in finance, where the key idea is to work in the unary […]
Illustration of a Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM) bipartite graph where viviv_i are visible nodes, hjhjh_j are hidden nodes and wijwijw_{ij} are the weights connecting the hidden and visible nodes.
A path towards Quantum Advantage in training Deep Generative Models with Quantum annealers
A team of researchers from D-Wave, NASA Ames Research Center and University of Florence has successfully employed D-Wave quantum annealers as Boltzmann samplers to perform quantum-assisted, end-to-end training of QVAE (Quantum Variational AutoEncoder). The development […]
