Alpine Quantum Technologies (AQT) and the University of Innsbruck provides direct access to their ion-trap quantum computer via Cirq, a framework developed by Google focused on developing and implementing quantum algorithms. Cirq can be used […]
Quantum specially-designed algorithms with less memory requirements
Researchers at Dutch Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) focus on a type of classic algorithm called a random walk algorithm. Random walk algorithms are used when a computer is looking for something but doesn’t know […]
BASF predicts chemical reactivity using quantum algorithms
BASF and HQS Quantum Simulations, both German companies, collaborates in quantum chemistry for prediction of chemical reactivity. They used the hybrid quantum-classical variational quantum eigensolver algorithm in combination with the unitary coupled-cluster ansatz (UCCSD-VQE) that could provide […]
Unsupervised and Supervised Learning on Quantum Computers
Machine learning algorithms perform well on identifying patterns in many datasets due to their versatility. However, as one increases the size of the data, the time for training and using these statistical models grows quickly. […]
Researchers designed a quantum algorithm based on convolutional neural networks
Researchers at Harvard University recently developed a quantum circuit-based algorithm inspired by convolutional neural networks (CNNs). This new technique is therefore called Quantum Convolutional Neural Network (QCNN). The team found a connection between two characteristics of CNNS […]
Observation of geometric phase in a molecular Aharonov-Bohm system using IBM Quantum Computer
The evolution of a quantum system is governed by the associated Hamiltonian. A system defined by a parameter-dependent Hamiltonian acquires a geometric phase when adiabatically evolved. Such an adiabatic evolution of a system having non-degenerate […]
Alibaba Cloud Quantum Development Platform: Applications to Quantum Algorithm Design
The researchers team reports their work on the Alibaba Cloud Quantum Development Platform (AC-QDP). They demonstrate with figures how AC-QDP helps in testing large-scale quantum algorithms (currently within the QAOA framework). They give new benchmark […]
NIST: Second round in post-quantum cryptography
NIST (US National Institute of Standards and Technology) has enlisted researchers from academia and private industry to get quantum-resistant cryptography ready for 2022. The agency is overseeing the second phase of its Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Process to narrow down the […]
IBM announces the Qiskit Advocates Program
IBM has just launched the Qiskit Advocates Program, a global program that provides support to the individuals who actively contribute to the Qiskit Community. Advocates will receive special access to core members of the Qiskit […]
Researchers propose a quantum network protocol stack
Delft University researchers presented an interesting paper (A Link Layer Protocol for Quantum Networks) at the recent ACM SIGCOMM conference regarding the challenges of building a quantum communication network stack. Effective quantum networking needs a robust networking […]
