IBM Q has announced a series of new quantum computing tools and technology: additions to the IBM Q Experience hardware with 5-qubit quantum computers, a university hackathon partner program, a series of video tutorials teaching […]
How a quantum computer really works
Researchers at Linköping University have shown how a quantum computer really works and have managed to simulate quantum computer properties in a classical computer. “We have shown that the major difference is that quantum computers […]
CaixaBank carries out its first quantum computing project
CaixaBank has completed several real tests with a quantum computer to study financial applications to assess the capital at risk of financial assets, such as mortgage portfolios and treasury bonds. The Spanish bank used the […]
Fujitsu announces quantum computing PoC with Commerzbank
Fujitsu announces the successful conclusion of a loan portfolio management Proof of Concept (PoC) with Commerzbank’s research and development unit, Main Incubator, leveraging the Fujitsu quantum computing-inspired Digital Annealer. The PoC focused on the selection […]
Quantum algorithms for assets portfolio optimization
Researchers from the Université Paris Diderot develop the first quantum algorithm for the constrained portfolio optimization problem. The quantum algorithm can achieve a polynomial speedup over the best classical algorithms in certain conditions. Quantum techniques […]
An optimized quantum maximum or minimum searching algorithm and its circuits
Finding a maximum or minimum is a fundamental building block in many mathematical models. Compared with classical algorithms, Durr, Hoyer’s quantum algorithm (DHA) achieves quadratic speed. However, its key step, the quantum exponential searching algorithm […]
Quantum annealer shows promise for solving polynomial systems of equations
Researchers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have developed a new algorithm for solving polynomial systems of equations using a type of quantum computer called a quantum annealer. This study provides evidence that quantum annealing could […]
A random approach to quantum simulation
A team of University of Sheffield in the UK could speed up the simulation of certain molecules using a random, not deterministic, sequence of operations. It may outperform other approaches when a molecule’s energy is […]
Fujitsu used annealer to redesign car manufacturer’s painting process
Fujitsu knows that quantum is the way to go, but at the moment they can’t do it at a mass scale. So they use a Digital Annealer which is not actually quantum but ‘quantum like’. […]
Quantum algorithm to calculate the attributes of a molecule
Researchers at Virginia Tech Chemistry and Physics have advanced Quantum simulation by devising an algorithm that can more effectively calculate the attributes of a molecule being tested. The most important use will be simulating the […]
