It has been nearly three years since UK Quantum Technology Hub Sensors and Timing researchers at the University of Nottingham published a paper in Nature on non-invasive imaging techniques to investigate brain function. Since then, […]
Ilyas Khan – Quantum Personality of the Year 2020
With 41.95% of the votes, Ilyas Khan, CEO of the UK startup Cambridge Quantum Computing (CQC), has won the title of the “Quantum Personality of the Year 2020“. As a visionary, Ilyas founded CQC in 2014, […]
Analysis of space-based entanglement distribution for the Quantum Internet
Recent experimental breakthroughs in satellite quantum communications have opened up the possibility of creating a global Quantum Internet using satellite links. This approach appears to be particularly viable in the near term, due to the […]
Microsoft Azure Quantum is now in Public Preview
Azure Quantum, the Microsoft’s full-stack, public cloud ecosystem for quantum solutions, is now open for business. Developers, researchers, systems integrators, and customers can use it to learn and build quantum solutions. The unified Azure Quantum […]
Developing waveguides for next generation technology with Covesion
Building technology for real-world applications has always been a key aim for the UK Quantum Technology Hub Sensors and Timing since its formation in 2014. Covesion, co-founded by Hub researcher Professor Corin Gawith at the […]
Controlling up to thousands of qubits at cryogenic temperatures
A team of Microsoft and University of Sydney researchers has developed a novel approach for controlling qubits. Rather than employing a rack of room-temperature electronics to generate voltage pulses to control qubits in a special-purpose […]
How dynamical Quantum memories forget
Motivated by recent work showing that a quantum error correcting code can be generated by hybrid dynamics of unitaries and measurements, a team of researchers has studied the long time behavior of such systems. They […]
Structure optimization for parameterized quantum circuits
A team of researchers has proposed an efficient method for simultaneously optimizing both the structure and parameter values of quantum circuits with only a small computational overhead. Shallow circuits that use structure optimization perform significantly […]
High-speed Quantum Random Number Generator secure against quantum attacks
A team of researchers from DNRF center bigQ at DTU Physics have, in collaboration with the University of Sheffield, University of York and the Danish company Cryptomathic A/S, developed a Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) […]
Record-breaking source for single photons
Researchers at the University of Basel and Ruhr University Bochum have developed a source of single photons that can produce billions of these quantum particles per second. Each photon is created by exciting a single […]
