Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) have demonstrated on-demand storage of photonic qubits in an integrated solid-state quantum memory for the first time. On-demand storage requires determination of the storage time after […]
A team at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has demonstrated the teleportation of high-dimensional states in a three-dimensional six-photon system. Compared with two-dimensional systems, high-dimensional system quantum networks have the advantages […]
A joint group of scientists has demonstrated that temperature difference can be used to entangle pairs of electrons in superconducting structures. The researchers designed a device where a superconductor was layered withed graphene and metal […]
Researchers at Universita degli Studi Roma Tre and University of Florence have characterized the energetic footprint of a two-qubit quantum gate from the perspective of non-equilibrium quantum thermodynamics. Despite the significant progress made towards the […]
Ilyas Khan, CEO of UK quantum startup Cambridge Quantum Computing, is the third nominee of the ‘Quantum Personality of the Year 2020’. He founded the company in 2014, when the wording ‘quantum’ was anything but trendy. […]
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocols are performed by sending a sizeable, but finite, number of quantum signals between the distant parties involved. Many QKD experiments, however, predict their achievable key rates using asymptotic formulas, which […]
CES 2021: QBlox wins Innovation Award
The Dutch startup Qblox wins CES 2021 Innovation Award honoree for its qubit control hardware – the Cluster series and announces it secures $6Mn in seed funding from the European Innovation Council – Horizon 2020. […]
Light-based processors, called photonic processors, enable computers to complete complex calculations at incredible speeds. A team of researchers has examined the potential of photonic processors for artificial intelligence applications. The results demonstrated for the first […]
Chinese scientists have established the world’s first integrated quantum communication network, combining over 700 optical fibers on the ground with two ground-to-satellite links to achieve Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) over a total distance of 4,600 […]
It’s always amazing in January to sit back and check our previous year predictions with easy criticism and to predict new year facts with a fair dose of optimism. And a bit of humor too. […]
