New quantum-proof cryptography scheme

Here is a very interesting article written by Alec Edgington, Cameron Foreman and Duncan Jones of Cambridge Quantum Computing (CQC). In this paper, the team explains how at CQC they adopted a revolutionary approach to […]

GlaxoSmithKline in Quantum Computing

Drug maker GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) is evaluating Quantum Computing for specific workloads that hit scalability and complexity walls with traditional architectures and approaches, specifically genetic algorithms. Specifically, the company wanted to understand how quantum computing might […]

The hunt for the Quantum collapse

Leiden University physicists simulated an experiment to catch this mysterious moment of superposition collapsing for the Schrödinger’s cat. The Leiden physicists decided to open the hunt for the collapse from the perspective of an amplifier […]

Powerful spintronic magnet paired with Graphene

An international research team led by the University at Buffalo has described how they paired a magnet with graphene, and induced what they describe as “artificial magnetic texture” in the nonmagnetic wonder material. For their experiments, researchers […]
