Austria is getting a Quantum Internet. With the “Austrian Quantum Fiber Network” (AQUnet), an Austria-wide network of fiber optic cables is to be built that is suitable for the exchange of quantum information and precision […]
Quantum or Classical Gravity?
An international team led by the University of Nottingham, has demonstrated that only quantum and not classical gravity could be used to create a certain informatic ingredient that is needed for quantum computation. This new […]
Light used to detect information stored in 100,000 nuclear qubits
Researchers have found a way to use light and a single electron to communicate with a cloud of quantum bits and sense their behavior, making it possible to detect a single quantum bit in a […]
How quiet is quantum space-time at the Planck scale?
Fermilab scientists have been conducting experiments to look for quantum fluctuations of space and time at the smallest scale imaginable according to known physics. At this limit, the Planck length, our classical notions of space […]
Interactive quantum advantage with noisy, shallow Clifford circuits
Recent work has constructed a relation problem that a noisy constant-depth quantum circuit (QNC0) can solve with near certainty (probability 1−o(1)), but that any bounded fan-in constant-depth classical circuit (NC0) fails with some constant probability. It […]
Unique Majorana particles found in a magnetic material
For years, physicists have been looking for materials that emulate a Kitaev honeycomb (solid-state model known to birth Majorana fermions in magnetic fields). Physicists from Chung-Ang University, Korea, unveiled the existence of Majorana fermions in α-RuCl3, […]
Particle collision simulation using Quantum Computing
A team of researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) used a quantum computer to successfully simulate an aspect of particle collisions that is typically neglected in high-energy physics experiments, such as those that […]
Spontaneous quantum error correction demonstrated
To build a universal quantum computer from fragile quantum components, effective implementation of Quantum Error Correction (QEC) is an essential requirement and a central challenge. Since qubits are intrinsically fragile, the most outstanding challenge of […]
Quantum effects help minimize communication flaws
A collaboration between the Universities of Hong-Kong, Grenoble and Vienna, as well as the Austrian Academy of Sciences has revealed novel techniques to reduce noise in quantum communication. The primary approach to overcome these noise […]
Quantum Neural Networks
Fault-tolerant quantum computers offer the promise of dramatically improving machine learning through speed-ups in computation or improved model scalability. In the near-term, however, the benefits of Quantum Machine Learning (QML) are not so clear. Understanding […]
