Faster algorithms for combinatorial optimization could prove transformative for diverse areas such as logistics, finance and machine learning. A team of researchers at Google Research has demonstrated the application of the Google Sycamore superconducting qubit […]
Today’s quantum computers contain up to several dozen memory and processing units, the so-called qubits. Researchers from MPQ have successfully interconnected two such qubits located in different labs to a distributed quantum computer. Their system […]
A team of researchers has investigated transmon qubits made from semiconductor nanowires with a fully surrounding superconducting shell. In the regime of reentrant superconductivity associated with the destructive Little-Parks effect, numerous coherent transitions are observed […]
Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution (CV-QKD) enables information-theoretically secure key exchange between two parties using the continuous-variable properties of the quantized electromagnetic light field. The secret key rate of a CV-QKD system is limited by excess […]
A European consortium was launched today with the goal of scaling silicon quantum technologies. Named QLSI (Quantum Large-Scale Integration with Silicon), this four-year EU project, coordinated by CEA-Leti, will lay the foundation for the EU’s […]
Researchers at the US Army Research Laboratory have built a quantum sensor, which can sample the radio-frequency spectrum—from zero frequency up to 20 GHz—and detect AM and FM radio, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and other communication signals. The Rydberg […]
Some interesting article in Medium written by an interdisciplinary team of IBM researchers with partners from Daimler AG and Virginia Tech. Quantum computers are, by their very nature, well-suited to help scientists achieve breakthrough discoveries […]
German government has been convinced by the Quantum Cluster concept “QSens – Quantum Technology and Sensors of the future”. The Cluster will focus on the development of new quantum sensors for the areas IOT, Lifestyle, […]
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, […]
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 […]
