A research team from the University of Science and Technology of China has made security analysis and improvement of Source Independent Quantum Random Number Generators (SI-QRNGs) with imperfect devices. By studying the actual characteristics of […]
Quantum Personality of the Year – Nominee: Daniel Twitchen
Dr Daniel Twitchen, Chief Technologist of UK-based E6 (ElementSix), a De Beers company, is the fourth nominee of the ‘Quantum Personality of the Year 2020’. Daniel has 25 years’ experience developing CVD diamond synthesis for […]
A single-quantum-dot heat valve
A team of researchers at University Grenoble Alpes and Centre of Excellence Quantum Technology has developed a single-quantum-dot heat valve. They have demonstrated gate control of electronic heat flow in a thermally biased single-quantum-dot junction. […]
Unexpected quantum behavior in insulators
Physicists at Princeton University have observed an unexpected quantum behavior in an insulator made from a material called tungsten ditelluride. This phenomenon, known as quantum oscillation, is typically observed in metals rather than insulators, and […]
Connecting ansatz expressibility to gradient magnitudes and barren plateaus
Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory proved a fundamental theorem for Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs), or more generally, for any parameterized quantum circuit (often called an “ansatz”). Parameterized quantum circuits serve as ansätze for solving […]
Entangled error-protected qubits
Researchers from the University of Innsbruck have entangled two qubits distributed over several quantum objects and successfully transmitted their quantum properties. This marks an important milestone in the development of fault-tolerant quantum computers. For their […]
Pivotal discovery in quantum and classical information processing
Researchers in the Argonne National Laboratory and Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering have demonstrated a novel approach that allows real-time control of the interactions between microwave photons and magnons, potentially leading to advances in electronic […]
Pricing financial derivatives with exponential quantum speedup
Pricing financial derivatives, in particular European-style options at different time-maturities and strikes, is a relevant financial problem. The dynamics describing the price of vanilla options when constant volatilities and interest rates are assumed, is governed […]
Google and Boehringer Ingelheim partnership
Google’s Quantum AI division is teaming with pharmaceutical company Boehringer Ingelheim to develop new types of drugs using Quantum Computing. The idea is to research and develop quantum computing tech to do molecular dynamics simulations, or the […]
Germany: Bavaria State launches The Munich Quantum Valley
German Bavaria State has just announced the launch of the Munich Quantum Valley. This initiative is a merger of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences, the Fraunhofer Society, the Max Planck Society, the Ludwig Maximilians University […]
