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. […]
The variational principle of quantum mechanics is the backbone of hybrid quantum computing for a range of applications. However, as the problem size grows, quantum logic errors and the effect of barren plateaus overwhelm the […]
Fermionic Linear Optics (FLO) is a restricted model of quantum computation which in its original form is known to be efficiently classically simulable. A team of researchers showed that, when initialized with suitable input states, […]
Relying in part on techniques used to sharpen up images from ground-based telescopes, researchers in China have implemented a type of secure quantum communications protocol—known as measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD)—across a wireless link connecting […]
Itamar Sivan, CEO of Israeli quantum startup Quantum Machines, is the second nominee of the ‘Quantum Personality of the Year 2020’. He has co-founded his company in 2018, just after having created WISe – the Weizmann […]
Researchers at California Institute of Technology have achieved conditional quantum teleportation of time-bin qubits at the telecommunication wavelength of 1536.5 nm. They measured teleportation fidelities of ≥ 90% that are consistent with an analytical model […]
A team of researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory and Google has reviewed the state of the art of Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs). Applications such as simulating large quantum systems or solving large-scale linear algebra […]
