A team of scientists at Freie Universität Berlin has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) method for calculating the ground state of the Schrödinger equation in quantum chemistry. Up to now, it has been impossible to […]
Quantum Personality of the Year – Nominee: Paulina Mazurek
Paulina Mazurek, CEO of Polish quantum startup BEIT, is the first nominee of the ‘Quantum Personality of the Year 2020‘ and she definitely deserves that honour. First, because she has co-founded her company in 2016, when a […]
Connecting qubits via a cryogenic link
Powerful quantum computers could be built by linking together multiple superconducting quantum processors. Promising schemes involve exchanging visible or infrared photons through optical fibers and converting such photons into microwave photons that can couple to […]
A state of vibration that exists simultaneously at two different times
Scientists from EPFL, MIT, and CEA Saclay demonstrate a state of vibration that exists simultaneously at two different times. They evidence this quantum superposition by measuring the strongest class of quantum correlations between light beams […]
