Record-breaking source for single photons

Researchers at the University of Basel and Ruhr University Bochum have developed a source of single photons that can produce billions of these quantum particles per second. Each photon is created by exciting a single […]

24 qubit GHZ entanglement at room-temperature

Austrian AQT startup has just announced their compact ion-trap quantum computer prototype, demonstrating 24 qubit GHZ entanglement in a room-temperature setup housed in two 19-inch racks. This research work in cooperation with the University of Innsbruck, […]

CQC and Roche partnership in drug discovery

Cambridge Quantum Computing (CQC) has just announced their collaboration with Roche, to design and implement noisy-intermediate-scale-quantum (NISQ) algorithms for early-stage drug discovery and development. The multi-year collaboration will combine the expertise of both CQC and […]

Silicon quantum dots using CMOS technology

Solid-state quantum computers require classical electronics to control and readout individual qubits and to enable fast classical data processing. Integrating both subsystems at deep cryogenic temperatures, where solid- state quantum processors operate best, may solve […]

AION: A UK Atom Interferometry Observatory and Network

Searches for dark matter and the detection of gravitational waves in the Universe have been boosted by the announcement from the UKRI Science Technology and Facilities Council (STFC) of initial funding for the AION (Atom Interferometry Observatory […]

Use of photonic structures for AI

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 […]
