BASF predicts chemical reactivity using quantum algorithms

BASF and HQS Quantum Simulations, both German companies, collaborates in quantum chemistry for prediction of chemical reactivity. They used the hybrid quantum-classical variational quantum eigensolver algorithm in combination with the unitary coupled-cluster ansatz (UCCSD-VQE) that could provide […]

Bigger quantum computers? Just build them like Legos

Quantum Circuits, a startup founded in 2017, is networking mini quantum devices together like Legos to create quantum computers easier to scale up. The startup uses quantum teleportation entangling a microwave photon in one module with […]

Novel atomic clock design offers ‘tweezer’ control

Researchers at JILA, a joint research institute operated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado Boulder, have demonstrated a novel atomic clock design that combines near-continuous operation with […]

ABN AMRO and QuSoft partnership in Quantum

ABN AMRO and Dutch research consortium QuSoft are joining forces to explore the opportunities offered by Quantum. Under the  two-year project name DisQover, both organizations will explore problems in the financial sector which could be […]

GRID joins the IBM Q Network

IBM and Japan company GRID have built a partnership: GRID will join the IBM Q Network and receive access to IBM Q quantum computing systems. GRID is specialized in developing solutions in deep learning and […]

Physicists finally nail the proton’s size

In 2010, Randolf Pohl of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (Quantamagazine) announced his team precisely measured the size of the proton by substituting the electron of a hydrogen atom by a muon. The size […]
