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 […]

Connecting qubits with a topological waveguide

Researchers at California Institute of Technology have explored how topology can endow special properties to a photonic platform in which superconducting qubits are embedded in a waveguide. The researchers showed that this configuration produces topological […]

Riverlane secures $20 million in Series A funding

Riverlane has raised $20m in Series A funding to build Deltaflow, its operating system for quantum computers. This new funding follows a £3.25 million seed round completed in June 2019. The round was led by […]

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 […]

France announces a 1.8 billion euros Quantum Plan

The French President has just announced that the french research centers, start-ups and industrial groups will have a budget of 1.8 billion euros over five years. France has now a Quantum Plan. The French Quantum […]

Do simulations represent the real world at the atomic scale?

Do simulations represent the real world at the atomic scale?

A team of scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, the University of Chicago and the University of California, developed a groundbreaking validation protocol for simulations of the atomic structure of the interface between a solid (a metal oxide) and liquid water.

Drones to create local quantum networks

A team of Chinese researchers has used drones to create a prototype of a small airborne quantum network and to send entangled particles from one drone to another and from a drone to the ground. […]

New type of optical quantum computers

Scientists at the Institute of Physics of the University of Tartu, Estonia have found a way to develop optical quantum computers of a new type, based on the discovery of Rare Earth Ions (REIs) that […]

India collaborates with Amazon in Quantum Computing

The India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has announced a collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to develop a Quantum Computing Applications Lab in the country. The lab is meant to provide access […]

New state of matter in one-dimensional quantum gas

Researchers at Stanford University have developed a quantum version of Archimedes’ screw that, instead of water, hauls fragile collections of gas atoms to higher and higher energy states without collapsing. Most nonequilibrium, many-particle systems eventually […]
