Bell state with acoustic waves

Researchers in the University of Arizona Department of Materials Science and Engineering have demonstrated the possibility for acoustic waves in a classical environment to do the work of quantum information processing without the time limitations […]

Google or not Google?

It’s hard not to mention the current breaking news that everyone can read today everywhere, maybe even on tabloids. All the buzz came from a paper which might have been posted on NASA website where […]

New method for detecting quantum states of electrons

Team at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) has discovered a new method, called image charge detection, to detect electrons’ transitions to quantum states. Electron needs to be immobilized to be used as quantum […]

The Poor man’s Quantum Computer

Scientists at the Purdue University built a device that is a modified version of magnetoresistive random-access memory, or MRAM, which some types of computers use today to store information. The technology uses the orientation of […]

A new step toward room temperature quantum computing chips

Researchers at Stevens Institute of Technology have coaxed photons into interacting with one another with unprecedented efficiency which is a key advance toward realizing long-awaited quantum optics technologies for computing, communication and remote sensing. The […]

Non-Gaussian noise spectroscopy with a superconducting qubit sensor

Progress in noise cancelling for quantum computers

A team from Dartmouth College and MIT has designed and conducted the first lab test to successfully detect and characterize a class of complex, “non-Gaussian” noise processes that are routinely encountered in superconducting quantum computers.

True and ‘fake’ Majorana states

Researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden have identified how to distinguish between true and ‘fake’ Majorana states in one of the most commonly used experimental setups, by means of supercurrent measurements. Majorana states have exotic […]

Quantum Hall Effect (QHE) in three dimensions

Researchers at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) and the Southern University of Science and Technology in China announces the first experimental demonstration of the QHE (Quantum Hall Effect) in three dimensions. (The […]

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 […]

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 […]

NASA has developed a new quantum gravity sensor

The quantum sensor, which NASA has developed with Bay Area-based company AOSense, relies on some 100 million cesium atoms. The device launches the atoms inside a cylindrical column and times how quickly they fall. Atoms […]

What is Quantum probability?

Different approaches to quantum mechanics invoke different meanings of probability. What is “probability”? This very amazing article discusses three of the leading approaches to quantum theory: the “dynamical collapse” theories, such as the GRW model, the […]

NIST: Second round in post-quantum cryptography

NIST (US National Institute of Standards and Technology) has enlisted researchers from academia and private industry to get quantum-resistant cryptography ready for 2022. The agency is overseeing the second phase of its Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Process to narrow down the […]

Researchers propose a quantum network protocol stack

Delft University researchers presented an interesting paper (A Link Layer Protocol for Quantum Networks) at the recent ACM SIGCOMM conference regarding the challenges of building a quantum communication network stack. Effective quantum networking needs a robust networking […]

New alphabet to write and read quantum messages

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle forbids the velocity of the electron to be defined with arbitrary precision. The interplay of quantum mechanics and special relativity hence requires new alphabet to provide reliability. Researchers at the University […]

How a quantum computer really works

Researchers at Linköping University have shown how a quantum computer really works and have managed to simulate quantum computer properties in a classical computer. “We have shown that the major difference is that quantum computers […]
