The SHFSG Signal Generator is an instrument designed to control superconducting and spin qubits and reach higher fidelities with less overhead time. As the first solution of its kind on the market, the SHFSG operates […]
Honeywell makes the demonstration of the trapped-ion quantum CCD computer architecture
Trapped-ions is considered as one of the most promising mean to create most usable quibits, because it requires only a single ion crystal in a single trapping region. Unfortunately, it appears that this approach is unlikely […]
IBM Quantum Developer Certification
IBM Quantum and Qiskit team announced the IBM Quantum Developer Certification — the world’s first ever developer certification for programming a quantum computer. The purpose of this test, a 60-questions exam, is to certify that the members […]
A Quantum algorithm for the sensitivity analysis of business risks
Except for Value at Risk and option pricing, quantum algorithm are not often used to solve problems in finance. Indeed, such analysis are computationally too expensive to perform on classical computers. In this study, authors […]
Iterative quantum amplitude estimation
Iterative Quantum Amplitude Estimation
A team of researchers at IBM Quantum and ETH, Switzerland, has introduced a variant of Quantum Amplitude Estimation (QAE), called Iterative QAE (IQAE), which does not rely on Quantum Phase Estimation (QPE) but is only based on Grover’s Algorithm, which reduces […]
Dr. Julien Levallois becomes the new President of Swiss Quantum Hub
Dr Julien Levallois becomes the new President of Swiss Quantum Hub association. He replaces Franck Franchin who acted as Founding President for the last 2 years. Franck will be still involved in the Quantum Community […]
Resource-efficient quantum algorithm for protein folding
A team of researchers at IBM Research – Zurich, Switzerland, has presented a resource-efficient quantum algorithm for protein folding. Predicting the three-dimensional structure of a protein from its primary sequence of amino acids is known […]
CERN’s ATLAS: Evidence of a rare Higgs boson decay
CERN’s ATLAS has found first evidence of the Higgs Boson decaying to two leptons (either an electron or a muon pair with opposite charge) and a photon. Known as “Dalitz decay”, this is one of the rarest […]
IBM’s Quantum computer links two quantum revolutions
Using the IBM Q computer, physicists at EPFL have verified for the first time the tight relationship between quantum entanglement and wave-particle duality, showing that the former controls the latter in a quantum system. EPFL […]
Quantum Neural Networks
Fault-tolerant quantum computers offer the promise of dramatically improving machine learning through speed-ups in computation or improved model scalability. In the near-term, however, the benefits of Quantum Machine Learning (QML) are not so clear. Understanding […]
