Josephson junctions and superconducting quantum interference devices with graphene or other 2D materials as the weak link between superconductors have become a hot topic of research in recent years, with respect to both fundamental physics
Researchers at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland (EPFL) unravel novel dynamics in the interaction between light and mechanical motion with significant implications for quantum measurements designed to evade the influence of the detector in
Researchers at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a quantum communication chip that is 1,000 times smaller than current quantum setups, but offers the same superior security quantum technology is known for. Roughly
Robert Bosch Venture Capital GmbH (RBVC), the corporate venture capital company of the Bosch Group, has participated in an extension of the recent funding of IonQ, which comprises a sum of over 55 million US
Scientists from the universities of Alberta and Toronto developed a blueprint for a new quantum battery that doesn’t leak charge. The research team considered an open quantum network model with high structural symmetry as a
Researchers at American Institute of Physics and University of Witwatersrand in South Africa now review the progress being made in using structured light in quantum protocols to create a larger encoding alphabet, stronger security and
The Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) is a standard method for combinatorial optimization with a gate-based quantum computer. The QAOA consists of a particular ansatz for the quantum circuit architecture, together with a prescription for
PennyLane, Xanadu’s software for quantum machine learning & optimization of hybrid quantum-classical computations, now has support for Google AI Cirq via the new PennyLane-Cirq plugin! Cirq is an open-source framework for Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) computers. Combine
An adiabatic quantum algorithm is essentially given by three elements: An initial Hamiltonian with known ground state, a problem Hamiltonian whose ground state corresponds to the solution of the given problem and an evolution schedule
Volkswagen is launching in Lisbon the world’s first pilot project for traffic optimization using a quantum computer. For this purpose, the company is equipping MAN buses of the public transport provider Carris with a traffic
