Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy suffers from poor sensitivity compared to other analytical techniques, because it relies on the weak magnetic fields produced by a small thermal nuclear spin polarization. Consequently, a conventional NMR apparatus
Chinese researchers have reported the exchange of a secret key for encrypting and decrypting messages over a distance of 1,120 kilometers. Previous work has demonstrated Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) along up to 404 kilometers of coiled optical
Element Six, part of the De Beers Group, is launching its first commercially-available, general-purpose chemical vapour deposition (CVD) quantum grade diamond, DNV-B1™. DNV-B1™, the first solution in Element Six’s new DNV™ Series, is targeted to those
Researchers at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) have developed a new mechanical quantum memory with sufficiently long storage times, a high readout efficiency, and the ability to operate at telecom wavelengths. As key component
Researchers at ETH Zurich have designed the first programming language, Silq, that can be used to program quantum computers as simply, reliably and safely as classical computers. Silq is the very first high-level programming language
Xanadu and AQT announced that PennyLane, an open-source project from Xanadu for quantum machine learning, automatic differentiation, and optimization, now supports AQT quantum computers. Xanadu develops software for quantum machine learning (QML) and optimization. PennyLane, one
A new Quantum Computing startup has just emerged out of stealth mode: Universal Quantum, announcing an oversubscribed £3.6 million seed-funding round. The company is set to develop its new quantum computing approach and compete with
A team of physicists of the University of Basel and ETH Zurich have developed the theoretical foundations for a QKD communication protocol that offers ultimate privacy protection and can be implemented experimentally. This protocol guarantees
Researchers at EPFL and IBM Quantum present a quantum algorithm to compute the discrete Legendre-Fenchel Transform (LFT). Most currently known quantum algorithms use a few basic building blocks as subroutines. Examples of these building blocks
While conducting experiments on a layered metal, EPFL researchers witnessed something very surprising. The unexpected electron behavior they discovered could open up possibilities in the field of quantum computing. In the world of materials science,
