The New Quantum Center at ETH Zurich
ETH Zurich announced its new Quantum Center. The center has 28 founding members from 6 different departments of ETH Zurich and the Paul Scherrer Institute. The purpose of the new ETH Quantum Center is to ensure
ColdQuanta and ParityQC work on QAOA optimization problems
Solving industry-relevant problems using a quantum algorithm faster than any classical computer is considered the grand challenge of quantum computing. ColdQuanta, a developer of cold atom quantum technology, has joined forces with ParityQC, an Austrian
Ultra-thin designer materials unlock quantum phenomena
Physicists at Aalto University have designed a new ultra-thin material that they have used to create elusive quantum states. Called one-dimensional Majorana Zero energy Modes (MZMs), these quantum states could have a huge impact for
Physicists invent a machine that translates quantum systems in time
A research group at the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI), Austria, has explored time rewind and fast-forward reality question from the point of view of quantum mechanics. Their answer: With current quantum
Tiny quantum computer solves real optimization problem
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have shown that they can solve a small part of a real aviation logistics problem with their small, but well-functioning quantum computer. All airlines are faced with scheduling
Bedtime reading: Fermions can behave like bosons
Researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and the Purdue university use quantum simulation to explore a bosonization phenomenon with ultracold fermions in three dimensions. Bosons and fermions, two types of
6-qubit Optimal Clifford Circuits
Clifford group lies at the core of quantum computation: it underlies quantum error correction, its elements can be used to perform magic state distillation and they form randomized benchmarking protocols, Clifford group is used to
Irish Centre for High-End Computing receives ATOS Quantum Simulator
The Irish Centre for High-End Computing (ICHEC) announced that it has received the GPU-accelerated Quantum Learning Machine Enhanced (Atos QLM E) from Atos. ICHEC is the National High-Performance Computing (HPC) Centre which manages the Irish National supercomputer ‘Kay’ on behalf
Low-overhead fault-tolerant implementation of quantum T Gate
Researchers at Amazon propose a new approach to reduce the number of ancillary qubits required to implement the crucial T gate by at least an order of magnitude. Today’s qubits are still too noisy to
New type of quantum magnetic behavior with ultra-cold atoms
Researchers from MIT and Harvard University reveal how magnetic forces at the quantum, atomic scale affect how atoms orient their spins. In experiments with ultra-cold lithium atoms, they observed different ways in which the spins of
