This post is not directly linked to Quantum Computing but might be interesting to our readers. An international team of researchers led by Swinburne University of Technology has demonstrated the world’s fastest and most powerful
Researchers from the University of Basel and TU Eindhoven have produced a new type of qubit that can be switched from a stable idle mode to a fast calculation mode. The challenge for quantum computing
Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) have demonstrated on-demand storage of photonic qubits in an integrated solid-state quantum memory for the first time. On-demand storage requires determination of the storage time after
A team at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has demonstrated the teleportation of high-dimensional states in a three-dimensional six-photon system. Compared with two-dimensional systems, high-dimensional system quantum networks have the advantages
A joint group of scientists has demonstrated that temperature difference can be used to entangle pairs of electrons in superconducting structures. The researchers designed a device where a superconductor was layered withed graphene and metal
Researchers at Universita degli Studi Roma Tre and University of Florence have characterized the energetic footprint of a two-qubit quantum gate from the perspective of non-equilibrium quantum thermodynamics. Despite the significant progress made towards the
Ilyas Khan, CEO of UK quantum startup Cambridge Quantum Computing, is the third nominee of the ‘Quantum Personality of the Year 2020’. He founded the company in 2014, when the wording ‘quantum’ was anything but trendy.
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocols are performed by sending a sizeable, but finite, number of quantum signals between the distant parties involved. Many QKD experiments, however, predict their achievable key rates using asymptotic formulas, which
The Dutch startup Qblox wins CES 2021 Innovation Award honoree for its qubit control hardware – the Cluster series and announces it secures $6Mn in seed funding from the European Innovation Council – Horizon 2020.
Quantum annealers are devices that physically implement a quantum system called the Ising model to solve combinatorial optimization problems like the famous traveling salesman problem. In the late 90s, scientists found that combinatorial optimization problems
