Researchers at Paderborn University have developed a new method of distance measurement for systems such as GPS, which achieves more precise results than ever before. Using quantum physics, the team has successfully overcome the so-called
A team of German researchers have employed light-pulse interferometry to investigate and exploit the spatial coherence of multi-component Bose-Einstein Condensates (BECs) on a sounding rocket. BECs in free fall constitute a promising source for space-borne
The variational principle of quantum mechanics is the backbone of hybrid quantum computing for a range of applications. However, as the problem size grows, quantum logic errors and the effect of barren plateaus overwhelm the
Fermionic Linear Optics (FLO) is a restricted model of quantum computation which in its original form is known to be efficiently classically simulable. A team of researchers showed that, when initialized with suitable input states,
Relying in part on techniques used to sharpen up images from ground-based telescopes, researchers in China have implemented a type of secure quantum communications protocol—known as measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD)—across a wireless link connecting
Itamar Sivan, CEO of Israeli quantum startup Quantum Machines, is the second nominee of the ‘Quantum Personality of the Year 2020’. He has co-founded his company in 2018, just after having created WISe – the Weizmann
Researchers at Université de Montpellier and CNRS, University Leipzig and other universities in Europe have recently successfully isolated single, optically active artificial atoms in silicon for the first time. Given its potential for integration and scalability,
Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, in collaboration with the French CEA-Leti, have found industrially-manufactured transistor wafers to be suitable as a qubit platform capable of moving to the second dimension, a
Researchers at California Institute of Technology have achieved conditional quantum teleportation of time-bin qubits at the telecommunication wavelength of 1536.5 nm. They measured teleportation fidelities of ≥ 90% that are consistent with an analytical model
Wonderful tribute to Claude Shannon by David Tse, in Quanta Magazine. He (Shannon) never won a Nobel Prize, and he wasn’t a celebrity like Albert Einstein or Richard Feynman, either before or after his death
