Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have developed a new algorithm based on reinforcement learning to find the optimal parameters for the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA). QAOA allows a quantum computer
For the first time, researchers from Duke University and the University of Maryland have designed a fully connected 32-qubit trapped-ion quantum computer register operating at cryogenic temperatures. The new system represents an important step toward
Researchers at Chicago Quantum continue to investigate the use of quantum computers in Finance. They have now looked for building an optimal portfolio out of a universe of 60 U.S. listed, liquid equities. Starting from

A mobile banking app based on SK Telecom’s 5G quantum cryptography technology will be introduced at a South Korean bank. Personal information will be thoroughly protected when customers transfer money or going through identity verification
IBM on Thursday announced it’s reached a new quantum computing milestone, hitting its highest Quantum Volume to date. Using a 27-qubit client-deployed system, IBM achieved a Quantum Volume of 64. Quantum Volume is a metric
Researchers at the University of Sussex have created an algorithm that speeds up the rate of calculations in the early quantum computers which are currently being developed. They have created a new way to route
So far, superconducting quantum computers have certain constraints on qubit connectivity, such as nearest-neighbor couplings. To overcome this limitation, a team of researchers at RIKEN, Japan, has proposed a scalable architecture to simultaneously connect several
Researchers at Oxford University, in collaboration with DeepMind, University of Basel and Lancaster University, have created a machine learning algorithm that interfaces with a quantum device and ‘tunes’ it faster than human experts, without any
Physicists from Trinity College Dublin have proposed a thermometer based on quantum entanglement that can accurately measure temperatures a billion times colder than those in outer space. These ultra-cold temperatures arise in clouds of atoms,
A research project funded by the U.S. Army has developed a new approach to manufacturing quantum computer chips, representing a significant step forward toward making quantum processors. The research was completed by scientists at the
