By the beginning of 2020, no initiatives were promoting and discussing quantum technologies outside the academia in Brazil. Also, unlike many developed countries, Brazil has not defined a national plan to develop Quantum Computing. There
Origin Quantum Computing Technology, a Chinese startup, launched the country’s first homegrown operating system (OS) for quantum computers. The new OS, named Origin Pilot, has been optimized for the resource management and parallel processing capabilities
Cambridge Quantum Computing (CQC) today announced the latest version of tket (pronounced “ticket”), its high-performance quantum software development kit (SDK), with all licence restrictions removed for use of tket’s Python module (also known as “pytket”).
A team of physicists from the University of Glasgow are the first in the world to find a way to use quantum-entangled photons to encode information in a hologram. Classical holography creates two-dimensional renderings of
Faster algorithms for combinatorial optimization could prove transformative for diverse areas such as logistics, finance and machine learning. A team of researchers at Google Research has demonstrated the application of the Google Sycamore superconducting qubit

Today’s quantum computers contain up to several dozen memory and processing units, the so-called qubits. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics have successfully interconnected two such qubits located in different labs to
A team of researchers has investigated transmon qubits made from semiconductor nanowires with a fully surrounding superconducting shell. In the regime of reentrant superconductivity associated with the destructive Little-Parks effect, numerous coherent transitions are observed
Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution (CV-QKD) enables information-theoretically secure key exchange between two parties using the continuous-variable properties of the quantized electromagnetic light field. The secret key rate of a CV-QKD system is limited by excess
A European consortium was launched today with the goal of scaling silicon quantum technologies. Named QLSI (Quantum Large-Scale Integration with Silicon), this four-year EU project, coordinated by CEA-Leti, will lay the foundation for the EU’s
Researchers at the US Army Research Laboratory have built a quantum sensor, which can sample the radio-frequency spectrum—from zero frequency up to 20 GHz—and detect AM and FM radio, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and other communication signals. The Rydberg
