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
Some interesting article in Medium written by an interdisciplinary team of IBM researchers with partners from Daimler AG and Virginia Tech. Quantum computers are, by their very nature, well-suited to help scientists achieve breakthrough discoveries
German government has been convinced by the Quantum Cluster concept “QSens – Quantum Technology and Sensors of the future”. The Cluster will focus on the development of new quantum sensors for the areas IOT, Lifestyle,
With 41.95% of the votes, Ilyas Khan, CEO of the UK startup Cambridge Quantum Computing (CQC), has won the title of the “Quantum Personality of the Year 2020“. As a visionary, Ilyas founded CQC in 2014,
Recent experimental breakthroughs in satellite quantum communications have opened up the possibility of creating a global Quantum Internet using satellite links. This approach appears to be particularly viable in the near term, due to the
Azure Quantum, the Microsoft’s full-stack, public cloud ecosystem for quantum solutions, is now open for business. Developers, researchers, systems integrators, and customers can use it to learn and build quantum solutions. The unified Azure Quantum
A team of Microsoft and University of Sydney researchers has developed a novel approach for controlling qubits. Rather than employing a rack of room-temperature electronics to generate voltage pulses to control qubits in a special-purpose
