Photonic qubits are key enablers for quantum information processing deployable across a distributed quantum network. An on-demand and truly scalable source of indistinguishable single photons is the essential component enabling high-fidelity photonic quantum operations. A
An international team of researchers led by the University of Minnesota Twin Cities has developed a unique process for producing a quantum state that is part light and part matter. The discovery provides fundamental new
IonQ laid out its five-year roadmap for trapped ion quantum computers and plans to achieve broad quantum advantage by 2025. The company plans to deploy rack-mounted modular quantum computers small enough to be networked together
D-Wave has just announced a cross-system software tool providing interoperability between quantum annealing and gate-model quantum computers. The open-source plugin allows developers to map quadratic optimization inputs in IBM’s Qiskit format onto D-Wave’s quadratic unconstrained
Tunneling is a fundamental quantum process with no classical equivalent, which can compete with Coulomb interactions to give rise to complex phenomena. Phosphorus dopants in silicon can be placed with atomic precision to address the
Solid-state qubits with transition frequencies in the microwave regime, such as superconducting qubits, are at the forefront of quantum information processing. However, high-fidelity, simultaneous control of superconducting qubits at even a moderate scale remains a
At an Intel Labs virtual event today, Intel unveiled Horse Ridge II, its second-generation cryogenic control chip, marking another milestone in the company’s progress toward overcoming scalability, one of quantum computing’s biggest hurdles. Building on
Researchers at the University of Michigan, University of Regensburg and University of Marburg propose a new tool that uses light to map out the electronic structures of crystals. This could reveal the capabilities of emerging
A team at Amazon has presented a comprehensive architectural analysis for a fault-tolerant quantum computer based on cat codes concatenated with outer quantum error-correcting codes. For the physical hardware, they have proposed a system of
A team in China claims to have made the first definitive demonstration of ‘Quantum Advantage’ by exploiting the counter-intuitive workings of quantum mechanics to perform computations that would be prohibitively slow on classical computers. They
