Quantum Technology News
Researchers at the University of Chicago have developed a new method to measure how photocurrents flow in a 2D material. That could have implications for developing quantum sensors and next-generation electronics. By using quantum sensors
A researcher at University of Exeter, Oleksandr Kyriienko, proposes a quantum inverse iteration algorithm, which can be used to estimate ground state properties of a programmable quantum device. The method relies on the inverse power
Measuring the energy of quantum states requires detecting energy changes so exceptionally small they are hard to pick out from background fluctuations, like using only a thermometer to try and work out if someone has
Single nuclear spins in the solid state are a potential future platform for quantum computing, because they possess long coherence times and offer excellent controllability. Measurements can be performed via localized electrons, such as those
Physicists at Rice University and Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) have observed quantum entanglement among “billions of billions” of flowing electrons in a quantum critical material, a strange metal compound of ytterbium, rhodium and
Xanadu, a Canadian quantum hardware and technology company, has received a $4.4M investment from Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC). The investment will expedite the development of Xanadu’s photonic quantum computers and make them available over the cloud.
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado Boulder have carried out a study, recently featured in Physical Review Letters, aimed at testing the limits to universality in an
Trapped neutral atoms have become a prominent platform for quantum science, where entanglement fidelity records have been set using highly-excited Rydberg states. However, controlled two-qubit entanglement generation has so far been limited to alkali species,
In a step toward practical quantum computing, researchers from MIT, Zapata Computing and Google have designed a system that can verify when quantum chips have accurately performed complex computations that classical computers can’t. Noisy Intermediate
Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago launched a new testbed for quantum communication experiments. The Argonne quantum loop consists of a pair of connected 26-mile fiber-optic cables as 52 total
