A specially designed chip to control qubits can operate at extremely low temperatures, and opens the door to solving the ‘wiring bottleneck’. Researchers and engineers from QuTech in the Netherlands and from Intel Corp., jointly
Fermions can either exist as individual particles, like electrons, protons, and neutrons, or as so-called quasiparticles. The latter are composed of many components, but behave like a single fermion particle. What characterises fermions is that
Professor Nicolas Gisin, Honorary Professor of the Physics Section of the University of Geneva and ID Quantique’s co-founder and board member, is among the personalities to be included in the Larousse dictionary 2022 edition. Nicolas Gisin
In physics, things exist in “phases”, such as solid, liquid, gas. When something crosses from one phase to another, we talk about a “phase transition” – think about water boiling into steam, turning from liquid
Dr Julien Levallois becomes the new President of Swiss Quantum Hub association. He replaces Franck Franchin who acted as Founding President for the last 2 years. Franck will be still involved in the Quantum Community
A team of researchers at IBM Research – Zurich, Switzerland, has presented a resource-efficient quantum algorithm for protein folding. Predicting the three-dimensional structure of a protein from its primary sequence of amino acids is known
CERN’s ATLAS has found first evidence of the Higgs Boson decaying to two leptons (either an electron or a muon pair with opposite charge) and a photon. Known as “Dalitz decay”, this is one of the rarest
Using the IBM Q computer, physicists at EPFL have verified for the first time the tight relationship between quantum entanglement and wave-particle duality, showing that the former controls the latter in a quantum system. EPFL
Fault-tolerant quantum computers offer the promise of dramatically improving machine learning through speed-ups in computation or improved model scalability. In the near-term, however, the benefits of Quantum Machine Learning (QML) are not so clear. Understanding
Researchers at the University of Basel and Ruhr University Bochum have developed a source of single photons that can produce billions of these quantum particles per second. Each photon is created by exciting a single
