Paulina Mazurek, CEO of Polish quantum startup BEIT, is the first nominee of the ‘Quantum Personality of the Year 2020‘ and she definitely deserves that honour. First, because she has co-founded her company in 2016, when a

Powerful quantum computers could be built by linking together multiple superconducting quantum processors. Promising schemes involve exchanging visible or infrared photons through optical fibers and converting such photons into microwave photons that can couple to
Researchers at Stevens Institute of Technology have created a chip-based photon source 100 times more efficient than previously possible. To create photon pairs, researchers trap light in carefully sculpted nanoscale microcavities; as light circulates in
Scientists from EPFL, MIT, and CEA Saclay demonstrate a state of vibration that exists simultaneously at two different times. They evidence this quantum superposition by measuring the strongest class of quantum correlations between light beams
ETH Zurich announced its new Quantum Center. The center has 28 founding members from 6 different departments of ETH Zurich and the Paul Scherrer Institute. The purpose of the new ETH Quantum Center is to ensure
Solving industry-relevant problems using a quantum algorithm faster than any classical computer is considered the grand challenge of quantum computing. ColdQuanta, a developer of cold atom quantum technology, has joined forces with ParityQC, an Austrian
Physicists at Aalto University have designed a new ultra-thin material that they have used to create elusive quantum states. Called one-dimensional Majorana Zero energy Modes (MZMs), these quantum states could have a huge impact for
A research group at the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI), Austria, has explored time rewind and fast-forward reality question from the point of view of quantum mechanics. Their answer: With current quantum
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have shown that they can solve a small part of a real aviation logistics problem with their small, but well-functioning quantum computer. All airlines are faced with scheduling
Researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and the Purdue university use quantum simulation to explore a bosonization phenomenon with ultracold fermions in three dimensions. Bosons and fermions, two types of
