Symbolic Model Checking Approach to Verify Quantum Circuits Could Lead to Error-free Quantum Computing
Insider Brief Quantum circuits comprise a sequence of quantum gates, measurements, and initializations of qubits, among other actions. Researchers say there is a gap between model-checking quantum programs and quantum circuits due to different representations and no iterations in quantum circuits. A new approach to model checking incorporates the laws of quantum mechanics and basic […]
Technique Could Lead to Mass Production of Quantum Dot Lasers For Optical Communications
Insider Brief South Korean researchers have successfully developed technology to mass-produce quantum dot lasers. Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) announced that they have developed the technology using Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) systems. Quantum dot laser diodes were traditionally produced using Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE), but this method was inefficient. Image: Comparison of 2-inch […]
