Multiverse Computing Research Shows Limited-Qubit Devices Can Find Solutions to Complex Math Problems
Insider Brief: Multiverse Computing created an algorithm designed to turn a quantum computer into a mathematical tool that can run complex calculations, called continuous variables. Continuous variables can’t be counted because they can take on an unlimited number of values between the lowest and highest points of measurements. The algorithm was designed to run on […]
Entropy Quantum Computing Offers an Innovative Path Toward Scalable Quantum Computing
For most scientists – and especially those physicists exploring quantum information science – the mere mention of words like “entropy” and “decoherence” are enough to keep them up at night. The research team at Quantum Computing Inc. – QCI – does not suffer from scientific term-induced insomnia. In fact, they see entropy and decoherence as keys […]
Researchers Demonstrate Photon-assisted Coherent Quantum Phase Slip Effect
Insider Brief Researchers demonstrate another quantum mechanical effect in superconductors – the photon assisted coherent quantum phase slip effect in a very thin superconducting nanowire. The effect is revealed as the formation of current steps on the current-voltage characteristic subject to microwave radiation. The main potential application of it is the development of a metrological […]
