Fluxonium Qubits Bring the Creation of a Quantum Computer Closer
Insider Brief: Russian scientists from the University of Science and Technology MISIS and Bauman Moscow State Technical University were one of the first in the world to implement a two-qubit operation using superconducting fluxonium qubits. Fluxoniums have a longer life cycle and a greater precision of operations, so they are used to make longer algorithms. […]

Review of PASQAL’s Quantum Computing Technology in 2022
Introduction Few would argue the case against France being one of the leading enablers of quantum technology on the planet. Besides the thriving quantum startup ecosystem that has evolved since Muquans was founded over ten years ago, France can also count on well-funded national initiatives too, with the French National Center for Scientific Research and […]
Google Already Using PQC to Protect Internal Communications
Google reports the company is already using post-quantum cryptography — PQC — security techniques to ward off steal-now-decrypt-later hacks, according to a post on the Google Cloud blog. The post, written by Google Senior Cryptography Engineers Stefan Kölbl, Rafael Misoczki and Sophie Schmieg, who are members of the ISE Crypto PQC working group, reports that […]

The researchers propose a universal gate set for quantum computing, with all-to-all connectivity and intrinsic robustness […]
Properly Framing Quantum Computing and Setting Appropriate Expectations: Global Quantum Computing Policy – Post #6
My name is Anders Liman. I’m a graduate student studying Tech Ethics and Science Policy at Duke University. I also hold a master’s in Computer Science from North Carolina State University. This summer, as part of a collaboration between Duke and Google, I researched the global quantum computing landscape in an effort to identify engagement […]
Researchers’ AI-Backed Logical Qubit Doubles Previous Quantum Coherence Times
A team of researchers report they were able to create an error-corrected logical qubit with coherence that vastly outperforms current quantum coherence time records. The team used innovations in machine learning and superconducting quantum chip fabrication to create the new system. The team, which includes researchers from Yale University and Université de Sherbrooke, said that […]
Women of Quantum: Dr. Maria (Marika) Kieferova of the University of Technology Sydney and Google Quantum AI
Australia is quickly becoming the next hub for quantum technology. From the Sydney Quantum Academy to the Quantum Australia conference, the “land down under,” is drawing in collaborations and talent to build next-generation quantum technology. Amidst the many individuals working toward these goals is Dr. Marika Kieferova. She is a lecturer at the University of […]
