Guest Post: A Different Path to Achieving Industry-relevant Results
Could quantum computers deliver useful and relevant results today, or must we wait years for universal, fault-tolerant gate-based computers? Classical computers are universal (can do “anything”), are fault-tolerant, and are fully programmable. But their capabilities are not without limits, giving birth to quantum computing as a new way of solving complex problems. Given the universality […]
World’s First Optical Atomic Clock With Highly Charged Ions
Insider Brief Optical atomic clocks are accurate measuring instruments critical for for basic and applied research. Researchers have demonstrated an optical atomic clock based on highly charged ions. This type of ion lends itself to such an application because it has extraordinary atomic properties and low sensitivity to external electromagnetic fields. Artwork credit: PTB) PRESS […]
Quandela, EDF Partner on Photonic Quantum Computing For Hydroelectric Dam Structure Simulation
Insider Brief Quandela and EDF agreed to study the use of photonic computing can in numerical simulations of hydroelectric dam deformation. The technology could increase the accuracy of the simulations, speed up the calculations and reduce the energy consumption of the same calculations. Longer term, the ambition is to generalize the simulation models to other […]
Quantum enigmas 003 – The four-square chessboard
Earlier this summer, Institut quantique launched its third Quantum enigma – The Four-squared chessboard. Alice and Bob are challenged by Aïka, who’s hidden a key under one of the four chessboard squares. A coin is then randomly placed on each of the four squares. How will Alice communicate to Bob the exact position of the […]
Professor Yaron Oz Talks Through Quantum Computing’s Impact on The World & Israel’s Role in Tel Aviv University Podcast
Quantum in Israel It’s always nice to hear the experts’ views as to what effect quantum computing will have on our future. Not only for the obvious benefit of hearing various views on the topic but also because it gives those working in the commercial sphere hope that the technology we are all working so hard […]
Competition Between China & US Fuelling Growth of the Quantum Ecosystem, Says Sabrina Maniscalco, Co-founder & CEO of Algorithmiq
Global Frontrunner In an excellent article published in Fortune in September, The U.S., China, and Europe are ramping up a quantum computing arms race. Here’s what they’ll need to do to win, the writers give their view on which country will come out on top. As expected, they believe the US is and will be […]
