4 Ways Quantum Has The Potential To Be a Powerful Problem Solver, Massive Energy Saver For The Environment
There are a lot of reasons to promote quantum computing — from advancing science to addressing the limitations of classical computing — but researchers are increasingly suggesting that the most important mission of quantum computing and other forms of quantum technology will be its use as a tool for scientists and entrepreneurs hoping to halt […]
The Quantum Internet Space Race Is Accelerating
Recent breakthrough experiments are just the latest in an accelerating timeline of development. In early June, when researchers from Spain and China simultaneously published two independent breakthroughs towards the development of quantum repeaters, it may have seemed like a surprising coincidence. On the contrary, these two experiments mark just the latest in an accelerating global […]
Researchers May Have Discovered a Way to Run Quantum Software on a Classical Computer
Scientists say they may have found a way to execute a complex quantum computing algorithm on traditional computers instead of quantum ones. The specific “quantum software” they are considering is known as Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) and is used to solve classical optimization problems in mathematics; it’s essentially a way of picking the best […]
Researchers Design a Chip with Hardware Trojans That Could Thwart Post-Quantum Hackers
A team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has designed and commissioned the production of a computer chip that implements post-quantum cryptography very efficiently. Such chips could provide protection against future hacker attacks using quantum computers. The researchers also incorporated hardware trojans in the chip in order to study methods for detecting this type […]

Quantum Warfare
The research on developing new technology using quantum physics has funding from many different sources, one of the largest being the U.S. military. The military has been researching quantum technology for decades, with projects going back as far as the 1950s. Quantum technology (the application of quantum physics into real-life applications) could give the US […]
Guest Post: Vision of a Quantum Future
It was early 2016 and snow was falling gently as I made my way on foot from Oxford Railway Station towards the Science Campus, home to the Clarendon Laboratory and one of the top Physics departments in the world. I was smartly dressed for an interview to join the ‘User Engagement’ team at a new […]
51 CTOs Transforming The World of Quantum Tech
Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay Important Role A chief technology officer (CTO) is one of the most important roles in any tech company. Sometimes the head of engineering, at other times not, the CTO has to be an excellent engineer while also possessing the required skills to communicate complicated technical issues to people from non-technical […]
