Google Team Forges Path Toward Better Error Correction for Their Quantum Computer
In what the Google Quantum AI team described as exponential suppression of errors, the team reports it developed a cyclic error correction method that presents a promising path forward in the quest to build practical quantum computers. A lot of work remains, the researchers add. In a study published in Nature, the researchers report on […]
The Quantum AI Foundation: Charity Organization Aiming To Support QC Education & Collaboration in Poland
Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay Quantum AI Foundation While Poland is far from being a European leader when it comes to innovation in quantum computing (QC) and quantum information science (QIS) as of 2021, that doesn’t mean it is not up to anything at all. With several startups already busy discovering how quantum mechanics can […]
The Quantum Insider Insights: Can China Turn Engineering Prowess into Quantum Domination?
In this edition of The Quantum Insider, we take a deeper dive into recent news that Chinese scientists have smashed quantum supremacy with their superconducting qubit device. They previously hit that milestone with a optical circuit device. The news, which was described in ArXiv, poses almost as many questions as it answers, such as: What […]
Possible Intel, GlobalFoundaries Merger Would Tie Together Two Quantum-Curious Companies
Recent reports suggest that Intel Corp. is planning to acquire GlobalFoundaries for $30 billion. The move would not just tie together two world leaders in classical computing, but combine two organizations that are increasingly looking to stake claims in the quantum world. Several outlets are reporting on the potential deal. The Wall Street Journal reported […]
Quantum Matters: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of Quantum Cybersecurity
Imagine two scenarios. An assassination in Sarajevo. The subsequent chain of events ultimately leads to a world war. An estimated 20 million people die. A small US bank succumbs to a cyberattack. Amidst carefully placed misinformation campaigns, bank runs and riots, the repercussions start to drag down the financial system. The US blames Russia, calls […]
Duality Quantum Accelerator Accepts Six Startups into Inaugural Cohort
