Anyone Wondering How Quantum Computers and Communications Will Integrate With Existing Supercomputers? Apparently Not. Whoops.
By Richard Murray We are close to a commercially useful quantum computer, which raises a significant question: How will it integrate with conventional data storage? As systems, the two represent fundamentally different technologies that must be made to work together. But little work has been done to ensure such harmonisation happens. In fact, it is […]
IBM Researchers Say Recent Experiment Is Another Step Along Path to Quantum Advantage
This may be one small step for quantum experimentation, but IBM scientists claim that a recent experiment offers a giant leap in demonstrating how quantum computers can best classical devices at certain tasks. Quantum computing, which uses the laws of quantum mechanics to perform calculations, is theoretically vastly better at a range of calculations than […]

TQD Exclusive on Honeywell Quantum Solutions & Cambridge Quantum Merger: Pioneering Quantum Firms’ ‘Entanglement’ Forms Quantum’s First Giant, Plants Flag for Exemplar Status
In quantum mechanics, entanglement means two or more qubits become a single quantum state, a state which offers vastly more power to probe computational possibilities than in the qubits’ previously separated state when coaxed into being by researchers and quantum computing programmers. Described variously as a merger and as a business combination, the recent news […]
Rigetti Computing Introduces Scalable Multi-chip Quantum Processor
Rigetti Computing, a pioneer in full-stack quantum computing, announced it is launching a multi-chip quantum processor. The processor incorporates a proprietary modular architecture that accelerates the path to commercialization and solves key scaling challenges toward fault-tolerant quantum computers. Rigetti expects to make an 80-qubit system powered by the multi-chip technology available on its Quantum Cloud […]
Colorado Startup At The Heart of Quantum Standards
Source: Vapor Cell Technologies. Turning a laser into a wavelength standard: quiet, stable, and accurate. Vapour Cell Part of the reason I love working and writing for the TQD is I get to learn new stuff every day (or attempt to). This could be from how neutral-atom quantum devices work to researching the latest quantum […]

Crédit Agricole CIB and European tech leaders Pasqal and Multiverse Computing today announced a partnership to design and implement new approaches running on classical and quantum computers in order to outperform state of the art algorithms for capital markets and risk management. International companies and institutions have already started investing heavily in quantum technologies. Europe, […]
Global Pandemic No Obstacle For The Birth of The Quantum Startup
Image by Meine Reise geht hier leider zu Ende. Märchen beginnen mit from Pixabay Remote-living World However much we try to find optimism in the health state of the planet since March 2020, it is very difficult to paint a pretty picture. This negativity, both in terms of the financial burden many governments have been under […]
