Can Quantum Improve Phone Batteries? Samsung & Honeywell Have Partnered to Explore the Possibility
Mobile phones. Smart watches. Tablet computers. Today’s technology is more portable and versatile than ever before thanks to longer-lasting batteries and other energy storage devices. The quest for more powerful, durable batteries and devices that can hold charges longer is never-ending. Global consumer technology and electronics giant Samsung – the maker of Galaxy phones, tablets, and other […]
Purdue University Scientists Say ‘Quantum Rainbow’ May Allow Room-Temperature Quantum Computing
A new quantum random walk technique developed by engineers at Purdue University could eventually allow computers to search through data at speeds beyond that of conventional computers. In a random walk, an agent randomly moves to the right or left at each time interval, much like a ball in a Galton board hopping to adjacent slots at […]

Image by Kurious from Pixabay Perfect Alignment NEC Corporation, a Japanese leader in the integration of IT and network technologies, has begun a partnership with ParityQC to develop innovation in the field of quantum annealing, a method of quantum computing. ParityQC is a quantum architecture startup based in Austria which develops blueprints for quantum computers that […]
CEA-Leti Team Paves the Way for Massive Integration of Qubits, Critical for Achieving Quantum Supremacy
CEA-Leti scientists have opened a pathway to large-scale integration of silicon-spin, or Si-spin qubits, using existing flip-chip processes with die-to-wafer 3 dimensional-interconnect technologies developed in-house, according to a news release. In a paper presented during the Electronics System-Integration Technology Conference (ESTC), the team reported preliminary electrical characterizations at cryogenic temperatures of chip assemblies made with […]
Microsoft-Led Team Retracts Quantumcomputing Paper
Paper Backing Microsoft’s Quantum Technology to be Retracted, Quantum Hardware Field Narrows. Microsoft’s full-stack quantum hardware ambitions received a sharp blow with news that a key research paper in Nature that backed the company’s main quantum approach would be retracted, and disputed Wired is reporting. While other companies, such as IBM and Google, backed more […]
Multi-Institutional Team Using D-Wave’s Quantum Annealing Computer To Better Understand Materials With Complex Magnetic Phases
Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay Shastry-Sutherland Ising Model A research team consisting of scientists from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Purdue University and the quantum computing (QC) company D-Wave Systems has been the first to produce precise results — by programming various parameters into the Shastry-Sutherland Ising model — from […]
German Ministry of Education and Research Awards €12.4 Million Grant to IQM Quantum Computers-led Consortium for Quantum Processors
Europe has always been excellent in academic research, but over the past few decades commercializing research projects has been slow compared to international competition. This is starting to change with quantum technologies. As one of the largest efforts in Europe and worldwide, Germany announced €2 billion funding into quantum programs in June 2020, from which […]
London Calling: 7 QC Startups Based In The UK Capital
Image by Pete Linforth from Pixabay Silicon Valley For The Rest of The World London, capital of the UK, home to nearly nine million people and famous the world over for its culture. Over two thousand years old, it joins New York City, Shanghai and Tokyo as one of the globe’s financial hubs. Yet, it’s not only […]
Cisco Showing Signs That It’s Gearing Up For a Long-term Quantum Future
There’s a buzz building over Cisco’s increasing investments — in both money and talent — in quantum, suggesting quantum technology is growing into its core portfolio. These increasing moves of this networking giant — and arguably the architect of the internet revolution — though restrained, are echoing loudly in the industry because of Cisco‘s (CSCO […]
The Pros and Cons of Representing Quantum States with a Hypergraph
Let’s Recap! We have gone through quite a journey with regards to entanglement so far. Here a list of the previous posts in this series: The Classical Interpretation of Controlled Operations Representing Entanglement with Graphs and Hypergraphs Quantum Programming: Building the Bell State Graph Destroying Entanglement in a Bell State But why is this relevant?
