Scientists Plot Out Plan to Create Faster, Better Qubits for More Stable Quantum Computers
Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) have put forward a detailed plan of how faster and better defined quantum bits – qubits – can be created, according to a university news release. The central elements are magnetic atoms from the class of so-called rare-earth metals, which would be selectively implanted into the crystal lattice […]
Riverlane Secures $20 million in Series A Funding, Aims to Make Quantum Computers Useful, Sooner
Riverlane has raised $20 million in Series A funding to build Deltaflow, its operating system for quantum computers, according to a company statement. Over the past year, we have signed up 20% of the world’s quantum hardware manufacturers to use Deltaflow and will use the funding to expand internationally to the US, Europe and beyond. […]
Quantum Programming: Building the Bell State Graph
In this post, we will walk through an example in order to understand and define how to apply 1 and 2 qubit operations on a state described by a graph or, more generally, a hypergraph as described in our previous post. We will build the famous Bell State. The Initial State Most quantum systems start […]
Thinking Big in Space by Going Small: The SeQBO Project in Italy Harnesses Cutting Edge Quantum Tech
Cubesats are the mainstay of the growing satellite market. They get better, smaller, and more powerful by the year. An interdisciplinary team in Italy works on the quantum SeQBO project. SeQBO is a multiple-phase project that started in 2018. I came across the team’s technical paper, “SeQBO – A miniaturized system for Quantum Key Distribution,” […]
