University of Innsbruck Researchers Say Entangled Error-Protected Quantum Bits Sets a ‘Milestone’
A team of University of Innsbruck-led researchers report they were able to entangle error-protected quantum bits, a milestone they say could make quantum computers more useful and practical. In a news release, the researchers explain that even computers can miscalculate. Already small disturbances change stored information and corrupt results. That is why computers use methods […]
Quantastica Fantastica, The Computational Bridge Between The Quantum & The Classical Worlds
Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay New State of Mind Without a doubt, quantum computing (QC) has come a long way over the last decade. Ever since the first quantum computer became available to use on the cloud less than five years ago (thanks IBM), it has put the once out-of-reach piece of lab technology into the […]
Backed by 300 Million-Euro Program, Officials Kick Off ‘Munich Quantum Valley’ Initiative
A group of scientists and entrepreneurs say that the Bavarian quantum initiative is officially underway and could lead to a German quantum computer, according to a Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik news release translated from the German original. “Munich Quantum Valley” is the central element of the Bavarian quantum initiative, which the partner organizations want to advance […]
One Bit, Qubits, A Dollar: Researchers Say Economists Should Prepare for Quantum Money
A Sveriges Riksbank working paper may help economists better understand quantum technology — and prepare them for the possibility of quantum money. While the idea of quantum money is not new, most research attention has been focused on the power of quantum computing to protect — and disrupt — electronic commerce, such as cracking cryptographic […]
