Honeywell Reports Achieving Quantum Volume 128 on Company’s Quantum Computer
The Honeywell Quantum team report in a company statement that they achieved a Quantum Volume of 128 on their Quantum Computer in late September 2020. They added that they expect that his achievement, along with future increases in the capabilities of quantum computers will help customers achieve results “beyond what they thought was possible.” “Honeywell […]
Rahko Takes Critical Steps Toward Practical Quantum Computing on Honeywell’s Device
Rahko, a quantum machine learning company, said it achieved highly accurate results in the latest work on quantum processing unit (‘QPU’) implementation. The work was done in collaboration between Rahko, led by Jules Tilly and Edward Grant; Johnson Matthey, led by Glenn Jones and Honeywell Quantum Solutions, according to a company blog post. “The interaction […]
Birth of E-Learning Platform Seeks to Empower, Promote and Connect Women Within the Quantum Computing Industry
Discrimination & Ignorance My grandfather once told me a witticism referring to his Irish immigrant experience in the UK during the 1940s before he went back to Ireland with his cap in his hand. It goes something like this: “When I was in London back in the day the hostels had signs ‘NO BLACKS, NO […]
Internationally renowned quantum computing leader joins Silicon Quantum Computing to build the first commercial quantum computer in silicon
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – September 30, 2020 – Silicon Quantum Computing (SQC), the Australian technology startup founded by Professor Michelle Simmons AO, today announced internationally-renowned quantum physicist Professor John Martinis has joined the SQC team to accelerate their development of a silicon based quantum computer. Professor Martinis, and his team at Google, were the first to demonstrate that […]

Spookier-Action-at-a-Distance? Quantum Entanglement Realized Between Distant Large Objects
Scientists have succeeded in entangling two very different quantum objects, according to a news release. The team of researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, who published their findings in Nature Physics, suggest the result has several potential applications in ultra-precise sensing and quantum communication. Entanglement is the basis for quantum communication and […]
Research Team Claims a Major Advance in Error Correction for Quantum Devices
A team of researchers say they’re a step closer to fault-tolerant quantum devices, a key factor in building practical quantum computers. In a study, available on Arxiv, the researchers report they experimentally demonstrated fault-tolerant preparation, rotation, error syndrome extraction and measurement on a logical qubit encoded in the 9-qubit Bacon-Shor code. They added that the […]
TQD Exclusive: Seeqc Cuts Its Own Path to the Quantum Era With Integrated Circuit Approach
Surrounded by corporate giants entering the quantum fray, like Google, IBM and Honeywell, Seeqc may look like a quantum David to a half-dozen or so Goliaths, but, rather than slings and stones, the company says it will rely on a unique approach to quantum technology — and a growing number of key partnerships across the […]
