Spinout, Spinoff, Call Them What You Will, But in Quantum Computing, They’re Becoming Ever-Popular
Photo: Stanislav Kondriatev Stumbling Block Startups begin life in many shapes and forms: it could be a few college buddies coming together, or a prophetic founder with a vision recruiting for talent online. For many technological initiatives, this is a good way to go about starting the journey towards entrepreneurial success. Quantum computing (QC), however — especially […]
Gaming your Way into Quantum Computing
Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize technology. While classical computing involves the use of bits (zeros and ones), to represent data, quantum computers benefit from the ability of “quantum bits” to be in a state of superposition. The quantum equivalent of “bits” are “qubits” and the phenomenon of Superposition allows these quantum entities to […]
Fraunhofer in Scotland Leads £10 Million Drive to Take Quantum Technology ‘To Another Level’
Fraunhofer’s Centre for Applied Photonics (CAP) in Glasgow, part of Fraunhofer UK, is leading an ambitious, collaborative drive to make quantum technology (QT) easier to adopt, according to a company news release. The project – QT Assemble – will address the challenges of size, weight, power and reliability through the use of innovative assembly processes […]

Devs — Quantum Fact Or Quantum Fiction?
Photo source: Efe Kurnaz Over The Top Effigy Those of you who have watched the eight-part original series by FX on Hulu Devs will have — if you enjoyed the other offerings from the show’s writer-director Alex Garland, Ex Machina and Annihilation — bloody well enjoyed yourself. Okay, on a personal note, Ex Machina was clever but a little bit pedestrian […]

In addition to EQT Ventures, one of the largest venture capital funds in Europe, Swedish-based FAM AB, a […]
IBM’s Quantum Roadmap Points Toward 1,000-Qubit Quantum Computer by 2023
IBM said it’s quantum roadmap has a big pin stuck in 2023 for a 1,000-qubit quantum computer, according to the IBM blog. In the blog, IBM staffers write: “Today, we are releasing the roadmap that we think will take us from the noisy, small-scale devices of today to the million-plus qubit devices of the future. […]
Physicists’ Tunable Spin Wave Excitation Advance Could Help Create Spin-Based Quantum Computers
Physicists from MIPT and the Russian Quantum Center, joined by colleagues from Saratov State University and Michigan Technological University, have demonstrated new methods for controlling spin waves in nanostructured bismuth iron garnet films via short laser pulses. Presented in Nano Letters, the solution has potential for applications in energy-efficient information transfer and spin-based quantum computing. A particle’s […]
