Adapting the 5-hour Rule to Quantum Technology
The business community is being challenged by the rapid advancement of quantum technology along a similar evolutionary framing to the entry of traditional technology. This has left members of the C-suite and even board of directors to question their current level of quantum technology awareness. They are also examining their ability to stay abreast of […]
U.S. Gives 30% Bump in Research Spending for Quantum, AI
Forbes is reporting that a White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) report shows the Trump administration is proposing a 30% increase in non-defense R&D spending on artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum information science next year. That will take the total to $2.2 billion. About $699 million of that will be spent on […]
Simple ‘Trick’ May Help Make Quantum States Last 10,000 Times Longer
Quantum technology promises fantastic new possibilities, but first scientists need to coax quantum systems to stay yoked for longer than a few millionths of a second. According to a news release, a team of scientists at the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering announced the discovery of a simple modification that allows quantum […]
EvolutionQ Awarded Contribution From Canada Space Agency for Quantum Key Distribution Network Research and Development
EvolutionQ was awarded a Space Technology Development Program (STDP) contribution by the CSA to develop solutions to advance satellite-based secure quantum communication services and tools to address challenges related to satellite-based Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) networks. Cryptography underpins the secure communications required for the digital, network-based social and financial interactions that are at the heart […]

Quantum Robotics For The Future
Whether quantum information science can assist robotics is an open debate, yet there are already individuals out there trying to prove it can Photo by Maximalfocus on Unsplash Hype With the popularity of quantum computing (QC) expanding, it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish what is real from the hype. And that’s normal. Technology often times, especially […]
The Quantum Daily partners with QURECA to create global opportunities in Quantum Technologies
The Quantum Daily (TQD) is partnering with QURECA (Quantum Resources and Careers), a provider of services and business development for the quantum technology community, including the first online platform for training and recruitment. In 2019, the Royal Society described QURECA Ltd. as the company that “fills the gaps in the existing quantum community, creating a […]
Quantum Computing Now Podcast Episode 18 – Interview with Peter Johnson from Zapata Computing
I had an excellent, thoroughly entertaining, and long chat with Peter Johnson from Zapata Computing. We got to talk a lot about VQE, quantum advantage, and new algorithms that try to squeeze performance out of quantum hardware. Zapata Paper Announcement video (MUST WATCH): https://youtube.com/watch?v=RifDO1zBYjI arXiv link to paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.09350 A Quantum Festschrift for David Poulin: […]
TQD Exclusive: Unitary Fund Team Pushes For an Open QC Industry That Benefits the Most People
Quantum computing is based on multi-billion-dollar science fiction-like hardware setups and seems to run on hieroglyphic-looking code developed for space aliens.There’s no way the average person could understand, let alone use a quantum computer, right? Not if the Unitary Fund team can help it. The Unitary Fund was built on the premise that sowing the […]
Scientists Develop First Quantum Algorithm to Characterize Noise Across Large Systems
Noise is the main obstacle to building large-scale quantum computers. To tame the noise (interference or instability), scientists need to understand how it affects an entire quantum system. Until now this information was only available for very small devices or subsets of devices. Dr Robin Harper and colleagues, who recently published their work in Nature […]
