‘Giant atoms’ May Create All-in-One Quantum Processing and Communication
MIT News reports that researchers have introduced a quantum computing architecture that can perform low-error quantum computations while also rapidly sharing quantum information between processors. The work represents a key advance toward a complete quantum computing platform. Before, small-scale quantum processors have successfully performed tasks at a rate exponentially faster than that of classical computers. […]
Method Could Help Predict Properties of Complex Quantum Systems
A team of researchers from California Institute of Technology recently introduced a new method that can be used to predict multiple properties of complex quantum systems from a limited number of measurements, according to Phys.org. The method, outlined in a paper published in Nature Physics, has been found to be highly efficient and could open […]
Bristol Startup Applying the Power of Quantum Information Science to Target Bacterial Diagnostic Cure
Since the dawn of time, diseases have been with us. Doesn’t matter the kind: viral or bacterial, the germs don’t discriminate. Photo by CDC on Unsplash Plague In the history of the world, bacterial infections have ravaged humanity like wars or genocides couldn’t. The Plague of Athens of 430 BC is the first that comes to […]
TQD Exclusive: Quantum Computing Must Be People-Powered, Not Just Quantum Powered, Says Horizon Quantum Computing’s CEO
No matter how fast. No matter how powerful. No matter how many qubits can be entangled. No matter how long those qubits can remain entangled. The quantum computer industry will never reach its full potential unless people can actually use quantum computers. Horizon Quantum Computing, a Singapore-based quantum startup, was founded with the mission of […]
Israeli Startup – Classiq – has raised $4M Directed at Building the Next Layer of the Quantum Software stack
Within the next few years, quantum computing is projected to make tectonic changes in huge industries. To prepare for the quantum era, leading companies have already entered the field, trying to develop game-changing quantum algorithms for their needs. While the quantum computer hardware development is accelerating fast, the software is still a major bottleneck in […]
Quantum Insurance: Getting Ready Now Can Save Your Business
I caught the quantum computing bug in the spring of 2018. When Matt Johnson, CEO of a software startup in Palo Alto, reached out to me, I was in an established and safe position with IBM, selling advanced analytics software. I was on a great team with amazing managers, and it felt like I could […]
