Interview with IBM Vice President Bob Sutor
Unifying Classical Physics and Quantum Physics Measurement
Research from Yale University, newly published in Annals of Physics, has established that we can unify the ways in which we describe measurements in classical physics and quantum physics. When Feynman was not saying that “nobody really understands quantum mechanics,” he was, in contrast, saying, “The physicist needs a facility in looking at problems from […]
The Quantum Weekly: Smashing Entanglement Records and Building Quantum Computers with Godlike Powers
Quantum Physicists: “We Don’t Really Have a Real Quantum Computer Yet.” Mathematicians: “Hold Our Beer.” Smashing quantum entanglement records. Using quantum computers to help cars drive all by themselves. And plant-sized quantum computers with godlike powers… you know, just another week of quantum industry news in this edition of The Quantum Weekly. Spotlight Story: “If […]
AQT, an Innsbruck-based Quantum Computing Startup, Proves Austria is More Than Just Skiing And Mozart
Photo by Nicole Baster on Unsplash Many Opinions Trapped ion technology in QC is one of the newer approaches and one Austrian startup aims to prove it’s a viable option in contrast to the others currently on show. There are many opinions in the quantum computing (QC) industry, both from academics and business experts alike in […]
Quantum Lab Startup With Thoughts of Driverless Cars On Its Mind
Photo by Angello Lopez on Unsplash Breaking Glass Notwithstanding Elon Musk’s embarrassing moment a few months ago when Tesla’s Cybertruck window cracked during a demonstration of its toughness, all his company’s futuristic projects are here to stay. For the moment. And the sarcastic memes will continue ad infinitum. But he probably doesn’t care. Considering it was […]
Chinese Scientists Smash Quantum Entanglement Record
Chinese scientists have transmitted the quantum version of computer memory between two entangled clouds of atoms over 50 kilometers, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. The feat, which was achieved using standard fibre optic cables, smashes a quantum entanglement record. Prior to this, the record for quantum memory experiments was 1.3-kilometer. Entanglement, a cornerstone of […]
Artificial Atoms Create Stable Qubits for Quantum Computing
Quantum engineers from UNSW Sydney have created artificial atoms in silicon chips that offer improved stability for quantum computing, according to a news release. In a paper published today in Nature Communications, UNSW quantum computing researchers describe how they created artificial atoms in a silicon ‘quantum dot’, a tiny space in a quantum circuit where electrons are used […]
Canadian Quantum Metamachinist’s Eureka Moment For Cloud-Based QC
Photo by Jon Tyson on Unsplash In general relativity, a black brane is a solution of the equations that generalizes a black hole solution but it is also extended — and translationally symmetric — in p additional spatial dimensions. That type of solution would be called a black p-brane Slick Website When I see a website, a piece of art, […]
Super-Fast Switch May Lead to Better, Faster Quantum Tech
A new optical quantum switch with ultra-fast switching times and very low energy consumption may be useful in quantum computers and other forms of quantum technologies, according to An international team led by the Institute of Materials Science (ICMUV) of the University of Valencia. The researchers added that, in comparison to other designs, the device, […]
IBM Invests in Cambridge Quantum Computing
Cambridge, England — In a sign of the growing maturity and increasing confidence in the quantum computing industry, Cambridge Quantum Computing (“CQC”), a leading global quantum computing company, announced today that IBM has become a strategic investor in the company, according to a news release. The investment comes after years of collaboration between CQC and […]
