3 British Quantum Computing Research Hubs Not In Oxbridge Or London
Market Growth It seems extraordinary over the last decade how quantum computing (QC) has grown. This has been brought on partly by the level of investment in the space. According to an analysis conducted by Nature, the total value of deals in QC grew from $46m in 2012 to $173m in 2018, though 2017 was […]
TQD Exclusive: Interview with EeroQ CEO, Nicholas Farina
Operating a startup requires focus. Operating a startup in the quantum space requires an extreme amount of focus. The team at EeroQ is relying on scientific and business focus to achieve what would be one of the most important scientific and commercial ambitions of all time — a large-scale, universal quantum computer, according to Nicholas […]
Indiana University’s New Center Will Develop Technologies, Materials for Quantum Revolution
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana University has established a new research center to pursue the rapidly developing field of quantum science and engineering. The new Quantum Science and Engineering Center will investigate possibilities created by the strange properties of quantum theory, particularly the phenomenon known as quantum entanglement. Within the past two decades or so, scientists have realized that entanglement can […]

The aftermath of such an event can have far-reaching consequences for any business it happens to. Depending on the seriousness of the cybercrime, the […]
Quantum Programming 101: Getting real time information on IBM Quantum devices
Introduction IBMs quantum devices all vary whether its in terms of the number of qubits, pending jobs to those devices or whether they are operational at a certain time. With the backend_overview() function however we can see at a glance information for all those devices which can be very useful if we are deciding what […]
Quantum Computing Concerns Cryptocurrencies
Quantum computing has started to cause some concern. The world of cryptocurrencies has been a buzz and for good reason! Recent breakthroughs in quantum computing have brought new life to a well-founded concern. It deals with quantum computers reaching an appropriate size/power to perform the massive number of calculations needed to compromise standard encryption capabilities […]
Scientists Fire Up a Commercially Available Desktop Quantum Computer
Scientists suggest a desktop quantum computer based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) could soon be on its way to a classroom near you. Although the device might not be suited to handle large quantum applications, the makers say it could help students learn about quantum computing. SpinQ Chief Scientist Prof. Bei Zeng from University of […]
