TQD Exclusive: Interview With University of Chile Physicist Luis Foa Torres
TQD: To kick things off, Luis, can you tell the TQD something about your educational background and achievements to date? Foa Torres: I’m a condensed matter physicist. I got my Ph.D. at the University of Córdoba in Argentina and then I moved for several postdocs in Europe. First at the International Center for Theoretical Physics […]
Will France’s €5.5 Billion Startup Investment Pledge Bear Fruit For Quantum Computing?
Startup Growth Trend In the last few years, it seems quantum computing (QC) has seen exponential growth in the number of European startups in the space. Companies like IQM Finland and Phase Space Computing out of Scandinavia. Quandela in France. And Alpine Quantum Computing (AQC) from Austria. These are just a few of the dozens on […]
Quantum Money and Bitcoin | Albaron Ventures
This article was written by By Vlad Andrei and originally published in Albaron Ventures. Deemed as one of the biggest potential technological revolutions of recent history, quantum computing also poses security risks for the cryptocurrency space. Quantum-computing is able to harness quantum mechanics to reach data processing levels otherwise impossible with traditional computing. In 2015, Google […]
TQD Exclusive: Investing in Quantum Computing
Given Quantum Computing’s stage of development, achieving targeted exposure to the sector still proves to be challenging. Given the increasing hype we have seen across Quantum Computing over the last year, we at The Quantum Daily are often asked, “how do I get in on this?” Hordes of would-be Cryptocurrency and CRISPR investors are constantly […]
IBM Doubles the Power of its Quantum Computer
New Year, new quantum computing advances. IBM said it now has a 28-qubit system, or about double the quantum volume of the company’s previous quantum computer systems, according to a post on the IBM Research Blog. The company also announced the upgrade to the system, which the team called “Raleigh.” at CES 2020. “Last year […]
The Weekly Quantum Digest: Tuning the Quantum-Classical Orchestra
Quantum Machines orchestrates the quantum revolution, building an off-the-shelf quantum computer and much more in this week’s digest of quantum news. Spotlight Story: “The classical layers of the quantum computer are the real unmet need.

Paraguay: Yerba Mate Quantum
Dictatorland South America, like other poor continents, faces many challenges. One of the greatest of these is the universal use and application of digital services and infrastructure. Of all the South American countries, none has suffered more — with maybe the exception of Colombia—than Paraguay has. This land-locked country of just over seven million souls has experienced […]
Quantum Programming 101: How to perform addition on quantum computers
Introduction In this tutorial you will see how to implement the quantum equivalent of a Full Adder on IBMs quantum computers using quantum logic gates. What is a Full Adder? A Full Adder is a logic circuit used by classical computers to implement addition on up to 3 bits. Source: circuitTHEORY The Full Adder circuit […]
Researchers Develop Benchmark to Better Measure Quantum Performance
Moving quantum computation from the labs and into the real world will require more precise ways to measure performance. Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have taken a step in that direction by developing a quantum chemistry simulation benchmark to evaluate the performance of quantum devices and guide the development of […]
