Land of the Rising Qubit: Japan’s Quantum Computing Landscape
Economic Miracle Currently, there can be no doubt that the US and China lead the global quantum computing (QC) race. The quest to be the best in this sector — along with the acclaim it can bring those nations — will be an ongoing battle over the next decade or so. However, that doesn’t mean the other players in […]
Harvard study demonstrates material that may serve as a platform for stable Quantum Computing
Harvard University researchers have demonstrated the first material that can have both strongly correlated electron interactions and topological properties. It’s a discovery that not only paves the way for more stable quantum computing, but also an entirely new platform to explore the wild world of exotic physics. The research was published in Nature Physics. Topological insulators […]
The Weekly Quantum Digest: Are Quantum Computers Facing A Hardware Doomsday?
Quantum computers are doomed, predicts one physicist. Along with other (more positive) news about quantum computing in this week’s issue. Spotlight Story: “As someone who has worked on quantum computing for many years, I believe that due to the inevitability of random errors in the hardware, useful quantum computers are unlikely to ever be built.” […]
French Startup Quandela Lights Up The QC World
Different Approaches Using superconducting circuits to manipulate electrons. Ions traps to, well, trap atoms in a vacuum. Quantum annealing, whatever that complicated, mindboggling process is. Quantum dots etc. There are many ideas out there as to how qubits will be controlled to create the best, and most efficient, quantum computers. Photons Another way is by […]
Quantum.Tech Fosters Quantum Community, Commercialisation
Quantum technology is no longer on the fringe. It’s here. It’s growing. And it’s global. The Quantum.Tech conference and exhibition is leading the way to the next phase of quantum computing — commercialisation. The UK version of the event will be held 20 – 22 April, 2020 at Twickenham Stadium in London. According to event […]
TQD Exclusive: Interview with Atom Computing CEO, Ben Bloom
The ephemeral state of quantum bits — or qubits — is both the secret power of quantum computing and its not-so-hidden weakness. The unique quantum states of entanglement and superposition can generate massive computational power, but they’re also vulnerable to noise of the surrounding environment. That’s where Atom Computing comes in. The heart of the […]
Research paves the way for simulating quantum systems
Billions of tiny interactions occur between thousands of particles in every piece of matter in the blink of an eye. Simulating these interactions in their full dynamics was said to be elusive but has now been made possible by new work of researchers from Oxford and Warwick. In doing so, they have paved the way […]
Rigetti Quantum Computers Now Available via Amazon Web Services
Rigetti Computing, a leading provider of integrated quantum computing systems, today announced that its quantum computers will be available to users through Amazon Braket, a new, fully managed Amazon Web Services (AWS) solution that allows scientists, researchers, and developers to begin experimenting with computers from quantum hardware providers in a single place. Rigetti has also […]
The Weekly Quantum Digest: A Universal (Sized) Quantum Computer
Living in a giant quantum computer, using quantum computers to study wormholes and time crystals come back from the past and future. Not science fiction, baby. Science fact. Spotlight Story: “We present a new outlook on the cosmology, based on the quantum model proposed by Michael and Hall. In continuation of the idea of that […]
Amazon is Primed for Quantum Computing
Amazon, the Seattle e-commerce giant, announced three quantum computing initiatives at its AWS re:Invent event today. Those initiatives include: Amazon Braket (in preview today) is a new, fully managed AWS service that enables scientists, researchers, and developers to begin experimenting with computers from quantum hardware providers (including D-Wave, IonQ, and Rigetti) in a single place. AWS Center […]
