Companies that use AI must now consider Quantum AI
Although there is still a lot of uncertainty in a type of computing driven by uncertainty, experts are beginning to advise enterprise-size businesses that they can no longer discount quantum computing, especially companies that rely, or expect to rely on AI. “If you haven’t started thinking about how quantum computing will impact your enterprise, you […]
The QC House of Cards
There’s Gold in Them Thar Hills Gold rushes can make people crazy. 1848 was enough of an indicator of that. When Sam Brannan announced to the world: ‘Gold! Gold! Gold from the American River!’, half the world’s population (or so it seemed to the tiny California population which lived there at the time) descended on […]
Microsoft Opens New Doors – or Windows – to the Quantum Cloud
Select customers will have access to three prototype quantum computers, thanks to a new initiative from Microsoft. The software giant announced today that these customers will be able to use quantum computers from Honeywell and from two startups, IonQ and QCI, according to Wired. Microsoft’s Azure Quantum integrates quantum programming tools that the company released […]

Super Small Quantum Chip Designed to Thwart Hackers
If you’re using a personal identification number — PIN — or a password to purchase an item with your smartphone, hackers can intercept and steal that data. Quantum technology can make sure that those valuable bits of communications aren’t being snooped on. The problem with using quantum technology, though, is that current chips are far […]
Introduction to Qubits: Part 2
In the last section we covered the basics of qubits and introduced the concept of logical and physical qubits. In this section we will look at some of the most popular ways to create qubits and discuss their advantages. It’s important to remember that the goal is to find a method that can be scaled […]
Quantum Machines: First QC Startup in The Holy Land
Documentary Inspiration Watching Wired’s feature-length documentary on YouTube a few weeks ago, Holy Land: Startup Nations, was educational. Detailing the tech startup scene in the diverse, hip, secular and modern city of Tel Aviv to the more traditional setting of Jerusalem and onto places in the West Bank like Ramallah and Nazareth, by the end […]
The Weekly Quantum Digest: Taking Quantum Bits for an Atomic Spin
Just in time for Halloween: Creamy quantum liquid-filled star corpses, quantum computing existential threats, and more quantum science news, opinion and jobs. Spotlight Story: “This work is an important step towards using spins on a surface as qubits for quantum computing,” team member Andreas Heinrich tells Physics World. “The STM allows us to build essentially […]
