Mariachi Quantum: Mexico’s QC Era Begins
Tecnológico de Monterrey At the Tecnológico de Monterrey, Mexico, something special is happening with quantum computers. North of the border, in the United States, quantum computing (QC) has already been in development since Richard Feynman’s prophetic vision at the First Conference on the Physics of Computation, at MIT 1981, ushering in the quantum computer age. […]
VW, D-Wave Hop on Quantum Computers To Ease Traffic Jams
Volkswagen and D-Wave are piloting a program to see if quantum computers can help optimize traffic flow in Portugal’s capital and busiest city. They expect this test to lead to more projects that would use quantum computers to cut down on congestion and traffic problems, which is the bane of commuters’ existence in many cities. […]
Quantum Programming 101: Superdense Coding Tutorial
What is Superdense coding ? Superdense coding is a quantum communications protocol that allows a user to send 2 classical bits by sending only 1 qubit. The protocol Step 1: Preparing the Bell pair First a bell pair consisting of 2 qubits is prepared. Where q0 is the senders qubit and q1 is the receivers […]
Quantum Supremacy: Are we at the end of the beginning?
Last week, Google AI scientists said their quantum computer outperformed a classical computer. And it wasn’t just that the quantum computer — called Sycamore — outperformed the classical computer, it allegedly beat it by a vast, vast stretch. Sycamore verified the randomness of large number in a little over three minutes. That same task would […]
TQD Q and A: Planting the seeds for a grassroots quantum computing revolution
One thing that is different from the quantum computing revolution compared to prior waves of technological innovations — from, let’s say, the early manned flight pioneers or the Homebrew Computer Club that spawned Apple — is the difficulty in creating a grassroots movement of enthusiasts. After all, nobody has a quantum computer factory in their […]

Academic consortium is now an international effort to tap powers of quantum tech
The Chicago Quantum Exchange (CQE), an intellectual hub aimed at advancing quantum information engineering and science, has gone global. The organization announced in a news release that leading research organizations in Europe and Australia have joined the exchange, which are steps toward creating global partnerships that are essential to new breakthroughs in quantum science and […]
Quantum Godfathers #3: Christopher Monroe: The Michigan Magician
Recognition Christopher Monroe. It’s not a household name, that’s for sure. He’s not a guy instantly recognizable to the masses. Well at least if you’re not into quantum computing. If you are, though, he may be something of a hero to you. American physicist Christopher Roy Monroe was born in Michigan in 1965. After gaining […]
Bitcoin Versus Quantum Supremacy: A Match Made in Hell
A Round Peg, Square Hole Ask yourself this question: Do you wanna be rich? Chances are, you do — no, sorry, the fact is you do. I don’t care who you are: an Orange-garbed Buddhist monk or a Marxist rebel hiding out in some Central American jungle, there’s a Warren Buffet waiting to get out. Tell me otherwise […]
