Introduction to Quantum Computing – With Ethan Hansen
Quantum Computing Now: Introduction to Quantum Computing.
Researchers say they’re making connections to build quantum networks
Creating quantum networks, or the quantum internet, will need to be able to connect the super-senstive states over long distances, something that has been difficult to achieve. However, in two studies, a team of researchers, led by Delft University of Technology, have made progress in the conversion of quantum states between signals in the microwave […]
Quantum Computing Takes to The Skies
First in Flight Since Oliver and Orville Wright were first in flight in 1903, man has seen it as his destiny to take to the skies, to conquer what for many before thought impossible. Airplanes have come a long way since those salad days in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Now, the aerospace and defense industry (A&D) […]
Qubits may need to ‘poll the audience’ to arrive at solutions
Like an uncertain game show contestant, a quantum computer may need to tap into the wisdom of crowds to solve problems, according to a team of researchers. In a study, the researchers found that running the same operation multiple times on different sets of qubits — quantum information bits — may help quantum computers arrive […]
The Weekly Quantum Digest: Hello world
From teleporting ginormous — relatively — particles to changing banking as we know it, here’s a digest of breaking news in the quantum world this week. Spotlight Story: Why I Coined the Term ‘Quantum Supremacy’ — Wired “In 2012, I proposed the term “quantum supremacy” to describe the point where quantum computers can do things […]
Five – or Six – industries that will feel the impact of quantum computing’s first wave of disruption
Like the first small waves that lap onto the shore before a tsunami, the tide of quantum computing is beginning to roll in and experts are already predicting which industries will take the initial impact of this revolution, whether that will be decades, years — or months. Here are some industries that will probably be […]
Quantum Godfathers #2: John Stewart Bell: Superposition, Irish Style
Eternal Sunglasses Ireland’s not famous for its scientists. The Emerald Isle has more of a reputation for writers and singers: James Joyce, Jonathon Swift, and cough-cough, Dublin’s favourite son and man of the eternal sunglasses, Bono. Creatively, the Irish have always pulled way above their weight considering the population of the country. But in science, […]
Superconducting material could make quantum computers super-useful
We know that quantum computers can work. That’s not the problem. The issue is finding materials that make these devices more useful and practical. Now, researchers from Johns Hopkins University report that they are a step closer to creating the building blocks that can do just that, according to a release in Phys.Org. “We’ve found […]
Q-LION, Spain’s First Quantum Computing Startup
Spanish Innovation It is not only countries like Germany, the Netherlands, Austria and the UK that quantum computing and quantum systems are being developed in Europe. In every corner of the continent, innovative startups — loaded with both business-savvy entrepreneurs along with their team of promising quantum physicists and programmers — are gaining traction with their business goals. So […]
Nature announces start of Quantum gold rush – but doubts remain
Quantum computing may one day create an exponential increase in computing power, but its power to attract private money and venture capital is nearing that exponential rate already. According to Nature Magazine, since 2012, private investors have bought into about 52 companies that are working on quantum technology. In two years — between 2017 and […]
