Scientists Put Electronic-Photonic Quantum System on a Chip
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Scientists from Boston University, UC Berkeley, and Northwestern University have reported the world’s first electronic–photonic–quantum system on a chip, according to a study published in Nature Electronics. The system combines quantum light sources and stabilizing electronics using a standard 45-nanometer semiconductor manufacturing process to produce reliable streams of correlated photon pairs […]
BU Researchers Turn to Physics For Better Defenses Against Quantum Cyberattacks
Insider Brief UNIVERSITY NEWS — In our hyper-connected world, we rely on encrypted communications every day—to shop online, digitally sign documents, make bank transactions, check our steps on fitness trackers. But today’s encryption, which transforms data into unreadable formats to keep our information secure, is under intense pressure. Cybercriminals are increasingly sophisticated, and our networks—woven […]
D-Wave Demonstrates First-Ever Coherent Quantum Spin Glass Dynamics With Quantum Computer
Insider Brief D-Wave and Boston University scientists show evidence of coherent quantum dynamics being faster than classical dynamics in a programmable 3D spin glass. The problem was once thought to be an intractable optimization problem. The study shows that D-Wave quantum processor can compute coherent quantum dynamics in large-scale optimization problem, according to the company. […]
