Stevens Researchers Take Step Toward More Precise, Practical Quantum Technologies
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Quantum technologies are poised to transform fields ranging from medicine and sensing to computing and communications by manipulating the energy states of atoms and molecules. These manipulations are achieved by controlling quantum states with laser pulses. However, the intense laser fields often required for this control can cause unwanted effects […]
Small Quantum System Outperforms Large Classical Networks in Real-World Forecasting
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Can a handful of atoms outperform a much larger digital neural network on a real-world task? The answer may be yes. In a study published in Physical Review Letters, a team led by Prof. PENG Xinhua and Assoc. Prof. LI Zhaokai from the University of Science and Technology of China of […]
Rigetti Computing Announces Next-Generation 40-Qubit and 80-Qubit Quantum Systems
PRESS RELEASE — Rigetti Computing (TQI:Rigetti), a pioneer in hybrid quantum-classical computing, introduced its next-generation “Aspen-M” 80-qubit quantum computer into private beta. Aspen-M is the world’s first commercial multi-chip quantum processor, solving a critical scaling challenge in the race toward fault-tolerant quantum computing. The Aspen-M processor leverages Rigetti’s proprietary multi-chip technology and is assembled from […]
For Quantum Systems to Emerge — They May Also Need to Learn How to Merge, Say Physicists
Today’s quantum computers contain up to several dozen memory and processing units, the so-called qubits. Severin Daiss, Stefan Langenfeld, and colleagues from the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching have successfully interconnected two such qubits located in different labs to a distributed quantum computer by linking the qubits with a 60-meter-long optical fiber. […]
