Insider Brief Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is emerging as a foundational technology for secure communication in the quantum era, according to a new report and market map from Space Insider. Unlike conventional encryption, which faces vulnerabilities against quantum computing attacks, QKD ensures data security by leveraging quantum mechanics to detect
A white paper just released by Crystal Systems explores how the use of sapphire substrates could lead to significant improvements in the performance of superconducting qubits. Superconducting qubits – which use superconducting circuits to maintain and manipulate quantum information – are considered one of the most viable and scalable quantum
Insider Brief: Padua is a city where knowledge runs deep. Its quiet streets, lined with centuries-old arcades and echoes of Galileo’s lectures, remind us of both the everlasting and ever-evolving nature of science. For a few days this June, the city welcomed a gathering of physicists, students, founders, policymakers, and
Guest Post By Dr Sebastian WeidtCo-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Universal Quantum The recent news that IonQ has acquired Oxford Ionics should give us pause. On the one hand it is a testament to the world-class foundations the UK has built in quantum computing. On the other it adds to
Insider Brief A new theoretical study draws a mathematical link between black hole evaporation and a phenomenon in machine learning known as “double descent,” suggesting that insights from quantum gravity could help explain how algorithms recover information, even after extreme data loss. The paper, posted this month to the preprint
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — A rare and bewildering intermediate between crystal and glass can be the most stable arrangement for some combinations of atoms, according to a study from the University of Michigan. The findings come from the first quantum-mechanical simulations of quasicrystals—a type of solid that scientists once
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Academia Sinica today announced major scientific progress in quantum computing chip fabrication science, including the successful production of high-quality superconducting qubits using eight-inch wafer processing equipment, and the unveiling of Taiwan’s first Quantum Chip Fabrication Space (QC-Fab) and Quantum Computing Test Space (QC-Test).
