To paraphrase Richard Feynman, fireworks are quantum, dammit. Big Think’s Ethen Siegel offers a super-interesting article that breaks down the science of fireworks — and, in particular the quantum science of fireworks. Here are a […]
Quantum 8, 1399 (2024). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2024-07-04-1399 Trapdoor claw-free functions (TCFs) are immensely valuable in cryptographic interactions between a classical client and a quantum server. Typically, a protocol has the quantum server prepare a superposition of two-bit […]
Quantum 8, 1398 (2024). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2024-07-04-1398 We introduce a new class of random Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) codes derived from the cryptanalysis of the so-called NTRU cryptosystem. The derived codes are $good$ in that they exhibit constant rate […]
The Novo Nordisk Foundation, under the leadership of Senior Vice President Lene B. Oddershede, is leading efforts to harness quantum computing for groundbreaking advances in life sciences and healthcare. In a recent interview, Oddershede shared […]
Quantum 8, 1397 (2024). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2024-07-04-1397 Measurement-Based Quantum Computation (MBQC) is a model of quantum computation, which uses local measurements instead of unitary gates. Here we explain that the MBQC procedure has a fundamental basis in […]
The looming quantum computing revolution is forcing a revaluation of how organizations approach cryptography, according to renowned cryptography expert Taher Elgamal. In a recent interview, Elgamal discussed how the quantum threat is driving a shift […]
Insider Brief Researchers from the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in China have demonstrated that their classical computing system can execute a complex computation faster and more energy-efficiently than Google’s Sycamore machine. The team used their […]
One of the greatest mysteries of science could be one step closer to being solved. Approximately 80% of the matter in the universe is dark, meaning that it cannot be seen. In fact, dark matter […]
Quantinuum and the University of Colorado Boulder have advanced quantum error correction by implementing a high-rate non-local quantum Low Density Parity Check (qLDPC) [[25,4,3]] code on the H2 quantum processor. The [[25,4,3]] notation refers to […]
Xanadu has announced strategic partnerships with two prominent Japanese companies, Nanofiber Quantum Technologies (NanoQT) and QunaSys, aimed at advancing quantum computing capabilities in Japan. These collaborations are poised to accelerate quantum theory research and software […]
