The $1.2 billion U.S. National Quantum Initiative (NQI) was enacted in December 2018 for a ten year period with budget authorizations for science activities specified only for the first five fiscal years which ends on […]
D-Wave Quantum Inc. has announced it will partners with the Interpublic Group (IPG), one of the world’s largest advertising and marketing companies with 2022 revenue of $10.9 billion, to use D-Wave’s quantum technology for optimizing […]
Insider Brief Findings for the first independent assessment of the National Quantum Initiative Act recommend the program should be reauthorized and expanded. NQI has “increased the United States’ capacity in quantum information science and technology […]
Polarized electrons are electrons in which spins have a “preferred” orientation or are preferentially oriented in a specific direction. The realization of these electrons has notable implications for physics research, as it can pave the […]
Quantum 7, 1031 (2023). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2023-06-02-1031 Block encoding lies at the core of many existing quantum algorithms. Meanwhile, efficient and explicit block encodings of dense operators are commonly acknowledged as a challenging problem. This paper presents […]
Quantum 7, 1030 (2023). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2023-06-02-1030 Classical algorithms are often not effective for solving nonconvex optimization problems where local minima are separated by high barriers. In this paper, we explore possible quantum speedups for nonconvex optimization […]
Insider Brief Most experts believed that boson sampling had no practical purposes beyond serving as a quantum advantage benchmark. A team of researchers suggest that the boson sampling task serve as a backbone for a […]
Quantum 7, 1029 (2023). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2023-06-02-1029 A monitored quantum system undergoing a cyclic evolution of the parameters governing its Hamiltonian accumulates a geometric phase that depends on the quantum trajectory followed by the system on its […]
Current communication protocols heavily rely on public key encryption, digital signatures and key exchange, but the ability of quantum computers to efficiently solve mathematical problems threaten these protocols, which, essentially, are running the world’s economy. […]
The School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh invites applications for two research assistant position for two years funded by EPSRC to work on the Benchmarking Quantum Advantage at the recently created Quantum Software Lab, the […]
