The major developments in human history are always steeped in dark ironies. Yes, that’s my Law of Dark Irony, the whole thing. I don’t know why it’s true, but it certainly seems to be. Taking […]
Insider Brief The White House released the United States Government’s National Standards Strategy for Critical and Emerging Technology. The strategy is aimed at strengthening American technology’s foundation and safeguard consumers while promoting U.S. leadership and […]
For the first time, researchers have demonstrated a prototype lidar system that uses quantum detection technology to acquire 3D images while submerged underwater. The high sensitivity of this system could allow it to capture detailed […]
Insider Brief Terra Quantum and Thales Group have applied hybrid quantum computing to demonstrate significant value creation potential for improving satellite operational utility. Results suggest hybrid quantum-enabled models could lead to significant higher revenue potential […]
Life on other worlds — if it exists — might be so alien as to be unrecognizable. There’s no guarantee that alien biology would use the same chemistries as on Earth, with familiar building blocks […]
Large numbers can only be factorized with a great deal of computational effort. Physicists are now providing a blueprint for a new type of quantum computer to solve the factorization problem, which is a cornerstone […]
Quantum 7, 997 (2023). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2023-05-04-997 Most near-term quantum information processing devices will not be capable of implementing quantum error correction and the associated logical quantum gate set. Instead, quantum circuits will be implemented directly using […]
Quantum 7, 996 (2023). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2023-05-04-996 We introduce Inflation, a Python library for assessing whether an observed probability distribution is compatible with a causal explanation. This is a central problem in both theoretical and applied sciences, […]
Insider Brief The German Aerospace Center (DLR) selected planqc to develop a digital neutral-atom-based quantum computing hardware and software platform. The 100-qubit system will be installed at the DLR Innovation Center in Ulm. This is […]
Quantum 7, 995 (2023). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2023-05-04-995 Simulating large quantum systems is the ultimate goal of quantum computing. Variational quantum simulation (VQS) gives us a tool to achieve the goal in near-term devices by distributing the computation […]
