When lasers were invented in the 1960s, they opened new avenues for scientific discovery and everyday applications, from scanners at the grocery store to corrective eye surgery. Conventional lasers control photons—individual particles of light—but over […]
In quantum technologies, everything depends on the ability to detect the properties carried by a single photon. But in the real world, that photon of interest is often buried in a sea of unwanted light—a […]
Silicon is ubiquitous in modern electronics, and now it is becoming increasingly useful in quantum computing. In particular, silicon’s compatibility with existing chip technology and its long coherence times in silicon-based spin qubits make it […]
Insider Brief Quantum Corridor and Quantum Computing Inc. deployed a Dirac-3 quantum optimization machine on a commercial quantum-safe network to provide secure, on-demand access. The system is installed at a commercial data center in Indiana […]
Physicists have developed a new theoretical framework which unifies a wide array of seemingly unrelated “Mpemba effects”: counterintuitive cases where systems driven further from equilibrium relax faster than those closer to it. Reporting their results […]
In theory, a universe can come in any shape or size, but scientists prefer to think about three basic kinds of universes: one that’s expanding, one that’s collapsing, and one that stays the same. Out […]
Insider Brief Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the University of California Santa Barbara demonstrated chip-scale laser and ion-trap components that could significantly shrink quantum computing hardware. The study shows that large, complex […]
IQM Finland Oy has secured a €50 million ($57.4 million USD) financing facility from funds and accounts managed by BlackRock. This capital is designated to accelerate the company’s technology roadmap, fuel ongoing research and development, […]
Insider Brief Quantum AI refers to the intersection of quantum computing and artificial intelligence, encompassing both the use of quantum computers to accelerate AI workloads and the application of AI techniques to improve quantum hardware […]
Insider Brief Toshiba and LQUOM have signed a joint research agreement to study long-distance quantum key distribution using quantum repeater technology. The project will evaluate combinations of QKD protocols and repeater architectures to address distance, […]
