Fermions can either exist as individual particles, like electrons, protons, and neutrons, or as so-called quasiparticles. The latter are composed of many components, but behave like a single fermion particle. What characterises fermions is that […]
The Irish government will be investing multi-million euros to set up a National Quantum Engineering Centre at the Tyndall National Institute in Cork, Ireland. The facility will have about 900 square meters of space and […]
During Google’s much-anticipated I/O 21 keynote address and in a blog post, the company made it clear that its quantum aspirations did not end in the 2019 declaration of quantum supremacy. The company plans to […]
Two Russian financial and research giants report that they are combining forces to explore the development of quantum technologies. Sberbank and joint venture Quantum Technologies (JV Kvant Ltd.), a ROSATOM company, have agreed to cooperate […]
A heart surgeon doesn’t need to grasp quantum mechanics to perform successful operations. Even chemists don’t always need to know these fundamental principles to study chemical reactions. But for Kang-Kuen Ni, the Morris Kahn associate […]
For decades, mathematicians have debated a simple question about graphs and the number of connections they have. Now, using arguments an undergraduate math student could have come up with, Asaf Ferber of the University of […]
IonQ, Inc. (“IonQ”), the leader in quantum computing, announced the IonQ Research Credits Program to provide teams and individuals from qualified institutions with free credits for quantum compute time on IonQ’s cutting-edge hardware, according to […]
We are looking for two new PhD students in quantum photonics, You will either work on quantum dots as single photon sources and their application for the creation of multiphoton quantum states in one of […]
Cerberis XG QKD Device. Credit: ID Quantique The new device from ID Quantique (IDQ) is called Cerberis XG and includes improvements in size, value, and ease of use. It leverages IDQ’s fourteen years of QKD […]
A Tale of Two Cities Sometimes — like in the famous Charles Dickens novel — quantum computing is a tale of two cities, though by that I don’t mean Paris and London, but rather two cities that share the same […]
