Two German government ministries will fund quantum R&D for a total of almost €2 billion over a five year period. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) will contribute €1.1 billion and the Federal Ministry […]
We previously reported on Intel’s development of the Horse Ridge and Horse Ridge II cryogenic control chips that would allow generation of the necessary microwave pulses to control spin qubits at a temperature of 3 […]
D-Wave and CINECA, the Italian inter-university consortium and one of the world’s leading global supercomputing centers have announced a formal collaboration to offer Italian universities, researchers, and developers expanded access to practical quantum computing technology […]
In 1961, the Nobel prize winning theoretical physicist Eugene Wigner proposed what is now known as the ‘Wigner’s friend’ thought experiment as an extension of the notorious Schroedinger’s cat experiment. In the latter, a cat […]
ELLIS-ESA workshop on quantum algorithms and machine learning for huge data analysis, simulation and potential Earth observation applications Dates: Thursday, May 27, 2021 Submitted by Bertrand Le Saux on Fri, 14/05/2021 – 16:43. Registration deadline: […]
An experiment to capture unprecedented 3D images of the trajectories of charged particles has been demonstrated using cosmic rays as they strike and travel through a cryostat filled with a ton of liquid argon. The […]
Equal1 Laboratories (Equal1), a silicon-based quantum computing company, today announced the company is the first to demonstrate a fully integrated quantum processor unit (QPU) operating at 3.7 kelvin ― a major milestone with implications for […]
This week, China’s first photonic quantum computing startup TuringQ, announced the completion of an angel funding round of nearly 100 million RMB, which is the third highest funding record in the global photonic quantum computing […]
Quantum 5, 456 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-05-14-456 We describe the $textit{contextual subspace variational quantum eigensolver}$ (CS-VQE), a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm for approximating the ground state energy of a Hamiltonian. The approximation to the ground state energy is […]
Back in February, we described a new capability that IBM was developing called Qiskit Runtime. This capability can be particularly useful for hybrid classical/quantum algorithms such as QAOA and VQE where data is passed back […]
