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 […]
Large numbers can only be factorized with a great deal of computational effort. Physicists at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, led by Wolfgang Lechner are now providing a blueprint for a new type of quantum […]
Quantum 7, 994 (2023). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2023-05-04-994 Rapidly improving gate fidelities for coherent operations mean that errors in state preparation and measurement (SPAM) may become a dominant source of error for fault-tolerant operation of quantum computers. This […]
