College Park, Maryland-based IonQ may be the first US-based pure-play quantum company to go public through a SPAC. Bloomberg is reporting that the company is in talks to merge with a special purpose acquisition company, […]
Quantum 5, 400 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-02-24-400 The Gottesman-Knill theorem states that a Clifford circuit acting on stabilizer states can be simulated efficiently on a classical computer. Recently, this result has been generalized to cover inputs that […]
Algorithms that search for a pattern within a larger data-set appear ubiquitously in text and image processing. Pattern matching algorithms are used ubiquitously used in image processing, the study of DNA sequences, and data compression […]
Bloomberg has published an article indicated that IonQ is in talks to merge with a Special Purpose Acquisition Corporation (SPAC) corporation called DMY Technology Group Inc. III. A SPAC is sometimes known as a “blank […]
Quantum computers promise not only to outperform classical machines for certain important tasks, but also to preserve privacy of computation. For example, the blind quantum computing protocol enables secure delegated quantum computation, where a client […]
A team of researchers at Universität Stuttgart, Germany, has developed an ion-optics-based quantum microscope that is capable of creating images of individual atoms. The microscope built by the team began with the use of an […]
A month ago, UT Austin changed its email policies—banning auto-forwarding from university accounts to Gmail accounts, apparently as a way to force the faculty and other employees to separate their work email from their personal […]
D-Wave Systems Inc., the leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, today published a milestone study in collaboration with scientists at Google, demonstrating a computational performance advantage, increasing with both simulation size and problem […]
Image by David Peterson from Pixabay Respected In Their Fields About a year ago, I wrote a post for TQD covering some of the most influential women in the quantum tech industry today. The article, 12 Women […]
To climate scientists, clouds are powerful, pillowy paradoxes: They can simultaneously reflect away the sun’s heat but also trap it in the atmosphere; they can be products of warming temperatures but can also amplify their […]
