Professor Michelle Simmons, a quantum physicist from the University of New South Wales and the 2018 Australian of the Year, has received the highest distinction at the Prime Minister’s Science Awards. Celebrating its 24th year, […]
Envisioned Extensions of an Operating Quantum Network for the AQNET-SD Project. Credit: Fermilab The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science Advanced Scientific Computing Research program has awarded Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) $9 million in funding […]
By Carolyn Mathas POLARISqb just received a Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) award supporting the use of quantum computers to design drugs. The research contract is part of DARPA’s Imagining Practical Applications for a […]
Atoms of the metal ytterbium-171 may be the closest things in nature to perfect qubits. A recent study shows how to use them for repeated quantum measurements and qubit rotations, which may aid in the […]
Quantum mechanics is full of weird phenomena, but perhaps none as weird as the role measurement plays in the theory. Since a measurement tends to destroy the “quantumness” of a system, it seems to be […]
Particle accelerators are crucial tools in a wide variety of areas in industry, research and the medical sector. The space these machines require ranges from a few square meters to large research centers. Using lasers […]
Applications are invited for the position of a Research Fellow (Job reference: REC00000794 & salary range: £39,347 – £45,585 per annum) on the quantum simulation project at the University of Portsmouth. The main project will […]
One way physicists seek clues to unravel the mysteries of the universe is by smashing matter together and inspecting the debris. But these types of destructive experiments, while incredibly informative, have limits. Click to rate […]
A brain is nothing if not communicative. Neurons are the chatterboxes of this conversational organ, and they speak with one another by exchanging pulses of electricity using chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. By repeating this process […]
Insider Brief Collaboration will build the essential foundations for a photonic quantum computer powered by neutral atom technology. The partnership includes: PASQAL, Sorbonne Université, France; Pixel Photonics GmbH (PIX), Germany; The Institute of Photonic Sciences […]
