In the fall of 1972, Vance Faber was a new professor at the University of Colorado. When two influential mathematicians, Paul Erdős and László Lovász, came for a visit, Faber decided to host a tea […]
The standard model of particle physics encapsulates our current knowledge of elementary particles and their interactions. The standard model is not complete; for example, it does not describe observations such as gravity, has no prediction […]
Quantum Motion, a UK-based quantum computing startup led by academics from UCL and Oxford University, has made an advance that the researchers say improves the viability and production of quantum computers, according to a company […]
My son Daniel had his fourth birthday a couple weeks ago. For a present, he got an electric train set. (For completeness—and since the details of the train set will be rather important to the […]

The research team “Quantum Chaos in Many-Body Systems”, led by Dario Rosa, is looking for postdoctoral fellows willing to join the group. The research interests of the group cover several topics, whose common theme is […]
Are you using a quantum computer for computational chemistry, finance applications, or optimizations? That’s so 2020! Here’s an example of a real avant-garde use of quantum technology that combines Quantum Computers, Quantum Neural Nets (QNN), […]
The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has issued a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) calling for proposals for research in the area of quantum benchmarking. Proposed research should quantify the long-term utility of quantum […]
We previously reported on Fujitsu’s intent to partner with Riken to research superconducting quantum computers and this week they have announced the formal launch of the project. The project is now called the RIKEN RQC […]
Although universal fault-tolerant quantum computers – with millions of physical quantum bits (or qubits) – may be a decade or two away, quantum computing research continues apace. It has been hypothesized that quantum computers will […]
