When the first black hole collision was detected in 2015, it was a watershed moment in the history of astronomy. With gravitational waves, astronomers were observing the universe in an entirely new way. But this […]
Application: Candidates are welcome to send their CV to Ebler.Daniel@huawei.com Position: Researcher / Senior Researcher (Quantum Optimization, Quantum Computation, Quantum Machine Learning, Quantum Networks) Location: Science Park, Hong Kong SAR Responsibilities: Researcher / Senior Researcher […]
By Andre Saraiva, UNSW Noise is a qubit killer. This is the main challenge faced by quantum hardware makers and the reason why Microsoft decided to chase topological particles called Majoranas for their qubits, instead […]
Strangeworks has announced three initiatives with the goals of helping to develop a global quantum workforce, humanize access to quantum computing and streamline existing quantum production workflows. Together these initiatives work to accelerate the development […]
We offer a 2-years post-doctoral position for a motivated researcher to join our work on spin qubits in silicon carbide (SiC). Colour centres in SiC have recently be shown to uniquely combine excellent spin properties […]
Note: To get myself into the spirit of writing this post, tonight I watched the 2019 movie Mr. Jones, about the true story of the coverup of Stalin’s 1932-3 mass famine by New York Times […]
Quantum 5, 397 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-02-15-397 Quantum communication technologies show great promise for applications ranging from the secure transmission of secret messages to distributed quantum computing. Due to fiber losses, long-distance quantum communication requires the use […]
Quantum 5, 396 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-02-15-396 For universal quantum computation, a major challenge to overcome for practical implementation is the large amount of resources required for fault-tolerant quantum information processing. An important aspect is implementing arbitrary […]
In March 2018, we reported on a paper from Microsoft and its partners in Nature magazine that they had found evidence of the existence of the Majorana quasiparticle. Now, a new preprint has been published […]
Updates (Feb. 14, 2021): Scott Alexander Siskind responds here. Last night, it occurred to me that despite how disjointed it feels, the New York Times piece does have a central thesis: namely, that rationalism is […]
