Alice & Bob is a French quantum processor startup that is pursuing a superconducting based quantum computer that uses a different type of qubit called a cat qubit. The potential advantage of this approach is […]
Nuclear physicists may have finally pinpointed where in the proton a large fraction of its mass resides. A recent experiment carried out at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility has revealed […]
One of the great episodes in the history of mathematics began on October 23, 1852. In a letter to Sir William Rowan Hamilton, Augustus De Morgan wrote, “A student of mine asked me today to […]
The Indian government announced earlier this week that the country’s first quantum communication network was up and running, according to media reports from India. Ashwini Vaishnaw, the Union Minister for Communications, Electronics, and Information Technology, […]
About: For the AISRF funded project “Quantum-enhanced atomic gravimetry for improved sensing capabilities” the groups of Dr. Sebastian Wüster and Dr. Auditya Sharma at IISER Bhopal are seeking post-doctoral candidates. Please see [https://www.iiserb.ac.in/results#non-teaching-adv] (R&D Adv […]
The Phase 1 STTR award will cover research to develop open-source software that can define, schedule, and executing automatic qubit calibration and benchmarking for quantum processors ranging from tens to hundreds of qubits. Atlantic Quantum […]
By Yuval Boger There is a decent amount of talk about the potential for a quantum winter during which VC investments in quantum computing dry up. This would result in less hype (maybe a good […]
In two new studies, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have greatly improved the efficiency and power output of a series of chip-scale devices that generate laser light at different colors […]
At least six readers have by now sent me the following photo, which was taken in Israel a couple nights ago during the historic street protests against Netanyahu’s attempted putsch: (Update: The photo was also […]
Shooting ions is very different from shooting a gun: By firing highly charged ions onto tiny gold structures, these structures can be modified in technologically interesting ways. Surprisingly, the key is not the force of […]
