One of the questions we hear occasionally asked at various quantum conferences is the following: If someone were to place online tomorrow a 1 Million qubit quantum computer, would anyone be able to start using […]
As its name suggests, dark matter — material which makes up about 85% of the mass in the universe — emits no light, eluding easy detection. Its properties, too, remain fairly obscure. Now, a theoretical […]
Quantum computing and quantum sensing have the potential to be vastly more powerful than their classical counterparts. Not only could a fully realized quantum computer take just seconds to solve equations that would take a […]
Laser physicists have built a novel hybrid plasma accelerator. Particle accelerators have become an indispensable tool for studies of the structure of matter at sub-atomic scales, and have important applications in biology and medicine. Click […]
Quantum 5, 465 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-06-02-465 The problem of sampling outputs of quantum circuits has been proposed as a candidate for demonstrating a quantum computational advantage (sometimes referred to as quantum “supremacy”). In this work, we […]
During the ’90s, engineers made major advances in the telecom arena spreading out the network to distances beyond the cities and metropolitan areas. To achieve this scalability factor, they used repeaters, which enhanced attenuated signals […]
For some 30 years, scientists have used superconducting materials to record the tiniest specks of light imaginable—individual photons, or single particles of light. However, these detectors, which consist of ultracold wires only about one-thousandth the […]
Seen through a microscope, the hairy, slipper-shaped aquatic microbe Paramecium bursaria often looks as if it is bursting at the seams with tiny green marbles. Yet the verdant spheres are a different organism altogether: Chlorella, […]
For Ilana Wisby, founding CEO of Oxford Quantum Circuits, the draw to quantum science wasn’t just the entrepreneurial lure of heading up a company in an exciting new technological space. For Wisby, quantum represents an […]
Zapata Computing announced that it will be expanding its footprint with a new legal entity in the UK to supplement its existing offices in Boston, Toronto, and Tokyo. It appears that a key purpose for […]
