Diagram of a distance‑7 rotated surface code with 97 physical qubits (49 data qubits + 48 measurement qubits) modelled by the team. Grey nodes are data qubits; labeled circles are ancillas measuring X- or Z-type […]
Comparison of logical quantum resources (number of logical qubits and Toffoli gates) required to break 256-bit ECDLP for the secp256k1 curve, as reported by various prior works. Credit: Google Quantum AI whitepaper. By Mohamed Abdel-Kareem […]
Detecting a single particle of light is hard; detecting a single microwave photon is even harder. Microwave photons, the tiny packets of electromagnetic radiation used in current technologies like Wi-Fi and radar, carry far less […]
Insider Brief Palm Beach State College is establishing a Quantum Innovation Center, a transformative hub for education, applied research, industry collaboration and workforce development designed to prepare a new class of technicians and skilled professionals […]
Can a handful of atoms outperform a much larger digital neural network on a real-world task? The answer may be yes. In a study published in Physical Review Letters, a team led by Prof. Peng […]
Some 30 years ago, the mathematician Peter Shor took a niche physics project — the dream of building a computer based on the counterintuitive rules of quantum mechanics — and shook the world. Shor worked […]
One of the greatest mysteries of modern physics, the “black hole information paradox,” might have finally found an elegant solution, and the answer could also reveal the origins of the mass of fundamental particles. Click […]
Quantum states are notoriously fragile, and can be destroyed simply through interactions, measurements, and exposure to their surrounding environments. In a new theoretical study published in Physical Review X, Rohan Mittal and colleagues at the […]
Insider Brief SpinQ Technology raised 600 million yuan — about $83 million USD — in a Series C+ round, bringing its total Series C funding to nearly 1 billion yuan in three months to accelerate […]
Insider Brief Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is leading a new industry coalition and committing $150 million to accelerate Bitcoin’s transition to quantum-resistant cryptography following research highlighting potential vulnerabilities. The initiative focuses on implementing hash-based Winternitz […]
