Insider Brief SandboxAQ, a spinout from Alphabet, is reportedly seeking a new funding round that could value the quantum-AI software company at $5 billion, according to Bloomberg and TechCrunch reports. The company, led by CEO […]
Yes, he’s the guy from The Elegant Universe book and TV series. Our conversation is 1 hour 40 minutes; as usual I strongly recommend listening at 2x speed. The topics, chosen by Brian, include quantum […]
by Amara Graps Benchmarks for quantum computers are blooming. From the (not serious) Weird Al benchmark, to the (very serious) Quantum Benchmarking Initiative by DARPA, the quantum community has advanced quite a distance in the […]
Physicists have shown that extremely light particles known as axions may occur in large clouds around neutron stars. These axions could form an explanation for the elusive dark matter that cosmologists search for — and […]
A recent study published in Science introduces a novel metric called the V-score, aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of various computational methods in solving ground state problems—critical challenges in quantum computing research. The paper, authored […]
Insider Brief: Researchers from Zhejiang Key Laboratory, Tsinghua University, QuEra Computing and other collaborators have successfully observed long-lived topological time-crystalline order using superconducting qubits on a programmable quantum processor. The team demonstrated the system’s ability […]
Insider Brief: IBM and researchers from 28 other institutions introduced the “V-score,” a new metric published in Science, to benchmark and compare quantum and classical algorithms for solving ground state problems. The V-score measures accuracy […]
Insider Brief IBM’s Quantum Serverless introduces tools to efficiently manage quantum and classical resources across development workflows, enhancing accessibility and efficiency for long-running workloads. It allows developers to dynamically allocate resources like CPUs, GPUs, and […]
Around 2,500 years ago, Babylonian traders in Mesopotamia impressed two slanted wedges into clay tablets. The shapes represented a placeholder digit, squeezed between others, to distinguish numbers such as 50, 505 and 5,005. An elementary […]
Quantum 8, 1502 (2024). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2024-10-18-1502 Quantum machine learning with quantum kernels for classification problems is a growing area of research. Recently, quantum kernel alignment techniques that parameterise the kernel have been developed, allowing the kernel […]
