It’s been almost impossible to get reliable information this week, but here’s what my sources are telling me: There is still a complete freeze on money being disbursed from the US National Science Foundation. Well, […]
Skyrmions are nanometer- to micrometer-sized magnetic whirls that exhibit particle-like properties and can be moved efficiently by electrical currents. These properties make skyrmions an excellent system for new types of data storage or computers. However, […]
Researchers have demonstrated a new, unsupervised machine learning approach to find new patterns in the auxiliary channel data of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. Click to rate this post! [Total: 0 Average: 0]You have already […]
There’s an old saying that when you come to a fork in the road, you should take it. For decades, scientists have treated photonic and atomic approaches to quantum computing as that fork in the […]
A team of physicists and engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered a new way to measure the orientation of magnetic fields using what may be the tiniest compasses around—atoms. Click to rate […]
Britain and Türkiye to Deepen Scientific Collaboration, Including Focus on Quantum Technologies0 (0)
Insider Brief: Britain and Türkiye will launch their first Science and Innovation Week in 2025, bringing together researchers to collaborate on quantum technologies, AI, cancer treatment, and sustainable construction. The partnership builds on existing research […]
Insider Brief: Poland is advancing the development of a military quantum computer, with completion expected by the end of the year, according to the Cyberspace Defense Forces. A consortium led by the Warsaw University of […]
Quantum 9, 1618 (2025). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2025-01-30-1618 Unlike the surface code, quantum low-density parity-check (QLDPC) codes can have a finite encoding rate, potentially lowering the error correction overhead. However, finite-rate QLDPC codes have nonlocal stabilizers, making it […]
Quantum 9, 1617 (2025). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2025-01-30-1617 Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) hold much promise but face the challenge of exponentially small gradients. Unmitigated, this barren plateau (BP) phenomenon leads to an exponential training overhead for VQAs. Perhaps […]
Insider Brief: Riverlane appoints Liz Durst as VP of QEC Community to lead efforts in quantum error correction (QEC) and build a global developer community. Durst previously led the development of IBM’s Qiskit, which now […]
