Insider Brief Los Alamos National Laboratory has established a new Center for Quantum Computing to consolidate its quantum research capabilities across national security, algorithms, computer science, and workforce development. The center will bring together up […]
The trajectory of a storm, the evolution of stock prices, the spread of disease — mathematicians can describe any phenomenon that changes in time or space using what are known as partial differential equations. But […]
Quantum computers struggle because their qubits are incredibly easy to disrupt, especially during calculations. A new experiment shows how to perform quantum operations while continuously fixing errors, rather than pausing protection to compute. The team […]
Quantum 10, 1997 (2026). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2026-02-06-1997 We describe an efficient, fully fault-tolerant implementation of Measurement-Based Quantum Computation (MBQC) in the 3D cluster state. The two key novelties are (i) the introduction of a lattice defect in […]
Quantum 10, 1996 (2026). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2026-02-06-1996 This work shows that minimizing the depth of a quantum circuit composed of commuting operations reduces to a vertex coloring problem on an appropriately constructed graph, where gates correspond to […]
Insider Brief The QUICHE project is a newly funded UK–Germany collaboration aiming to integrate quantum computing workflows directly into the widely used ORCA quantum chemistry software. Backed by Innovate UK and Germany’s ZIM programme, the […]
Insider Brief Chinese researchers reported advances that move quantum communication closer to practical networks, combining longer-lived quantum memory with record-setting demonstrations of ultra-secure key distribution over fiber. The team generated device-independent quantum encryption keys over […]
Insider Brief Infleqtion, in collaboration with the University of Chicago and MIT, has advanced to Phase 3 of the Wellcome Leap Quantum for Bio (Q4Bio) Challenge to demonstrate quantum-enabled biomarker discovery for oncology. The team […]
Insider Brief A collaborative research project involving Defence Trailblazer, QuantX Labs, and the University of Adelaide has concluded with advances in optical atomic clock technologies and progress toward commercial deployment. The project evaluated and demonstrated […]
Physicists have watched a quantum fluid do something once thought almost impossible: stop moving. In experiments with ultra-thin graphene, researchers observed a superfluid—normally defined by its endless, frictionless flow—freeze into a strange new state that […]
