Here, as promised in my last post, is a written version of the talk I delivered a couple weeks ago at MindFest in Florida, entitled “The Problem of Human Specialness in the Age of AI.” […]
Insider Brief Citi Innovation Labs, Classiq and AWS partnered to explore the use of quantum algorithms for complex financial problems. Specifically, the teams examined portfolio optimization. Portfolio optimization involves finding the optimal asset mix to […]
Insider Brief Diraq announced the successful completion of a Series A-2 capital raise of USD $15 million. The round was led by Quantonation and with participation from Higgins Family Investments and the University of New […]
Quantum technology could outperform conventional computers on some advanced optimization and computational tasks. In recent years, physicists have been working to identify new strategies to create quantum systems and promising qubits (i.e., basic units of […]
Quantum 8, 1251 (2024). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2024-02-12-1251 A general quantum circuit can be simulated classically in exponential time. If it has a planar layout, then a tensor-network contraction algorithm due to Markov and Shi has a runtime […]
Semiconductors are ubiquitous in modern technology, working to either enable or prevent the flow of electricity. In order to understand the potential of two-dimensional semiconductors for future computer and photovoltaic technologies, researchers from the Universities […]
Quantum 8, 1250 (2024). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2024-02-12-1250 One of the primary objectives in the field of quantum state learning is to develop algorithms that are time-efficient for learning states generated from quantum circuits. Earlier investigations have demonstrated […]
The Polytechnic University of Bari (Italy) is hiring a postdoctoral researcher in quantum information theory. We welcome applications from motivated candidates with track-record in any area of quantum information theory, including mathematical and foundational aspects, […]
Quantum 8, 1249 (2024). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2024-02-12-1249 Traditional stabilizer codes operate over prime power local-dimensions. In this work we extend the stabilizer formalism using the local-dimension-invariant setting to import stabilizer codes from these standard local-dimensions to other […]
Atomic clocks are a class of clocks that leverage resonance frequencies of atoms to keep time with high precision. While these clocks have become increasingly advanced and accurate over the years, existing versions might not […]
