Researchers used the 2D material hexagonal boron nitride to build much smaller capacitors for superconducting qubits, enabling them to shrink the footprint of a qubit by two orders of magnitude without sacrificing performance. Click to […]
Our sun is getting brighter. If you could travel back in time to the dawn of the solar system 4.5 billion years ago, you’d find a star that was about 30% dimmer than it is […]
Like the transistors in a classical computer, superconducting qubits are the building blocks of a quantum computer. While engineers have been able to shrink transistors to nanometer scales, however, superconducting qubits are still measured in […]
As temperature decreases, so does the electrical resistance of metals—most of the time. In metal with magnetic impurities, electrical resistance can increase as the temperature drops due to a strange phenomenon called the Kondo effect. […]
26 January 2022 PRESS RELEASE – BQPhy™ is the world’s first Quantum-powered Simulations-as-a-Service (Q-SaaS) CAE software suite. BQPhy suite will be available for early access in Q2 of 2022. BosonQ Psi (BQP) announced the […]
Today, most quantum software is written at the gate level, performed by specifying the interconnection between qubits and quantum gates. But as quantum computers become more powerful and complex – reaching 100’s or 1000’s of […]
Quantum 6, 635 (2022). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2022-01-27-635 The quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) is a near-term hybrid algorithm intended to solve combinatorial optimization problems, such as MaxCut. QAOA can be made to mimic an adiabatic schedule, and […]
Quantum 6, 634 (2022). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2022-01-27-634 Parallel operations in conventional computing have proven to be an essential tool for efficient and practical computation, and the story is not different for quantum computing. Indeed, there exists a […]
In the Theory of Cold Atoms group of Prof. Uwe R. Fischer at Seoul National University, a Postdoc position is open in the field of quantum simulations of curved spacetimes (aka analogue gravity). Previously demonstrated […]
By Maria Lepskaya (Runa Capital), Igor Kotua (Runa Capital) and Ivan Khrapach (Russian Quantum Center)An abbreviated version of this article was previously published on TechCrunch. This is the full version. Preamble “The industrial infatuation with […]
