Bridging the Gap Between the End of Moore’s Law and Quantum Computers
Engineers Boost Potential for Creating Successor to Shrinking Transistors Computers and similar electronic devices have gotten faster and smaller over the decades as computer-chip makers have learned how to shrink individual transistors, the tiny electrical switches that convey digital information.Scientists’ pursuit of the smallest possible transistor has allowed more of them to be packed […]
Ultra-Quantum Matter research gets $8 million boost
MIT professors Senthil Todadri and Xiao-Gang Wen are members of the newly established Simons Collaboration on Ultra-Quantum Matter. The effort, funded by the Simons Foundation, is an $8 million four-year award, renewable for three additional years, and will support theoretical physics research across 12 institutions, including MIT. The science of the collaboration is based on a […]

OP Ed: (Artificial Intelligence + Quantum Computing) * IBM = Living in Amazing Times
IBM continues to show unanticipated progress towards what will become a Quantum backed AI Excerpts and salient points ~ + IBM has the largest public Quantum effort and arguably has the lead in Quantum Computing development though companies like Alphabet, Intel, and Microsoft are accelerating their own efforts in this area. + Recent progress in […]
Increasing Quantum Measurements by 30% [With This One Simple Trick]
Researchers break quantum limit in the precision of force and position measurements Researchers of the Schliesser Lab at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, have pushed the precision of force and position measurements into a new regime. Their experiment is the first to surpass the so-called “Standard Quantum Limit,” or SQL, which arises in […]
U.S. Air Force Tests Quantum Communication; Quantum Key Distribution
Air Force Research Laboratory demonstrates world’s first daytime free-space quantum communication enabled by adaptive optics. The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Starfire Optical Range (SOR) recently demonstrated quantum communication in daylight under conditions representative of space-to-Earth satellite links. “This is the world’s first such demonstration, integrating quantum communication with a novel filtering technique enabled by […]
Still Don’t Understand Quantum Computing? Step Back to 2014…
Still Don’t Understand Quantum Computing? Step Back to 2014… Attempting to understand quantum mechanics is very difficult, if not impossible, due to our lack of effort to understand “hard stuff.” You can’t see it, you can’t smell it, but for billions of dollars, governments, academia, and commercial entities will tell you quantum is coming under […]
Two-Cavity System Generates High-Quality Single Photons Efficiently
Two-Cavity System Generates High-Quality Single Photons Efficiently A new dual-cavity design for a quantum emitter, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), emits more high-quality single photons for carrying quantum information at room temperature than existing methods. The two-cavity system could make the development of quantum computers more practical. MIT researchers have designed a new […]
Single-Molecule Magnets: Magnetic Memory Storage, Quantum Memory Storage
Moving the Needle On Nanoscale Imaging with Single-Molecule Magnets (American Association for the Advancement of Science) Amid intense research focus on magnetic single atoms and molecules – which could serve as the smallest possible memory elements in quantum computing – researchers report creating a sensor capable of measuring and imaging magnetic structures and interactions at […]
Quality Quantum Measurements Depend on Imperfection and Noise
New Insights into Quantum Measurements As reported in Physical Review Letters, Dr Paul Skrzypczyk and Professor Noah Linden looked at the way in which we gain information about the world at the quantum scale through the process of measurement. This work has been selected as an Editor’s Suggestion “due to its particular importance, innovation, and […]
