Giant Wafers Full of Devices Found to be Qubit-Suitable
Industry collaboration leads to important milestone in the creation of a quantum computer One of the obstacles for progress in the quest for a working quantum computer has been that the working devices that go into a quantum computer and perform the actual calculations, the qubits, have hitherto been made by universities and in small […]
It’s All About Control: Scalability of Quantum Computers Gets Closer With QuTech’s Read-Out Development
Reading out qubits like toppling dominoes: a new scalable approach towards the quantum computer Creating a powerful, large-scale quantum computer depends on a clever design such that many qubits (the building block of a quantum computer) can be controlled and read out. Researchers at QuTech, a collaboration between TU Delft and TNO, have invented […]
Quantum Computing Applications Could Benefit From Superconductor Microprocessor: YNU Research
Extremely energy efficient microprocessor developed using superconductors Read More… + Researchers from Yokohama National University in Japan have developed a prototype microprocessor using superconductor devices that are about 80 times more energy efficient than the state-of-the-art semiconductor devices found in the microprocessors of today’s high-performance computing systems. “We are now working towards making improvements in […]

U.S. Scientists Demonstrate 44km Fiber Transmission of Photon Qubits
In terms of the coolness factor, teleportation is like a jump to hyperspace. No matter how you look at it, it’s just fascinating. Because Quantum is Coming. Qubit Fermilab and partners achieve sustained, high-fidelity quantum teleportation A viable quantum internet — a network in which information stored in qubits is shared over long distances through […]
Practical Quantum Networks Make Strides Toward Reality
On high fidelity quantum teleportation for practical quantum networks Figure 1. Instruments of high-fidelity quantum teleportation. Fiber optics cables connect off-the-shelf devices (shown above), as well as those of state-of-the-art R&D (e.g SNSPD’s not shown above) that perform the experiment. Quantum teleportation is a “disembodied” transfer of quantum states from one location to another. It is […]
