A Quantum Internet {For Europe}
A Quantum Internet {For Europe} Or is it ARPANET, albeit the quantum version? Plans, at least conceptually, have been developed in part with researchers at Delft University, to create a quantum network. Though focused on connecting four cities in the Netherlands, the project is looking to expand continent-wide. The expanded project, dubbed, the “Quantum Internet […]
“Single Photon based Quantum Technologies”
“Single Photon based Quantum Technologies” The final days of May 2018 will see an international symposium on “Single Photon based Quantum Technologies”. Topics to be discussed will focus on quantum technologies utilizing single photons as their basis. Goes to show the scientists and research teams are forging ahead to make quantum computing a reality. More […]
Image of a Single Strontium Atom; Quantum Applications
Image of a Single Strontium Atom; Quantum Applications The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) has awarded Mr. David Nadlinger the top prize in the annual science photgoraphy competition. The full size image, titled “Single Atom in an Ion Trap”, clearly shows the pale blue dot of a single, positively-charged strontium atom, suspended by […]
Using Your Fridge To Cool Quantum Devices
Using Your Fridge To Cool Quantum Devices Noise. Heat is considered noise in the quantum computing arena. A new method to mitigate the issue has been theoretically proven to work. Akin to using a ‘fridge’, this group of physicists has a new method to control heat flow; a sort of insulation. The Institute of Science […]
Changing The World @ 100 Qubits
Changing The World @ 100 Qubits The advent of quantum computing with practical applications has gained pace. A few years back quantum supremacy was envisioned at 10 years out; now, five years out. Its time for the cyber security world to get into shape, and fast; though, we could have it all wrong. This report […]
Making Quantum Error Correction Feasible
Making Quantum Error Correction Feasible Error correction is critical to making quantum computing succeed. Recent U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) awards have put $1.3M (USD) into the coffers of researchers. Texas A & M is fortunate to have the research team and the funding to work on one of the “best bets” to reducing errors […]
Two Words: Potential and Primitive
Two Words: Potential and Primitive What does it take to build a quantum computing company startup? There are many angles and obstacles. But the technology is primitive and the potential is enormous. How far out is any real return on investment? 5, 10, 15 years or more? How does a quantum startup compete against Big […]
Silicon Quantum Chip Race…
Silicon Quantum Chip Race… Scientists at Delft University of Technology strengthened quantum information science with recent research demonstrating the spin of an electron being married to a photon via a silicon quantum chip. Being able to connect qubits on a silicon chip will permit large numbers of these quantum bits to conduct parallel computing. Ongoing […]
Quantum-apocalypse is Coming…or Not…
Quantum-apocalypse is Coming…or Not… Simulating quantum loads, developing qubit test chips, and computing options other than 1 or 0, the power of the quantum computer is maybe a decade away. The implications to cybersecurity are now being considered. Take a look at this article for some thought provoking ideas regarding quantum security… This article is […]
Quantum Slack Chat
Quantum Slack Chat If you don’t understand the very basic premise of secure quantum communication, this piece will help you along in your understanding. It is also a reminder of the nascent state quantum encryption and secure quantum communication are in. This report is found clicking here…
