Research Suggests Viable Use of Silicon Technology as Alternative to Superconducting or Trapped Ion Quantum Computers
Research conducted by Princeton University physicists is paving the way for the use of silicon-based technologies in quantum computing, especially as quantum bits – the basic units of quantum computers.
Magnetic Interactions Could Point To Miniaturizing Quantum Devices
In new research from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, scientists have achieved efficient quantum coupling between two distant magnetic devices, which can host a certain type of magnetic excitations called magnons. These excitations happen when an electric current generates a magnetic field. Coupling allows magnons to exchange energy and information. This kind of coupling may be useful for creating new quantum information technology devices.
Physicists Succeed in Controlling Dark States in Superconducting Quantum Bits
The concept developed by the Innsbruck physicists to control dark states can in principle be implemented not only with superconducting quantum bits, but also on other technological platforms.
Event Horizons Are Tunable Factories of Quantum Entanglement
LSU physicists have leveraged quantum information theory techniques to reveal a mechanism for amplifying, or “stimulating,” the production of entanglement in the Hawking effect in a controlled manner. Furthermore, these scientists propose a protocol for testing this idea in the laboratory using artificially produced event horizons.
Entanglement Is a Key Component of Quantum Computing and Unlocking Scaling Needed for Quantum Machine Learning
The field of machine learning on quantum computers got a boost from new research removing a potential roadblock to the practical implementation of quantum neural networks. While theorists had previously believed an exponentially large training set would be required to train a quantum neural network, the quantum No-Free-Lunch theorem developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory shows that quantum entanglement eliminates this exponential overhead.
Breakthrough Using Common Material Could Pave Way for New Quantum Technologies
Quantum science holds promise for many technological applications, such as building hackerproof communication networks or quantum computers that could accelerate new drug discovery. These applications require a quantum version of a computer bit, known as a qubit, that stores quantum information.

A Dose of Reality? Quantum Profits Unlikely to “Pop” Through 2027
We found this analysis from The Register to be simple, short, and to-the-point. It’s in parallel with what we are beginning to see. From comments left by readers, one strikes us over and over: “That’s still a lot of people paying a lot of money for something that doesn’t work now, and still wont work in 2027” – druck. We’re not sure what cheek this punch landed on. Perhaps it was right on the chin. We recommend the full article at the link below. Because Quantum is Coming. Qubit
