Center for Theoretical Physics professors earn DOE Quantum Information Science Awards
Center for Theoretical Physics professors Daniel Harlow, Aram Harrow, Hong Liu and Jesse Thaler have been named recipients of research awards in the U.S. Department of
Encoding Metamaterials for Quantum Information Processing
Israeli researchers have demonstrated quantum metamaterials are employable in quantum information systems.
Quantum Resistant PKI and Key Management for IoT Devices
More corporations are working on the hard-problems created by the threat of quantum computers to current encryption methods to include PKI and key management and delivery.
Cold-Atom Research Supports Elements of Quantum Computing.
The People’s Friendship University of Russia (RUDN), located in Moscow, engaged scientists from the University of Hamburg to study quantum properties.
Identical Photons Created with Silicon Chips.
University of Maryland researchers have overcome the challenge of creating multiple identical photons.
Qrypt: ORNL’s QRNG
Oak Ridge National Lab’s quantum random number generator is being harnessed by industry. Using an LED, their device produces photons while measuring the quantumness of the produced photons. Qrypt will harness these quantum statistics to produce “unique and unpredictable encryption keys.” Doing so places an exponentially better decryption mitigation method in place lending to greater communication cybersecurity.
Made in China 2025
“Made in China 2025” is China’s initiative to rein as world leader in technology — from telecommunications to artificial intelligence coupled with robots to quantum computing. A key accomplishment has been the over $10B put into their civilian-military quantum computing complex; this is aside from corporate mega-giants Huawei and Alibaba’s ‘commercial’ efforts.
Graphene Holds Tight As Quantum Computer Material
Graphene is being more thoroughly studied for use as a fundamental component to quantum computers.
D-Wave Annealer Chip Producing Results
Finally? D-Wave’s 2048-qubit quantum annealer (quantum computer) has successfully simulated a topological phase transition. Successfully producing their results “is a major step toward reducing the need for time-consuming and expensive physical” R&D. The results of the study validate the D-Wave quantum computer; a fully-programmable, accurate simulator, using quantum bits (qubits) to compute results to complex problems.
