In this long read you’ll find answers to questions such as: What are the distinguishing features of quantum computing and what stage is development at currently? What strategies are employed by corporations and politicians – especially in China – to advance development? Who are the superstars on the research scene? What are they working on and where will there be practical application opportunities for quantum computing…?
The final part of the eight part-series by Mr. Russ Fein, founder of The Quantum Leap. In this work Russ explains quantum advantage and quantum supremacy. These terms, developed within the quantum computing community, attempt to express a quantum computer’s power to some degree. Russ explains this in depth. The Quantum Leap is an up-and-coming blog journaling the race to quantum supremacy. Read the series here at The Qubit Report or find the complete series and more at, Quantumtech.blog.

The US is increasingly anxious about China’s prowess in quantum computing. It’s easy to see why. The nation that’s able to lead the field could redefine the way we live and work, taking computers’ problem-solving ability to another level. Quantum computing will influence everything from the fight against disease, to data security and the distribution of goods – and things we can’t even imagine today.
The Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has issued a final rule adding twenty-seven foreign entities and individuals to the Entity List for engaging in activities that are contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States. The twenty-seven entities and individuals are located in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), Japan, Pakistan and Singapore. One entity based in Russia was added to the Military End-User (MEU) list.
Quantum cryptography Records with Higher-Dimensional Photons Quantum cryptography is one of the most promising quantum technologies of our time: Exactly the same information is generated
Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China and Zhejiang University developed a quantum random number generator (QRNG) that small and low power enough to be portable. It utilizes a photonic IC with optimized real-time postprocessing for extracting randomness from quantum entropy source of vacuum states.
Quantum technology has opened a whole new world of potential advances in secure communications, information technology and high precision sensors. This technology is poised to provide solutions to some of the most pressing challenges in health care, industry and security. Ion beams find application in developing the innovative materials needed for new quantum technologies. “The IAEA is fully engaged with worldwide initiatives in quantum technology,” said Aliz Simon, a nuclear physicist at the IAEA. “Ion beam accelerator techniques offer emerging opportunities to further explore and develop research in quantum technology.”
