Reducing Monte Carlo Simulations to Near-real Time. IBM has revealed research results for quantum computing protocols processing Monte Carlo calculations. Typically, when using Monte Carlo simulations
Missing Link for Quantum Dots Found: Quantum Memory. Researchers at the University of Cambridge, St. John’s College, have discovered a method to control electron interaction
Argonne National Laboratory: Reducing Quantum Noise. Many current quantum information applications suffer from decoherence. Decoherence is the loss of quantum information due to environmental noise
Rigetti Funded Research Yields High-fidelity, Coherence-limited Sweet Spot. Research funded by quantum computer leader Rigetti has demonstrated a high-fidelity, coherence-limited, parametrically-activated, two-qubit gate on a multi-qubit
Though quantum computers have yet to become reality, there are a number of basic facts one should understand…
French and Swiss research teams have tested varying amplitude and direction of magnetic fields around atoms of the rare earth element, Ytterbium. The teams have found a “magic point” which permits a thousand-fold increase in coherence. Such a discovery helps move along the concept of building quantum computing networks with the aid of quantum repeaters. High-coherence (longevity) is needed to ensure signals sent are alive for the entire distance to the receiver, or the next repeater as the case may be.
Tokyo Institute of Technology researchers have matched theory to observation and thus have achieved a “comprehensive understanding of the coherent control of coherent optical phonons.” The usefulness of which is geared toward quantum computing memory systems as well as materials science and superconductivity.
D-Wave delivered status of its 4,000 qubit system in production; IBM reinforced the notion of maximizing potential through delivery of the key quantum qualities: coherence, connectivity, and controllability. Many other topics and meetings were held.
At present, large scale quantum computing is held back due to lack of needed scale in entangling particles. This could be a valuable step in the large scale quantum computing direction.
