QuEra Computing Projects Advance to Phase Two of Quantum for Bio Challenge

QuEra Computing has announced that all three of its research projects have progressed to Phase Two of Wellcome Leap’s Quantum for Bio Challenge. These projects focus on developing quantum computing applications for healthcare and biology, highlighting QuEra’s role in complex scientific fields. Phase Two involves large-scale simulations using classical high-performance computing to validate quantum algorithms.

Physicists Demonstrate Exotic Superconductivity With Possible Implications for Quantum Computing

MIT physicists and colleagues have demonstrated an exotic form of superconductivity in a new material the team synthesized only about a year ago. Although predicted in the 1960s, until now this type of superconductivity has proven difficult to stabilize. Further, the scientists found that the same material can potentially be manipulated to exhibit yet another, equally exotic form of superconductivity.

Quantum Imaging, Quantum Work Force, Quantum Biology Research, all From U.S. Taxpayers’ $25M

As part of a nationwide initiative to boost research in quantum science, the National Science Foundation will establish a $25 million institute in Chicago to investigate quantum sensing for biology and train the quantum workforce. Headquartered at the University of Chicago and in partnership with Chicago State University, the University of Illinois at Chicago and Harvard University, the institute will be funded for five years.

The Economist S&T: Physics Seeks the Future

Whatever the causes of these two results, they do show that there is something out there which established explanations cannot account for. Similarly unexplained anomalies were starting points for both quantum theory and relativity. It looks possible, therefore, that what has seemed one of physics’s darkest periods is about to brighten into a new morning.
