U.S. MagLab Research Identifies Quantum Spin Liquid as Potential Quantum Computing Component

Scientists find evidence of exotic state of matter in candidate material for quantum computers An illustration of the crystal structure of ruthenium trichloride showing the simple honeycomb lattice of ruthenium ions and chlorine ions. The twisted octahedra formed by chlorine around the electron spin of each ruthenium atom are mirror images of each other. This […]

Michigan State University Granted $750K to Develop Quantum Algorithms

Bringing the promise of quantum computing to nuclear physics Quantum mechanics, the physics of atoms and subatomic particles, can be strange, especially compared to the everyday physics of Isaac Newton’s falling apples. But this unusual science is enabling researchers to develop new ideas and tools, including quantum computers, that can help demystify the quantum realm […]

Implementing LANL Algorithm Will Fast Forward Your Qubits

New algorithm could unleash the power of quantum computers A new algorithm that fast forwards simulations could bring greater use ability to current and near-term quantum computers, opening the way for applications to run past strict time limits that hamper many quantum calculations. “Quantum computers have a limited time to perform calculations before their useful […]
