Itinerant Magnetism and Superconductivity in Exotic 2D Metals for Next-Generation Quantum Devices

The Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA) pioneers studies to build and co-design the next generation of programmable quantum devices. An interdisciplinary team of scientists from QSA institutions, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), and the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), in collaboration with Los Alamos National Laboratory, conducted a series of experiments with a new type of layered 2D metal finding connections in electronic behavior that might potentially be useful for fabricating complex superconducting quantum processors.

Entanglement Is a Key Component of Quantum Computing and Unlocking Scaling Needed for Quantum Machine Learning

The field of machine learning on quantum computers got a boost from new research removing a potential roadblock to the practical implementation of quantum neural networks. While theorists had previously believed an exponentially large training set would be required to train a quantum neural network, the quantum No-Free-Lunch theorem developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory shows that quantum entanglement eliminates this exponential overhead.

Creating Rank-and-File Photons; and a Quantum Worforce

A team of scientists from France, Germany, and the U.S., are working to develop techniques and materials to produce “indistinguishable photons”. Doing so would permit greater integration into the current high-speed, light-based, computing infrastructure found throughout the globe. This is a necessity to expanding quantum computing, in a practical sense. Other facets to the research include increasing the quantum workforce: “Ultimately, we hope to draw more researchers into this field” the team commented.
