What’s Next for Time Crystals?
UC Berkeley physicist Norman Yao first described five years ago how to make a time crystal — a new form of matter whose patterns repeat in time instead of space. Unlike crystals of emerald or ruby, however, those time crystals existed for only a fraction of a second.
Researchers at the Joint Quantum Institute Develop Quantum Protocol Accelerating Quantum Tasks to Theoretical Speed Limits
New Approach to Information Transfer Reaches Quantum Speed Limit In a new quantum protocol, groups of quantum entangled qubits (red dots) recruit more qubits (blue dots) at each step to help rapidly move information from one spot to another. Since more qubits are involved at each step, the protocol creates a snowball effect that achieves […]
Predicting ‘Things’ and Training Neural Networks With Quantum Algorithms a Focus of FSU
FSU researchers enhance quantum machine learning algorithms William Oates, the Cummins Inc. Professor in Mechanical Engineering and chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering (Image Credit: FAMU-FSU College of Engineering/Mark Wallheisier). A Florida State University professor’s research could help quantum computing fulfill its promise as a powerful computational […]
QuTech Researcher Funded to Study Electron Manipulation to Further Topological Quantum Materials
NWO Veni Grant for Filip Malinowski: bringing new tools for topological quantum computing The Dutch Research Council (NWO) has awarded an NWO Veni Grant to Filip Malinowski. The grant (250 thousand euros for a three-year program) will allow him to use a new kind of sensor to further uncover the properties of so-called topological materials, […]
U.S. Developing ‘Qubit Collaboratory’ to Push the Edge of Qubit Technology
NSA’s Laboratory for Physical Sciences Announces First-Ever Qubit Collaboratory The quantum world hosts a rich variety of physics that could enable functionality far beyond what traditional technologies can achieve. By probing and manipulating phenomena that occur at the single particle scale, the emerging field of quantum information science (QIS) aims to create new forms of […]
Industry Study: Integrating Wave Functions is Good, But the Quantum Workforce Needs Qubit-Building Physicists
Hands-On Lab Skills Key for Quantum Jobs Read More… + Quantum physics courses need updating, according to researchers who interviewed representatives from 21 US companies that specialize in designing and building technologies for quantum applications [1]. The interviews suggest that those graduating with bachelor’s degrees in physics may lack the skills they need to enter […]
So When Will We Get a Quantum Computer? 5 Years? 30 Years? 1,000 Qubits? 100,000 Qubits?

Will We Ever Get Quantum Computers? Read More… + Consider D-Wave Systems. They’ve been trying to build a QC for twenty years, and indeed do have products more or less on the market, including, it’s claimed, one of 1024 q-bits. But there’s a lot of controversy about whether their machines are either quantum computers at […]
Defining a Quantum Computer’s Power: Is Quantum Volume the Right Measure?
![](https://posts.thequbitreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/IonQ-Logo-1024x358.png)
Measuring Progress in the ‘Noisy’ Era of Quantum Computing Read More… + Since IBM began publicizing the term more starting in late 2019, quantum volume has come up a number of times in the quantum computing papers and press releases of IBM and other companies such as Honeywell. But there is already at least one […]
