But quantum is not just about business advantage… Quantum will also be a major force for good.
In a new study, researchers Claudio Verdozzi from Lund University and Emil Viñas Boström and Angel Rubio from the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter in Hamburg have found a new approach. “In our study, we have theoretically shown how it is possible to meet one of these requirements, that is, how to create magnetic skyrmions in ultra-short time scales using pulses of laser light”, says Claudio Verdozzi, physics researcher at Lund University.
Japan plans to bring into service its first homegrown quantum computer by the end of March next year and have 10 million people using the technology by 2030.
This year, the tech company Intel will deliver its first quantum computing test bed to the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, the host lab for Q-NEXT, a DOE National Quantum Information Science Research Center.
The development of experimental platforms that advance the field of quantum science and technology (QIST) comes with a unique set of advantages and challenges common to any emergent technology. Researchers at Stony Brook University, led by Dominik Schneble, PhD, report the formation of matter-wave polaritons in an optical lattice, an experimental discovery that enables studies of a central QIST paradigm through direct quantum simulation using ultracold atoms. The researchers project that their novel quasiparticles, which mimic strongly interacting photons in materials and devices but circumvent some of the inherent challenges, will benefit the further development of QIST platforms that are poised to transform computing and communication technology.
Research conducted by Princeton University physicists is paving the way for the use of silicon-based technologies in quantum computing, especially as quantum bits – the basic units of quantum computers.
In the life sciences, quantum computing has the promise of transforming R&D processes and advancing drug discovery. Yet, despite recent headlines, widespread understanding of quantum computing in the life sciences is limited.
Sandia National Laboratories, The University of New Mexico and Los Alamos National Laboratory announced the new coalition April 1st at UNM during the Quantum New Mexico Symposium.
Researchers say that consequences can be far-reaching and that the implications of quantum charging can go well beyond electric cars and consumer electronics.
