It’s All About Control! Full Control of a Six-Qubit Quantum Processor in Silicon Announced
Researchers of QDNL’s community member QuTech have engineered a record number of six, silicon-based, spin qubits in a fully interoperable array. These advances will contribute to a scalable quantum computer based on silicon.
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.
Though Difficult and Esoteric, QuTech Creates Time Crystals via Quantum Simulation
Interesting science through the use of quantum simulations. However, the ‘so what?’ is not apparent. So now what? Read it from the source at the link, below. Because Quantum Is Coming. Qubit Time Crystal Created Inside A Quantum Computer Read More… + Back in 2012, the Nobel prize-winning physicist Frank Wilczek and his colleague Al […]
Withstanding Cold, Addressing the Quantum Bits Issue; QuTech and Intel May Have the Solution
Intel and QuTech Demonstrate Advances in Solving Quantum Interconnect Bottlenecks A cryogenic controller chip opens the door to solving the ‘wiring bottleneck’ and subsequently to realize a fully integrated, scalable quantum computer. A specially designed chip to control qubits can operate at extremely low temperatures, and opens the door to solving the ‘wiring bottleneck’. Researchers […]
TU Delft: Bob Now Physically Connects to Alice (and Charlie?) to Create Quantum Network
Dutch researchers establish the first entanglement-based quantum network A team of researchers from QuTech in the Netherlands reports realization of the first multi-node quantum network, connecting three quantum processors. In addition, they achieved a proof-of-principle demonstration of key quantum network protocols. Their findings mark an important milestone towards the future quantum internet and have now […]
TU Delft: Retraction Nature Article Quantized Majorana Conductance
Retraction Nature article Quantized Majorana conductance The authors of the 2018 article Quantized Majorana conductance have retracted this article. The authors were alerted to problems by two scientists in the same research area and then went on to re-examine their earlier measurements. In doing so, they found that the main conclusion had not been adequately substantiated. As […]
Europe’s New Consortium Goal: Scaling Silicon Quantum Technologies
New EU Quantum Flagship consortium launches a project on silicon spin qubits as a platform for large-scale quantum computing The QLSI project brings together 19 top European groups to focus on developing highly scalable quantum processors in silicon, and marks a recent addition to the EU’s Quantum Flagship a 10-year, €1 Billion R&D initiative launched […]
Fighting Back: 10 miliKelvins Will Destroy Your Qubits
Cooling quantum computers Read More… + To keep systems in a quantum state, designers have to minimize the risk of anything disrupting the fragile position. The slightest temperature increase can mean that atoms and molecules move around too much, potentially causing a quantum bit (qubit)’s voltage to spike, and flip from one quantum state to […]
It’s All About Control: Scalability of Quantum Computers Gets Closer With QuTech’s Read-Out Development
Reading out qubits like toppling dominoes: a new scalable approach towards the quantum computer Creating a powerful, large-scale quantum computer depends on a clever design such that many qubits (the building block of a quantum computer) can be controlled and read out. Researchers at QuTech, a collaboration between TU Delft and TNO, have invented […]
4.5M Euro Grant Hefted to Quantum Inspire Consortium to Monetize Quantum Computing
NWA funding for taking quantum technology to the public + The Quantum Inspire consortium has received a 4.5 million euro grant from the Dutch Research Council (NWO) to bring quantum technology closer to potential users. “We hope that different people from all parts of society will interact with Quantum Inspire, so that we can work […]
