Arthur Herman: The Quantum Space Race Is Here
[I]t was China that launched the first quantum satellite in 2016, dubbed Micius, and a year later used it to establish how to achieve long-distance QKD communication… So where is the U.S. in all this?
Getting Quantum-Ready for Ongoing Search for Life in Space
Zapata and the University of Hull developed new techniques to extrapolate meaningful data from noisy quantum devices and used it to calculate the ro-vibrational spectrum of hydrogen to obtain results that are comparable with the state-of-the-art classical simulations, as well as the experimental results.

Quantum Technology Space Bound; Will It Survive Space?
Quantum Technology Space Bound; Will It Survive Space? Deploying technology in space. newelectronics. When selecting and using electronic components in space they will need to be reliable and capable of surviving the harsh conditions they’ll experience over an extended period of time. In space components need to be able to overcome vibration imposed by the […]
India’s Road-map to a Quantum Computer
India’s Road-map to a Quantum Computer. India’s Department of Science and Technology is developing the nation’s first quantum computer. The program, Quantum-Enabled Science & Technology (QuEST), is set to invest $11.3M to build a quantum computer and to fund related research. Once this initial phase is completed, “…the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Defence Research and […]
