Helping Japan Reach the Frontiers of Quantum Technology Research
Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology has launched the OIST Center for Quantum Technologies (OQT). The center will drive research and innovation for the Quantum Technology International Collaboration Hub.
This On-Chip Time-Lens Generates Ultrafast Pulses, Could Make Its Way to Quantum Networking
An on-chip femtosecond pulse source would unlock new applications in quantum and optical computing, astronomy, optical communications and beyond. However, it’s been a challenge to integrate tunable and highly efficient pulsed lasers onto chips.
Downer: Quantum – Are We There Yet? No.
About the only thing really agreed upon was quantum computing remains very young and that there has been a tremendous amount of hype surrounding it.
A Sobering Reminder of Where We Currently Stand
[R]eluctance to accept that practical quantum computing has arrived presumably stems from the question of whether it can do anything truly useful yet. Sure, one can construct a problem that is very hard for a classical device but ideally suited to a quantum computer and then demonstrate that only a few dozen qubits may be enough to achieve ‘supremacy’. But how helpful is that in the proverbial real world?
My Qubits Are Better Than Your Qubits
Today, we are still in the early stages of quantum computing so it’s hard to believe we may someday need to make these kinds of choices: which type of qubit (quantum bit) is right for which job?
Dell Technologies’ Angle: Hybrid Classical-Quantum Computing
Dell is creating the building blocks to assimilate quantum computers into conventional IT infrastructures as it opens datacenters to new types of accelerated computers.
Prototype Unveiled of the UK’s First Commercial Neutral Atom Quantum System
Glasgow-based M Squared has revealed a prototype of the UK’s first commercial neutral atom quantum computer.
Get Smart! Quantum Networks and Quantum Repeaters: An Illustrated Intro
In this blogpost, [the authors] explain basic principles and use cases of quantum networks while explaining how a quantum repeater (a key piece of quantum network infrastructure) works…
Pearl and Snow Connected to Bring Supercomputing and Quantum Computing Together
VTT’s quantum computer HELMI (“Pearl”) has been connected with the pan-European supercomputer LUMI (“Snow”), hosted by CSC – IT Center for Science.
