We are now commencing the second quantum revolution when engineering is needed to develop future quantum systems! With multiple 2019 announcements related to quantum computing, the path to a universal quantum computer has become a bit easier. But the question is still the same: when will universal...
Currently, organizations are mainly usingfive qubit technologiesin their attempts to build a scalable, universal quantum computer. These technologies are photonic networks, superconducting circuits, spin qubits, neutral atoms, and trapped ions (exhibit). ...
However, today's quantum computers operate at a much smaller scale than is theoretically possible, largely because their quantum properties are prone to collapse from interference by "noise," such as vibration or radiation. Thus, the current stage of quantum technology is callednoisy intermediate-sca...
When quantum computers become powerful enough, they could theoretically crack the encryption algorithms that keep us safe. The race is on to find new ones.
What Are Quantum Networks? Today’s internet connects us globally. It sends packets of information that carry our communications in classical signals – sent by bursts of light through optical fibers, electrically through copper wire, or by microwaves to make wireless connections. It is fast and ...
Quantum metamaterials are also making waves in the world of photonics. They enable the development of advanced devices that work with light and quantum states in new ways. This includes creating better quantum light sources and detectors, which are essential for various quantum technologies. By fine...
usable sizes introduces engineering difficulties, as maintaining quantum states in larger, commercially viable batteries is complex. Additionally, efficiently converting stored quantum energy into usable electrical energy remains a challenge, necessitating highly efficient processes to rival existing technologies....
Learn about the history of quantum control and how it accelerates the path to useful quantum technologies, such as quantum computers, firmware, and sensing.
Harnessing the immense power of quantum could appear to be a distant fantasy – the stuff of science fiction - a world of potential, but with little clarity of how it could be realistically used. But we argue that with an open mind and a clear reason to
A qubit or quantum bit is the quantum mechanical counterpart to the classical bit, and the basic unit of calculation in quantum computers. While bits are technically based on charges in electronic circuits, quantum computing currently uses different variants for quantum bits. Qubits can consist of...
