Quantum computing is a devilishly complex technology, with many technical hurdles impacting its development. Of these challenges two critical issues stand out: miniaturization and qubit quality.IBM has adopted the superconducting qubit roadmap of reaching a 1,121-qubit processor by 2023, leading to the expectation that 1,000 qubits with today’s qubit form…

The 2x Gambit: IBM Tech Doubles Qubit Effectiveness

Using a new technique known as "entanglement forging," IBM researchers say they can halve the amount of quantum computing resources needed to run simulations, a new study finds. The nearest-term applications for quantum computers may be chemistry and physics simulations—for instance, simulating molecules to investigate novel battery designs or discover…

Copy of Terahertz Lasers Are About to Have a Moment

Despite lurking between microwaves and infrared, terahertz radiation is notoriously difficult to tap into for applications because of its peculiar physics. Over the past few decades, frequency tunable sources across this 0.3- to 3-terahertz range of the electromagnetic spectrum have remained elusive to researchers.“Electronic sources [of radiation] tend to get…

I teach technology and information systems courses at Northeastern University in Boston. The two most popular laws that we teach there—and, one presumes, in most other academic departments that offer these subjects—are Moore’s law and Metcalfe’s law. Moore’s Law, as everyone by now knows, predicts that the number of transistors…

Despite lurking between microwaves and infrared, terahertz radiation is notoriously difficult to tap into for applications because of its peculiar physics. Over the past few decades, frequency tunable sources across this 0.3 to 3 terahertz (THz) range of the electromagnetic spectrum has remained elusive to researchers.“Electronic sources [of radiation] tend…

How To Build A Fault-Tolerant Superconducting Quantum Computer

2 Φεβρουαρίου 2022 by paulkokos

paulkokos

Quantum computers are theoretically far more powerful than classical computers on important tasks such as investigating novel battery designs or discovering new drugs, but they are currently too error-prone for practical use. Now Amazon, Google, IBM, and others are pursuing a bevy of innovative strategies to develop fault-tolerant quantum computers…
