Swinburne University of Technology and IQM Quantum Computers have partnered to advance quantum science and technology across Australia, Europe, and the Indo-Pacific. This collaboration will focus on workforce development through joint training and internships, technology translation via co-development of quantum applications, and international exchange programs for researchers and students. The…
Google Quantum AI has developed Virtual Error Cancellation (VEC), a classical post-processing technique that significantly reduces logical errors in fault-tolerant quantum circuits. VEC uses a dual-decoder approach, combining a fast real-time decoder with a high-accuracy offline decoder, to reweight experimental outcomes and suppress logical error rates by over 1,600-fold. This…
A University of Pennsylvania-led team has successfully demonstrated the on-chip transfer of photonic quantum skyrmions, topological light structures, from single photons to entangled states. This was achieved using integrated nanophotonic chips and established a noise-resilient quantum state transfer mechanism. The research, published in Nature Physics, shows that the skyrmion number,…
