By Michele Canzi Depending on who you ask, quantum computers are going to solve almost all of mankind’s problems. Everything, from the financial markets to medicine, is going to be flipped on its head –  because quantum computers will be to classical computers what the Falcon 9 is to a bicycle. The field is moving fast, and Quantum Supremacy – the stage where a quantum device can solve a problem that no classical computer can solve in any feasible amount of time – is almost in the rear-view mirror. Once they’ll get there, quantum computers will transform everything. But for now, [...]

Olivier Ezratty and Rob Whitney, co-founders of QEI, the Quantum Energy Initiative, are interviewed by Yuval Boger. Olivier, Rob and Yuval talk about why the energy consumption of quantum computers is important, what drives this power consumption, how it changes with various technologies and algorithms, and much more. Yuval Boger: Hello, Olivier. Hello, Rob. Thanks for joining me today. Olivier Ezratty: Hello. Rob Whitney: Hi. Yuval: So, Rob, who are you, and what do you do? Rob: Okay, so thank you very much for inviting us. So, I'm a quantum physicist. I worked on quantum physics since the late nineties, but [...]

The OpenSuperQPlus program is a successor to the previous OpenSuperQ program that will be coordinated by Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH and involve 28 partners from 10 different countries. It has a first stage goal of developing a 100 qubit system within 3.5 years and a second stage goal of developing a 1000 qubit system within seven years. The funding will come from the European Union's Horizon Europe framework program. A press release announcing the program can be seen on the Forschungszentrum Jülich website here and a list of all the partners in the program are shown below.

NVIDIA DGX Quantum Systems. Credit: NVIDIA NVIDIA and Quantum Machines have introduced a new system called DGX Quantum that combines technologies from both companies for providing programming and control of a quantum processor. The Quantum Machines portion is the OPX+ Quantum Control Platform which provide the waveforms for controlling the qubits with the low level waveforms and measurement to operate the qubits. The NVIDIA portion will include a new Grace Hopper Superchip that couples a very high performance GPU (Hopper) with a very high performance CPU (Grace) on the same module. The system is expandable and multiple Grace Hopper Superchips can [...]

Sam Stanwyck, Group Product Manager, Quantum Computing at NVIDIA is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Sam and Yuval talk about NVIDIA's QODA library, classical/quantum integration at HPC centers, and much more Transcripts Yuval Boger: Hello, Sam. Thank you for joining me today. Sam Stanwyck: Hi, Yuval. Great to be here. Yuval: Great to have you. So who are you and what do you do? Sam: My name is Sam Stanwyck, and I lead the Quantum Computing product team at NVIDIA. So I've been doing that for about a year and a half now. My background is in experimental condensed matter physics. That [...]

By Dr Chris Mansell, Senior Scientific Writer at Terra Quantum Shown below are summaries of a few interesting research papers in quantum computing and communications that we have seen over the past month. Software Title: Fault-Tolerant Connection of Error-Corrected Qubits with Noisy LinksOrganizations: MIT-Harvard Center for Ultracold Atoms and Research Laboratory of Electronics; University of BristolQubit architectures are hard to scale: ions experience spectral crowding of their motional modes, superconductors have to fit inside a cryostat and arrays of ultracold atoms must stay within the field of view of an aspheric lens. One way to overcome this is to link patches [...]

The full report is available for purchase on the GQI website at this link CLICK HERE. The performance of today’s quantum hardware remains modest, and despite the hard work of innovators that is not going to change overnight. Each qubit platform faces its own significant challenges as vendors seek to scale up. But if we look at the details we can see that underlying progress remains strong across the hardware stack. Progress on error correcting codes must not be neglected. Innovation there has the potential to disrupt our standard assumptions about what it takes to build a quantum computer. The strategic [...]

The four quantum market surveys have been announced in the past month that show similar indications of quantum growth in the coming years. These include surveys from Hyperion Research and sponsored by QED-C, Q2B, Q-STAR and others; another one from OpenOcean, IQM Quantum Computers, and Lakestar; a third one released by D-Wave; and a fourth one from Classiq. Although the participants surveyed, the questions asked, and the geographic focus differ between these surveys, the results were remarkably consistent and showed optimism that growth in the quantum industry will continue in 2023 and beyond. The Hyperion survey was the third annual survey it performed with [...]

By Dr. Chris Mansell Shown below are summaries of a few interesting research papers in quantum computing and communications that have been published over the past month. Software Title: Quantum Chaos = Volume-Law Spatiotemporal EntanglementOrganizations: Monash University; Centre for Quantum Technology, Transport for New South WalesIn classical mechanics, there is a well-developed theoretical framework for investigating chaotic systems. The central concept is that a small perturbation, such as the flap of a butterfly’s wings, can lead to an outsized effect, such as a storm several days later in another part of the world. Chaos in quantum mechanical systems has not been [...]
