IBM Research and ETH Zurich recently signed a new research agreement, with the aim of creating the algorithmic underpinnings of the next era of computing. This partnership has been around for a long time, with the IBM-ETH relationship dating back 70 years, to the very beginning of IBM’s presence in Zurich. The founding director of … Read more
Inside Short New research from Caltech and Oratomic suggests that fault-tolerant quantum computers may only need 10,000-20,000 qubits—much fewer than previously thought—which could speed up times up to this decade. The team has developed highly efficient quantum error correction systems using systems of neutral atoms, reducing the number of physical qubits from 1,000 to five. … Read more
Since arriving at Northeast in 2022, Yizhi You has focused his research on quantum many-body physics. This includes quantum computing, an emerging field that uses the principles of quantum physics to create machines that can operate faster than a conventional computer. Your work has won him awards such as the CAREER Award from the National … Read more
Inside Short Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the University of California Santa Barbara have demonstrated laser and ion-trap devices that could significantly reduce quantum computing resources. The study shows that the large, complex optical systems used to control confined qubits can be replaced by integrated photonic chips while maintaining high fidelity performance. … Read more
Quantum computing promises to change our world in fast, powerful and transformative ways: solving in seconds problems that would take years of old computers, accelerating the discovery of new medicines, creating durable materials, improving complex systems, and strengthening network security. It does so by using qubitsquantum computes of classical bits, which can span multiple states … Read more
