Classiq collaborates with NVIDIA on quantum software and simulation of large quantum circuits

  • No comments
 The collaboration will allow organizations to explore the possibilities inherent in quantum software even before dedicated hardware has appeared. Today's quantum computers are still limited to a few qubits, and as the number of qubits increases, so does the noise, so simulation on "normal" computers is required

Researchers have developed a new device that will allow protection against quantum cracking

The researchers succeeded in creating an extremely tiny device that produces and emits single photons and on which the information can be transmitted in a quantum bit. Every contact, or even the performance of a measurement necessarily changes the information encoded on the photon and this will be expressed, upon reaching the destination, in an error in the protocol and giving an indication of the hacking attempt

The technology giant revealed for the first time a quantum processor with 127 qubits. The company says that this is the first processor whose performance cannot be imitated using classical computing. The number of bits that was needed for such an operation is greater than the number of atoms in all the people alive today

IBM and the Fraunhofer Institute unveiled Europe's most powerful quantum computer

  • One response
The computer, of the IBM System One type, includes a quantum chip of 27 qubits and a quantum volume of 32. It operates inside an armored glass case - like the one behind which the Mona Lisa is displayed - and at a temperature colder than that prevailing in outer space. One of the goals of the collaboration: to train reserves of researchers and developers for the age of quantum computing

The field of quantum computing is currently based on relatively small devices, and a computational capacity that suffers from noise disruptions and disturbances. A system with a thousand qubits will be a significant milestone that will be able to clearly demonstrate the advantages of quantum computing over classical computing and even the most powerful and efficient supercomputers in the world

Design of the photonic structure that traps two photons inside. The photons move along the horizontal direction, each one along the arm of the cross. The holes are positioned so that the two photons are captured at the center point where the two arms of the cross cross. The blue and red curves represent the intensity of the electric fields of the corresponding photons. The photons react due to the non-linearity of the crystal that forms the cross.
