The diagram simulates our algorithm for playing cards. The immediate effect of measuring one qubit on the others is similar to covert communication between players. Quantum computers use this effect to win the game with a higher probability compared to classical players. The diagram combines from left to right: 1) card game, 2) quantum circuit, 3) coin lottery (probability), 4) measurement of the qubits, 5) use of a classical algorithm that reduces the amount of noise, 6) analysis of the results.

"Students and graduates of computer science must convert to quantum programming, because this is the future"

This is what Nir Minrabi, CEO of Classiq, says in an interview with the Hidan website. This requires a certain set of tools that includes linear algebra and an understanding of quantum theory. The company is developing a software language for quantum computers that will allow
The countries that are members of the Horizon 2020 program that ends this year - in dark blue, countries that belong to the European Union, in light blue the associated countries that the UK will now also join. Associated countries will not be able to participate in the Horizon Europe program in the fields of quantum and space.

Israel, Great Britain and Switzerland were excluded from the European R&D program in the fields of quantum and space

The reasons: making these areas strategic and the fear of brain drain. About 20 joint quantum projects with the European Union are operating in Israel. The scientific community fears damage to European science. Officials in Israel did not respond to a website request

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.
