Quantum computing researchers are exploring whether quantum computational advantage might be obtainable without quantum error correction. The larger one can make a quantum computer while continuing to push down error rates the more likely it is that we will find tasks at which non-error-corrected quantum computers dramatically outperform the best classical algorithms. The high gate …
QuEra has sold another neutral atom quantum computer to a national agency. This one is in Japan. QuEra previously had a sale to the UK. QuEra Computing has a 6.5 Billion JPY contract (approx. $41M USD) from Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) to deliver a state-of-the-art quantum computer, advancing quantum …
PASQAL, a leader in neutral atoms quantum computing, is releasing a significant technology roadmap today. Key highlights will include: Scaling Up: Roadmap targets 10,000 qubits by 2026, progression towards fault-tolerant systems. Customer Focus: Devices already in the hands of end-users (100+ qubits), driving software development. Promising Research: Recent advances demonstrate potential for quantum error correction …
Many experts predict that practical fault tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) will require millions of physical quantum bits (qubits) but in August, 2023 IBM scientists published the discovery of new error correction codes that work with ten times fewer qubits. Practical error correction is far from a solved problem. However, these new codes and other advances …
IONQ met their technical target of 29 algorithmic qubits (#AQ) seven months earlier than expected. IonQ Forte is their newest quantum system. IonQ Forte represents a 16x step up in power from the IonQ Aria system. IonQ’s qubits are trapped ionized ytterbium atoms, a silvery rare-earth metal. Each ytterbium atom is perfectly identical to every …
IBM Research has a goal of scaling quantum systems to a size where they’ll be capable of solving the world’s most challenging problems. IBM wants to deploy a quantum-centric supercomputer powered by 100,000 qubits by 2033. IBM has laid out a roadmap to reach 1000 qubit processors this year and 4000 qubits within two years. …
I was at a Q2B conference presentation by PsiQuantum on their work to develop fault-tolerant over one million qubit quantum computers. They are developing new optical and photonic components to achieve truly breakthrough capabilities. They have a staff of over 250 people and have dedicated fabs to create their systems. This seems like a viable …
There has been many billions of dollars invested into quantum computing. The picture above is partial view of the companies and institutions working toward quantum computing. William Oliver of MIT gave an overview of the status of Quantum Computing as of late 2021. There had been experimental indications that the 1 and 2 qubit systems …
Atom Computing has closed a $60M in Series B funding, which brings their total funding to $80 million. They are building a larger second-generation quantum computing system that can run commercial use-cases. Atom Computing’s record-setting qubit coherence was 40 seconds plus or minus 7 seconds. That may not seem very long compared to everyday life, …
The Australian Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre has installed a room-temperature diamond-based quantum computer developed by Quantum Brilliance. They use synthetic diamonds to run at room temperature. It is a nitrogen-vacancy center based qubit, an imperfection within diamonds, which can be manipulated at room temperature. The system has been paired with Setonix, Pawsey’s HPE Cray EX …
ColdQuanta, the global quantum ecosystem leader, today announced its acquisition of Chicago-based Super.tech, a world leader in quantum software application and platform development, and the beta launch of Hilbert, the world’s first gate-based cold atom quantum computer. Super.tech’s full team of quantum information scientists and software developers, including CEO Pranav Gokhale and Chief Scientist Fred …
