Protecting Data And Devices Now And In The Quantum Computing Era


Quantum computing is being pursued across industry, government and academia with tremendous energy and is set to become a reality in the not-so-distant future. Once sufficiently large quantum computers exist, traditional asymmetric cryptographic methods for key exchange and digital signatures will be broken. Many initiatives have been launched throughout the world to develop and deploy new quan... » read more

Improving Performance Of Artificial Intelligence And Quantum Computers


A technical paper titled “Gate-tunable superconducting diode effect in a three-terminal Josephson device” was published by researchers at University of Minnesota, University of California Santa Barbara, and Stanford University. Abstract: "The phenomenon of non-reciprocal critical current in a Josephson device, termed the Josephson diode effect, has garnered much recent interest. Realizati... » read more

Research Bits: May 30


Improving qubits Researchers from QuTech say they have improved the ‘Andreev spin qubit’ by taking the two most promising qubits — the spin qubits in semiconductors and transmon qubits in superconducting circuits — and finding a hybrid way that uses the best of both qubit types. “Spin qubits are small and compatible with current industrial technology, but they struggle with interact... » read more

Countering The Threat From Quantum Computers


Quantum computers hold much promise for the future, yet their computing power poses a significant threat to current security methods such as public key cryptography. In this white paper, Infineon will examine this issue in detail, propose an approach for future security based on TPMs and discuss current TPM technology. The reader can expect to gain a good appreciation of the security issues sur... » read more

Max Planck Generates Up To 14 Entangled Photons In A Defined Way And With High Efficiency


A new technical paper titled "Efficient generation of entangled multiphoton graph states from a single atom" was published by researchers at Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics. The team of physicists "generated up to 14 entangled photons in an optical resonator, which can be prepared into specific quantum physical states in a targeted and very efficient manner. The new method could facil... » read more

A Guide To Fast Optimal Solutions To Complex Problems For Quantum Computers


Most people have already heard the term “quantum computer.” There has been a lot of interest in quantum computers over the last few years, with great expectations that they will dramatically change the world soon. These days, we use computers all the time in our daily lives. Personal computers and smartphones are obvious computers, but there are many more computers hidden in plain sight aro... » read more

Qubits made by advanced semiconductor manufacturing


Abstract: "Full-scale quantum computers require the integration of millions of qubits, and the potential of using industrial semiconductor manufacturing to meet this need has driven the development of quantum computing in silicon quantum dots. However, fabrication has so far relied on electron-beam lithography and, with a few exceptions, conventional lift-off processes that suffer from low yie... » read more

Week in Review: IoT, Security, Auto


Internet of Things DHL Supply Chain reports that it will spend $300 million to install Internet of Things sensors and collaborative robots in its North American warehouses, bringing 60% of those facilities up to automation capabilities already implemented in 85 of DHL’s 430 warehouses in North America. The company will also employ robotic process automation software and other programs to red... » read more

Quantum Random Numbers Future-Proof Encryption


It may be a decade or more before quantum computers become common enough that we'll find out whether "post-quantum cryptography" will stand up to genuine quantum computers. In the meantime, some quantum researchers are peeling off specific functions and turning them into products or companies so that it's possible to take advantage of the potential of quantum computers without actually havin... » read more
