EU deploys first quantum technology in six sites across Europe

Today, the European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) has announced the selection of six sites that will host the first European quantum computers: in Czechia, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, and Poland. They will be integrated on site into existing supercomputers, and will form a wide network across Europe. The total planned investment is over Read more about EU deploys first quantum technology in six sites across Europe[…]

Time crystals as the next major leap in quantum network research

Time crystals sound like something out of science fiction, but they may be the next major leap in quantum network research. A team based in Japan has proposed a method to use time crystals to simulate massive networks with very little computing power. They published their results on October 16 Science Advances. First theorized in 2012 Read more about Time crystals as the next major leap in quantum network research[…]

Europe’s leading role in supercomputing and quantum computing

The Commission takes further steps in the Digital Decade agenda to strengthen Europe’s digital sovereignty, as announced by President Ursula von der Leyen in her State of the Union Address on Wednesday. The Commission has proposed a new Regulation for the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking to maintain and advance Europe’s leading role in supercomputing and quantum computing. It will support research Read more about Europe’s leading role in supercomputing and quantum computing[…]

Unconventional superconductor may be used to create quantum computers of the future

With their insensitivity to decoherence what are known as Majorana particles could become stable building blocks of a quantum computer. The problem is that they only occur under very special circumstances. Now researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have succeeded in manufacturing a component that is able to host the sought-after particles. Researchers throughout the Read more about Unconventional superconductor may be used to create quantum computers of the future[…]

Using cryogenic techniques may become essential in future memory systems

Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ: RMBS) today announced an expanded collaboration with Microsoft researchers to develop prototype systems that optimize memory performance in cryogenic temperatures. Following the initial collaboration announced in December 2015, this new agreement extends joint efforts to enhance memory capabilities, reduce energy consumption and improve overall system performance. The technologies being developed by the Read more about Using cryogenic techniques may become essential in future memory systems[…]

A new type of Weyl semimetal potentially useful for creating high-speed electronic circuits and quantum computers

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory have discovered a new type of Weyl semimetal, a material that opens the way for further study of Weyl fermions, a type of massless elementary particle hypothesized by high-energy particle theory and potentially useful for creating high-speed electronic circuits and quantum computers. Researchers created a crystal Read more about A new type of Weyl semimetal potentially useful for creating high-speed electronic circuits and quantum computers[…]
