Google wants to solve tricky physics problems with quantum computers
Quantum computers could become more useful now researchers at Google have designed an algorithm that can translate complex physical problems into the language of quantum physics Source link
Biophotons: Are lentils sending secret quantum messages?
In the foothills to the south of Rome sits Italy’s premier nuclear physics lab, the National Laboratory of Frascati. It has all the equipment you would expect at a cutting-edge science facility, with huge magnets, powerful particle accelerators and exposed electric cables spilling out everywhere. Many of the researchers here are trying to unpick the…
A maverick physicist is building a case for scrapping quantum gravity
A rift runs deep through the heart of physics. The general theory of relativity, which describes gravity, clashes with quantum physics. In an effort to seal that physics fissure, untold numbers of physicists have spent their careers working to build a theory of quantum gravity. But one physicist is championing a radically different path. Jonathan…
IBM’s ‘Condor’ quantum computer has more than 1000 qubits
IBM’s quantum computers like Condor and Heron must be kept in an elaborate device called Quantum System Two which keeps them extremely cold Ryan Lavine for IBM Today, IBM unveiled two new quantum computers. The bigger of the two, dubbed Condor, is the second ever to have a total number of quantum bits, or qubits,…
Quantum computer sets record on path towards error-free calculations
A quantum computer built by researchers at Harvard and QuEra is a step towards practical devices QuEra Another quantum computing record has been broken. A team has built a quantum computer with the largest ever number of so-called logical qubits, or quantum bits. Unlike standard qubits, logical qubits are better able to carry out computations…
