Quantum computers are capable of achieving processing speeds much greater than current generation of computers. Though they employ quantum mechanisms, quantum computers will still be susceptible to external influences.
The concept of quantum entanglement, which is defined as the correlation between two quantum particles in space, has got more interesting owing to the research carried out at the Institute of Quantum Computing by postdoctoral fellow Eduardo Martin-Martinez.
Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated the accurate control of rapid acceleration and instantaneous stops of their beryllium ions in an ion trap.
A new quantum algorithm for data analysis has been demonstrated by a team of researchers.
A team of scientists from the Quantum ICT Research Institute of Tamagawa University in Japan has reported that the researchers have demonstrated the limit and incompleteness of the security theory in quantum cryptography or quantum key distribution.
A research team from the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has developed a first-of-its-kind monolithic three-dimensional (3D) ion microtrap array that may be scaled up to confine several tens of ion-based quantum bits (qubits).
A research team comprising Filippo Miatto and other physicists from the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK, has discovered a new technique to reliably evaluate the information carried by photon pairs utilized for quantum computing and cryptography applications.
Scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Politecnico di Milano, and the University of California (UC), San Diego, have shown the first heralded single photon source generated from silicon, a significant step towards the realization of more realistic quantum information processing.
A team of researchers that include Silvano Garnerone, an IQC postdoctoral fellow, has shown a quantum speed-up to the PageRank algorithm, a key algorithm utilized by Google for ranking webpages based on their importance in the webgraph.
Mike Thewalt of Simon Fraser University and researchers at Oxford University and in Germany are one step closer towards the realization of quantum computers by harnessing the novel properties of their ultrapure and highly enriched silicon.
