(HPC) Physicists have produced a new type of qubit that can be switched from a stable idle mode to a fast calculation mode. The concept would also allow a large number of qubits to be combined into a powerful quantum computer, as researchers from...

(NextPlatform) There are several signs that a number of important collaborations between quantum vendors and major biotech companies will be announced in 2021. If pharma comes out as the early adopter expect the entire quantum hardware market to...

(IBM.QuantumBlog) From November 9 to 30, 2020, more than 3,300 people from 85 countries applied for the 2,000 seats of the IBM Quantum Challenge to find out what does programming for the not-so-distant quantum future look like?
During the...

(Phys.org) A team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in China has used drones to create a prototype of a small airborne quantum network. The researchers sent entangled particles from one drone to another and from a drone to the...

(ComputerWeekly) https://www.computerweekly.com/news/252494884/Tech-partnership-to-drive-Finlands-quantum-computing-project. Finland’s plan to build a 50-qubit machine stacks up reasonably well in terms of ambition and scope, compared with projects...

(PRNewswire) An international research team has developed a fast and affordable quantum random number generator. The device created by scientists from NUST MISIS, Russian Quantum Center, University of Oxford, Goldsmiths, University of London and...

(PhysicsWorld) “Lattice surgery” has been used to quantum-mechanically entangle fault-tolerant topological qubits – an achievement that could lead to the production of more reliable quantum logic gates. Created by researchers in Austria, Switzerland...

(IndiaEducationDiary) Understanding of the universe could be transformed thanks to major UK investment in quantum technologies including £2m for Lancaster University.
UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is supporting two collaborative projects...

(Phys.org) Scientists at the Institute of Physics of the University of Tartu have found a way to develop optical quantum computers of a new type. Central to the discovery are rare earth ions that have certain characteristics and can act as quantum...

(Quantum.gov) The first Annual Report on the National Quantum Initiative (NQI) Program budget, as required by the NQI Act has been released. The release of this report follows the ramp-up of the NQI Program during 2019 and the establishment of...

(ScienceNews.org) Researchers from Nanjing University have reported using drones to transmit particles of light, or photons, that share the quantum linkage called entanglement. The photons were sent to two locations a kilometer apart.
The...
