A team of physicists has introduced an innovative error-correction method for quantum computers, enabling them to switch error correction codes on-the-fly to manage complex computations more effectively and with fewer errors.

Error Correction in Quantum Computing

Computers can make mistakes, but in classical systems, these errors are usually detected and corrected using various technical methods. Quantum computers, however, face a unique challenge — quantum states cannot be copied. This limitation means that errors cannot be identified by comparing multiple saved copies, as is done in classical computing.

DATEV and IQM Quantum Computers collaborated to explore the potential of quantum computing in optimizing DATEV’s product portfolio.

The FIRETRACE collaboration is working towards resolving thermal challenges in quantum computing by improving cryogenic electronics.

Quantum computers have the potential of outperforming classical computers on some optimization tasks. Yet scaling up quantum computers leveraging existing fabrication processes while also maintaining good performances and energy-efficiencies has so far proved challenging, which in turn limits their widespread adoption.

Researchers at Quantum Motion in London recently demonstrated the integration of 1,024 independent silicon quantum dots with on-chip digital and analog electronics, to produce a quantum computing system that can operate at extremely low temperatures. This system, outlined in a paper published in Nature Electronics, links properties of devices at cryogenic temperatures with those observed at room temperature, opening new possibilities for the development of silicon qubit-based technologies.

“As quantum processors grow in complexity, new challenges arise such as the management of device variability and the interface with supporting electronics,” Edward J. Thomas, Virginia N. Ciriano-Tejel and their colleagues wrote in their paper.

While entangled photons hold incredible promise for quantum computing and communications, they have a major inherent disadvantage. After one use, they simply disappear.

In a new study, Northwestern University physicists propose a new strategy to maintain communications in a constantly changing, unpredictable quantum network. By rebuilding these disappearing connections, the researchers found the network eventually settles into a stable—albeit different—state.

The key resides in adding a sufficient number of connections to ensure the network continues to function, the researchers found. Adding too many connections comes with a high cost, overburdening the resources. But adding too few connections results in a fragmented network that cannot satisfy the user demand.

NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – The world’s largest integrated quantum computing company announced plans to expand into New Mexico.

Quantinuum’s new location will be a research and development hub aimed at advancing photonics technologies. The company is headquartered in Broomfield, Colorado. “I am thrilled to welcome Quantinuum to New Mexico, launching a new industry for our state that builds on our proud foundation of innovation,” said New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham in a news release.
