Exciting update! Just published a new blog post on a two-circuit approach to reducing quantum resources for the quantum lattice Boltzmann method. This innovative method introduces a novel multiple circuits algorithm that significantly cuts down on CNOT gates in solving the Navier-Stokes equations. It offers a promising step towards practical quantum circuits for solving scientific problems. Check out the full post at https://bit.ly/3UdD3MG.

📣 Starting today, and until October 11, our colleagues Julia Cramer, Joris van Hoboken, Clare Shelley-Egan and Pieter Vermaas host the workshop 'The role of hype in the future of quantum technology', organized by them, in the Lorentz Center. In this Quantum Delta NL and Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities and Social Sciences (NIAS-KNAW) sponsored workshop, it is aimed to further understand the role of hype, especially related to the ethical, legal and societal aspects of quantum technology. The four days program will explore the boundary between ‘good’ or ‘healthy’ hype, and red flags when crossing the line. Our researchers aim to develop a self-reflection tool on hype for the exploration of future scenarios of quantum technology. 💡 Key questions the workshop will address are: ✅ What are the ethical, legal and societal functions of hype? ✅What is the role of hype in the ethical, legal and societal aspects of quantum technologies? ✅Which conditions should claims and narrative meet to count as ‘healthy’ forms of hype, and what are red flags? Specifically, what hype is healthy for communication between researchers and the public, what hype is healthy for ethical analysis of quantum technology and what limitations on hype follow from relevant law and in policy contexts related to quantum technology? ✅Can hype be contextualized by relating them to the functions actors and organizations have in the development of quantum technology, and how does the ‘healthiness’ of hype depend on these functions? 🔎Interested to know more about the insights of this workshop? Stay tuned for more information. 🔎Interested to be part of upcoming initiatives like this? Reach out to us at cqs@quantumdelta.nl.

Umbrella for Atoms ☂️ In a groundbreaking development, researchers at the Würzburg-Dresden Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat have engineered a protective film that shields quantum #semiconductor layers just one atom thick from environmental influences without compromising their revolutionary quantum properties. This puts the application of these delicate atomic layers in ultrathin electronic components within realistic reach. Further info ➡ https://lnkd.in/ep_fcPcN

When solving ordinary differential equations numerically, we usually aim for the biggest stable step size, as this leads to faster simulations when aiming to cover a set domain. However, this might lead to some non-physical results. This was the main idea behind the work presented in the 14th ERCOFTAC Workshop on Direct and Large Eddy Simulation (#DLES14) held on FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, related to the research done in CTTC - UPC | Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - Centre Tecnològic de Transferència de Calor. After finding some non-physical spurious modes when pushing the timestep close to the stability limit in the simulation of a turbulent planar channel flow, we delved deep in the stability of Runge-Kutta schemes, and how this affects the outcome of the integration.

Quantum technology lives at the intersection of a variety of disciplines - physics, engineering, computer science to name a few. As this sector continues to grow, the demand for entry-level professionals with a background in quantum education is increasing. That's why we, and companies like Lake Shore Cryotronics, are committed to cultivating the #quantumworkforce by providing undergraduate students hands-on learning experiences with industry standard instruments.

Attending the annual OLN workshop, this year about "Imagining the Future" and co-hosted by SLAC Nat'l Accelerator Lab. In this panel discussion, Scott Hsu commented that "fusion is really at the nexus of DOE." Started from the nat'l security mission, potentially transforming the energy supply, and rich with intellectually compelling science needing large facilities, computing, and talented teams. To plug myself, am leading a session with colleague and fellow OSELP alum Despina M using the "unConference" format. Looking forward to it!

What is the quality of scientific promises around quantum technologies? Can we speak of 'appropriate' hype? What is the normative value of hype, when (not) supported by current techoscientific developments? Let's get stuck in! 🤓
