Quondensate’s Post

The European Innovation Council (EIC) has awarded a Pathfinder Grant of about 3 million euros to the European consortium Quondensate. The consortium’s research aims to result in a prototypical quantum computer which will overcome the conventional boundaries of standard information and computation technologies. The project is coordinated by Politecnico di Milano and partners include six prestigious universities and a world-leading company in the field of quantum technologies. Zeila Zanolli, associate professor at Utrecht University, is one of the principal investigators. Today’s computation, based on parallel processing of information, is reaching its physical limitations. Novel solutions are needed to overcome the main hurdles. Quondensate will take on this challenge by presenting a proof-of-concept of a new idea: Quantum Reservoir Computing (QRC), implemented using a network of defects in two-dimensional quantum materials. Reservoir computing (RC) refers to a specific type of machine learning, and QRC refers to the implementation of RC using systems which exploit quantum properties like superposition and entanglement. If successful, the results will ultimately enable the fabrication of a prototypical quantum computer.

Fundamental breakthrough in the control of two light sources makes quantum mechanical entanglement accessible to: computation, internet, and encryption. Underlying paper: https://lnkd.in/gcnw_kUc Coupling at a distance The merger of nanophotonics with quantum optics has provided a platform for the development of deterministic single-photon sources and sources of entangled photons. Tiranov et al. show that multiple quantum emitters (two or three quantum dots) can be coupled through a photonic crystal waveguide. The waveguide helps to overcome the typically short-range nature of the dipole-dipole interactions and allows the signature properties of such a coupled system, subradiant and superradiant emission, to be observed. Control of such processes could provide an enabling step for scaling up deterministic solid-state photon-emitter interfaces and multiphoton-entangled sources for applications in quantum information processing. —ISO Abstract Photon emission is the hallmark of light-matter interaction and the foundation of photonic quantum science, enabling advanced sources for quantum communication and computing. Although single-emitter radiation can be tailored by the photonic environment, the introduction of multiple emitters extends this picture. A fundamental challenge, however, is that the radiative dipole-dipole coupling rapidly decays with spatial separation, typically within a fraction of the optical wavelength. We realize distant dipole-dipole radiative coupling with pairs of solid-state optical quantum emitters embedded in a nanophotonic waveguide. We dynamically probe the collective response and identify both super- and subradiant emission as well as means to control the dynamics by proper excitation techniques. Our work constitutes a foundational step toward multiemitter applications for scalable quantum-information processing. https://lnkd.in/g9AZKM6R

“To build a quantum computer, you still need to encode information in a binary form – a zero and a one, just the way you do with a standard, classical computer. Your mobile phone, for example, has a chip that contains billions of tiny transistors in silicon – a transistor is like an electronic switch, either open or closed. By applying a voltage to the switch, you make your zero or one. #quantumcomputing #quantum #quantummechanics #science #smic #China #technology #quantumcomputer #energy #hydrogen #ai #huawei #machinelearning #mathematics #math #computerscience #quantumtechnology #datascience #mit #vision #computer #theoreticalphysics #stanfordphysics #innovation #digitalmarketing #creativity #Future #futurism #Entrepreneurship #Careers #Markets #Startups #Marketing #SocialMedia #Economics #venturecapital #motivation #sustainability #healthcare #education #science #philosophy #physics #design https://lnkd.in/eDP_TgSu

BREAKTHROUGH: Quantum Computing, Superconductor Breakthrough: New Fusion of Materials Has All the Components Required for a Unique Type of Superconductivity Quantum Computing Breakthrough: New Fusion of Materials Has All the Components Required for a Unique Type of Superconductivity. A new fusion of materials, each with special electrical properties, has all the components required for a unique type of superconductivity that could provide the basis for more robust quantum computing.

🎩✨ Quantum Computing's Secret Sauce: It's Not Just Entanglement, It's Magic! 🧙♂️💻... A fascinating breakthrough from researchers at Harvard University, Scuola Normale Superiore, CNR (Compagnie Nationale du Rhône), and the Dahlem Center for Complex Quantum Systems is rewriting the quantum playbook. We've all heard that entanglement is the superpower behind quantum computers. But guess what, it's actually "magic"! 🪄 Entanglement isn't the whole story - some highly entangled states are actually easy for classical computers to simulate. Enter "magic" - a measure of how much non-Clifford resources a quantum state needs. It's the special ingredient which gives quantum computers their edge. In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers have uncovered two distinct quantum realms: the Entanglement-Dominated (ED) and Magic-Dominated (MD) phases. This revelation is set to supercharge quantum error correction, explain weird behavior in hybrid quantum circuits, and potentially lead to better quantum algorithms and simulations. 🌌 The team has essentially uncovered quantum computing's "phase diagram." It's like discovering water can be ice, liquid, or steam, but for information! "We can always handle entanglement tasks efficiently for ED states, but for MD states, it's a mixed bag," the researchers explain. It's not just about how quantum your system is - it's about what flavor of quantum you've got! This breakthrough could reshape how we approach everything from quantum chaos to many-body physics. It's not just academic - companies racing to build quantum computers might need to rethink their strategies! What do you think? Is "magic" the missing ingredient in the quantum recipe?
