October 12, 2023 by
BOSTON, October 12, 2023 – Neutral-atom quantum company QuEra Computing today announced that a team of researchers from Harvard, MIT and QuEra successfully demonstrated two-qubit entangling gates with an unprecedented 99.5 percent fidelity on 60 neutral atom qubits in parallel. The organizations said it is the result of a test conducted by Harvard University’s Department […]
AD Little on Quantum: 4 Myths and 5 Ways to Get Started
October 9, 2023 by
Quantum systems will potentially be exponentially more powerful than other forms of computing. That’s a good thing, of course, but it’s also true that quantum is proportionately more complicated than other technologies, making reading and talking about it more difficult by orders of magnitude. That’s why a new paper from Arthur D. Little comes as a breath of fresh air….
MIT Reports Fluxonium Qubit Architecture Achieves Progress on Quantum Error Correction
September 25, 2023 by
MIT researchers report they have demonstrated a novel superconducting qubit architecture that can perform operations between qubits with greater accuracy, addressing a roadblock to commercial use of quantum computers: error correction. The researchers utilized a relatively new type of superconducting qubit, known as fluxonium, which can have a lifespan that is longer….
@HPCpodcast: Evaluating Specialty AI Chips at Argonne’s AI Testbed
August 21, 2023 by
Our latest episode of @HPCpodcast delves into the Cambrian explosion of AI specialty chips – of which there so many have been released on the HPC-AI market that it’s hard to discern which chip is right for what workload. Hence the AI Testbed at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility. Shahin and Doug spoke with Venkat Vishwanath….
