Last year during my trip to Silicon Valley, I was invited to visit a company called PsiQuantum. When you think about quantum computing, your mind might conjure up those chandeliers. Qubits plunged to super cold temperatures. PsiQuantum is working on something a little different. Quantum computing using photons. In this video, a form of quantum compute with intriguing possibilities. Does it “work” like silicon does today? Is quantum compute really here? I can't really answer those questions in this video. But we can explore the ideas and the ideas are certainly mind-bending.

In this episode of The New Quantum Era, host Sebastian Hassinger interviews Professor Will Oliver from MIT about the advancements in fluxonium qubits. The discussion delves into the unique features of fluxonium qubits compared to traditional transmon qubits, highlighting their potential for high fidelity operations and scalability. Oliver shares insights from recent experiments at MIT, where his team achieved nearly five nines fidelity in single-qubit gates, and discusses how these qubits could be scaled up for larger quantum computing architectures through innovative control systems.Major Points Covered:Fluxonium vs. Transmon Qubits: Fluxonium qubits have a double-well potential, unlike the harmonic oscillator-like potential of transmon qubits. This design allows for high anharmonicity, which is beneficial for reducing leakage to higher energy levels during operations.High Fidelity Operations: The MIT team achieved high fidelity in both single and two-qubit gates using fluxonium qubits. For single qubits, they reached nearly five nines fidelity, and for two-qubit gates, they achieved fidelities around 99.92%.Scalability and Cost Reduction: Fluxonium qubits operate at lower frequencies, which could enable the integration of control electronics at cryogenic temperatures, reducing costs and increasing scalability. This approach is being developed by Atlantic Quantum, a startup spun out of Oliver's research groupFuture Directions: The goal is to implement surface code error correction with fluxonium qubits, which could lead to efficient production of logical qubits due to their high fidelity operationsThis episode brought to you with support from APS and from Quantum Machines, a big thank you to both organizations!

In dieser Folge tauchen Alois und Oliver gemeinsam mit ihrem Gast Benedikt-Sebastian Mehmel von Hamburg Quantum Innovation Capital (hqic) tief in die Welt des Quantencomputings ein. Es wird erklärt, wie sich klassische Bits von Quantenbits (Qubits) unterscheiden – während Bits nur die Zustände 0 und 1 darstellen, können Qubits dank Superposition gleichzeitig beide Zustände annehmen. Dadurch ergeben sich exponentielle Steigerungen in der Rechenleistung, da mehrere Informationszustände parallel verarbeitet werden können.Die Diskussion beleuchtet darüber hinaus auch die zentralen Herausforderungen der Technologie:Technische Hürden:Die extremen Anforderungen an Temperaturkontrolle, Vibrationsempfindlichkeit und die Notwendigkeit einer effektiven Fehlerkorrektur werden ausführlich thematisiert. Unterschiedliche Ansätze – von atomaren Qubits und Ionenfallen bis hin zu schaltkreisbasierten Systemen wie bei IBM – werden vorgestellt, wobei jede Methode ihre eigenen Vor- und Nachteile aufweist.Praktische Anwendungsfälle:Konkrete Beispiele, wie die Optimierung von Flugabläufen an Flughäfen und die effizientere Steuerung von Hafenprozessen, zeigen, dass Quantencomputing bereits jetzt das Potential besitzt, komplexe und rechenintensive Probleme zu lösen. Auch der Vergleich mit der aktuellen Entwicklung im Bereich klassischer Rechenzentren und KI wird gezogen, wobei das Ziel klar bleibt: mit weniger Energieaufwand mehr Leistung zu erzielen.Quantum Supremacy und Cybersecurity:Anhand des Beispiels der Google Sycamore Maschine wird das Konzept der Quantum Supremacy erklärt – der Moment, in dem ein Quantencomputer eine spezifische Aufgabe deutlich schneller löst als der beste klassische Ansatz. Gleichzeitig wird auch auf zukünftige Herausforderungen in der Cybersecurity hingewiesen, da die Weiterentwicklung der Quantencomputer auch die bestehenden Verschlüsselungsmethoden bedrohen könnte und deshalb bereits heute an post-quantum Sicherheitsstandards gearbeitet wird.Die Quantenrevolutionen:Abschließend wird die Entwicklung von der ersten Quantenrevolution (die Entstehung und Anwendung der Quantenmechanik in klassischen Technologien) über die zweite Quantenrevolution (den Übergang vom Labor in die Anwendung durch den kontrollierten Einsatz einzelner Qubits) bis hin zu ersten Ansätzen einer dritten Revolution diskutiert – einem möglichen Zusammenführen von Quantenmechanik und anderen Disziplinen wie der Gravitation.

Located at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, MareNostrum 5 is part of a network of European supercomputers and is used to conduct research in fields such as biomedicine, geophysics, atmosphere, energy, society and economy, providing valuable data to the international scientific community. Gerard Escaich Folch visits the picturesque chapel Torre Girona, where the MareNostrum supercomputer is installed. There, he meets José María Cela Espín, the director of Computer Applications in Science and Engineering at the Barcelona Supercomputer Centre. His department uses the 314 petaflops of MareNostrum 5's processing power to develop software to efficiently exploit super-computing capabilities through the simulations and modeling. A flop is the unit to define how powerful a computer is, and is based on the number of calculations per second it can make. A standard computer would take 46 years to perform what MareNostrum 5 can achieve in just one hour. Host Beth Cohen learns about the future of computing and we talk to Jan Nogué, a quantum engineer from Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech responsible for building the groundbreaking computer at BSC. We also discuss the cybersecurity risks associated with these new technologies and the measures that the BSC is taking to remain one step ahead of the hackers. This week's Catalan phrase is ‘Aquí hi ha gat amagat!' which translates literally as ‘There is a cat shut in here!'. It is used to express suspicion that there is more to something than meets the eye… Rather like the case of Schrödinger's cat, which can be simultaneously alive and dead, or that of qubits, the unit of measurement used in quantum computing.

Quantum computing will never be the same again. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a special onsite interview at Microsoft Azure Quantum labs, where he was invited to see the launch of Majorana 1, the world's first quantum processor powered by topological qubits. On the day this episode is posted, Nature will release a paper validating how Microsoft was able to create a topoconductor, or new material stack of indium arsenide and aluminum, built literally one atom at a time, to bring quantum particles called Majoranas into usable form. The resulting topological qubits have a unique shape called a tetron and can be accurately measured with lower errors than other modalities. Starting with a 4x2 grid of qubits, this same tiny device will hold 1 million qubits in a few years because of its unique system of wiring and measurement. This interview with Chetan Nayak from Microsoft happened a few feet away from a working Majorana 1 system.  For more information on Microsoft Azure Quantum, visit https://quantum.microsoft.com/.   Read the technical blog here: https://aka.ms/MSQuantumAQBlog.  For photos from the Microsoft labs and other links, visit @konstanthacker on X and Instagram.  Visit Protiviti at www.protiviti.com/US-en/technology-consulting/quantum-computing-services  to learn more about how Protiviti is helping organizations get post-quantum ready.  Follow host Konstantinos Karagiannis on all socials: @KonstantHacker and follow Protiviti Technology on LinkedIn and Twitter: @ProtivitiTech.     Questions and comments are welcome!  Theme song by David Schwartz, copyright 2021.  The views expressed by the participants of this program are their own and do not represent the views of, nor are they endorsed by, Protiviti Inc., The Post-Quantum World, or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, shareholders, or subsidiaries.  None of the content should be considered investment advice, as an offer or solicitation of an offer to buy or sell, or as an endorsement of any company, security, fund, or other securities or non-securities offering.

A Note from James: "I have been dying to understand quantum computing. And listen, I majored in computer science. I went to graduate school for computer science. I was a computer scientist for many years. I've taken apart and put together conventional computers. But for a long time, I kept reading articles about quantum computing, and it's like magic—it can do anything. Or so they say. Quantum computing doesn't follow the conventional ways of understanding computers. It's a completely different paradigm. So, I invited two friends of mine, Nick Newton and Gavin Brennan, to help me get it. Nick is the COO and co-founder of BTQ Technologies, a company addressing quantum security issues. Gavin is a top quantum physicist working with BTQ. They walked me through the basics: what quantum computing is, when it'll be useful, and why it's already a security issue. You'll hear me asking dumb questions—and they were incredibly patient. Pay attention! Quantum computing will change everything, and it's important to understand the challenges and opportunities ahead. Here's Nick and Gavin to explain it all." Episode Description: Quantum computing is a game-changer in technology—but how does it work, and why should we care? In this episode, James is joined by Nick Newton, COO of BTQ Technologies, and quantum physicist Gavin Brennan to break down the fundamentals of quantum computing. They discuss its practical applications, its limitations, and the looming security risks that come with it. From the basics of qubits and superposition to the urgent need for post-quantum cryptography, this conversation simplifies one of the most complex topics of our time. What You'll Learn: The basics of quantum computing: what qubits are and how superposition works. Why quantum computers are different from classical computers—and why scaling them is so challenging.

Yale's Steve Girvin is a pioneer of quantum computing, and our guide for our first foray into understanding how these systems do and don't work. Over the course of our conversation, we come to realize that quantum computers are not performing computations per se - they're more devices that an be used to answer a specific set of questions about reality. We dig into the details of why some questions can only be answered with a quantum computer, how next generation encryption services will come with a way of detecting eavesdroppers, and try once more to understand if there's a way of looking at the Stern Gerlach experiment that doesn't need any kind of magic.

If you're a longtime listener, you probably have heard that we can't simulate more than 50 qubits on a classical computer. Representing each qubit doubles the required system resources, and state vector simulation hits a wall even on supercomputers. But what if there was a different way to break this barrier, even on a laptop? Is the threat to cryptography on an accelerated timeline because of this or other techniques? Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis as he discusses with Bob Wold from Quantum Rings how tensor networks may take us into new realms of practical quantum computing for everyone.For more information on Quantum Rings, visit www.quantumrings.com/.  To read the paper “Empowering Large Scale Quantum Circuit Development: Effective Simulation of Sycamore Circuits” on arXiv, visit https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.12131.  Visit Protiviti at www.protiviti.com/US-en/technology-consulting/quantum-computing-services  to learn more about how Protiviti is helping organizations get post-quantum ready.  Follow host Konstantinos Karagiannis on all socials: @KonstantHacker and follow Protiviti Technology on LinkedIn and Twitter: @ProtivitiTech.       Questions and comments are welcome!  Theme song by David Schwartz, copyright 2021.  The views expressed by the participants of this program are their own and do not represent the views of, nor are they endorsed by, Protiviti Inc., The Post-Quantum World, or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, shareholders, or subsidiaries.  None of the content should be considered investment advice, as an offer or solicitation of an offer to buy or sell, or as an endorsement of any company, security, fund, or other securities or non-securities offering.

When people hear 'quantum physics,' they often think of sci-fi movies using terms like 'quantum realm' to explain away the impossible. But today we're talking about quantum computing, which has moved beyond science fiction into reality. Companies like IBM and Google are racing to build machines that could transform medicine, energy storage, and our understanding of the universe.But there's a catch: these same computers could potentially break most of the security protecting our digital lives, from WhatsApp messages to bank transfers to military secrets. To address this threat, the National Institute of Standards and Technology recently released quantum-safe cryptography standards, while new government mandates are pushing federal agencies to upgrade their security before quantum systems become cryptographically relevant—in other words, vulnerable to hacks by quantum computers.To help us understand both the promise and peril of quantum computing, we're joined by Travis Scholten, Technical Lead in the Public Sector at IBM and former quantum computing researcher at the company. He's also a former policy hacker at FAI, author of the Quantum Stack newsletter and co-author of a white paper on the benefits and risks of quantum computers.

Machine-learning based Generative AI is inherently inefficient. Training models by sifting findings again and again until a suitable output is generated is a time-consuming – end energy-consuming – process. So, could there be a better way to look at training our AI systems? Well, one possible option is physics-based AI, where training is viewed as an energy grid, and the best possible route though that grid mapped to find outputs. It's a novel way of thinking, but it could change our whole approach to AI.Joining us again today to find out more is Ray Beausoleil, a physicist, senior fellow and senior vice president at HPE. He leads the large scale integrated photonics lab at Hewlett Packard Labs. This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

There are math problems that are hard. So hard that even current computers cannot solve them. To get around these problems, we need to re-think the very foundation of how we architect our IT, by using a technological field called 'novel accelerators'.It sounds complicated, but today's guest is particularly skilled at explaining incredibly complicated concepts. He says: "Right now, Generative AI and accelerators are at the forefront of being able to help with these major advances, and the world could change in really significant ways.
