PsiQuantum’s Post

The exciting news for Chicago's South Works latest development is tempered by the issue of Moral Hazard- Capital($) is mobile and can easily move to new locations, while the negative effects of pollution remain localized. As many in Chicago or Gary know, the Janus faced legacy of the steel industry - economic development & environmental degradation ; the negative effects and costs of pollution lag and linger after the company is no longer a going concern. Across the "rust belt" the costs become the burden of local residents and taxing authorities that are "place-bound". After reading this article on the proposed Quantum Computing Hub: https://lnkd.in/gxqfcmmW The answer to the question, "Is further remediation necessary?" , remains unclear. In the piece Tim O'Connell VP of Marketing at CRG refers to a 1997 "No Further Remediation Notice" however, in 2016 the previous developer abandoned the site citing unknown remediation costs, however the article states in August 2023 the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity provides a $2.2M grant for remediation, - clarification is needed on this point- Is remediation required, scheduled or not part of the new plan? PsiQuantum what is the vision or requirements to protect and improve the environment- as this is a restored brownfield? Residents and stakeholders should be aware of and understand the potential environmental impacts of this operation and how they will be mitigated. Not long ago in collective memory residents of the South East side of Chicago were faced with problems related to coke ash blowing in the wind - an industrial by-product with negative externalities borne by the community. Looking toward the future and opportunities to leverage the world class talent and resources of Chicagoland, Area Development, Intersect Illinois - Where can one learn about the infrastructure needed to build and operate the proposed Quantum Computing facility? Or PsiQuantum, can you provide more information on the power demand of this facility and how it will be met individually by each firm or as a collective?

BIG boost for Illinois to become the nation's quantum hub as Gov. JB Pritzker and Intersect Illinois announced the launch of the Quantum Proving Ground in collaboration with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). This collaboration represents a major investment from DARPA and its federal partners, matched by the State of Illinois, over the next five years to test and evaluate quantum computing. DARPA has a proven history of making crucial early investments in cutting-edge technologies at the earliest stages, such as the internet. Quantum is the next major shift in computing — exponentially faster and far more secure than current technology — which can accelerate drug discovery and biopharmaceutical cures for diseases.

🚀 New Joint Lab is opened! Together with RWTH Aachen University and Forschungszentrum Jülich we have taken our collaboration to the next level with the official opening of a Joint Lab on semiconductor-based quantum computing in Frankfurt (Oder). This lab focuses on advancing scalable quantum computer architectures and enhancing spin-based qubit technologies. During the opening, Prof Dr Hendrik Bluhm, alongside Dr Lars Schreiber (RWTH Aachen) and Dr. Vincent Mourik (FZ Jülich), presented the state-of-the-art research that will be crucial for the development of next-gen quantum technologies. Also, Prof Dr Gerhard Kahmen stressed the potential of quantum technologies, particularly Si/SiGe-based approaches, to solve complex, previously unsolvable problems. The Joint Lab is fully equipped with top-notch infrastructure for fabricating quantum devices, including the first successfully tested silicon quantum wells. Dr. Marvin H. Zöllner, coordinator of the lab, highlighted its role in driving forward innovations in preparation for the Quantum Year 2025. This partnership aims to unlock the potential of quantum computing to tackle real-world problems by scaling up to millions of qubits. Yes, the aim is very ambitious but we are optimistic to reach it together with the enthusiastic colleagues from the Joint Lab.

We are grateful to share a summary of our collaborative work on Quantum Computing and Optimization for Smart Radio Environments, with Gabriele Gradoni, colleagues Amitava Ghosh, Fred Vook, and students Charles Ross, Qi Jian Lim, Emanuel Colella. The work is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and Nokia. Together, we explore the potential of quantum-based and quantum-inspired optimization algorithms to address the complex optimization challenges in smart radio environments, contributing to more efficient and adaptive wireless systems. Below is a list of our recent papers: A basic introduction to quantum annealing for engineering metasurfaces: https://lnkd.in/gu_BMFVr A discussion of quantum-assisted combinatorial optimization for reconfigurable surfaces: https://lnkd.in/gyUUq9dP https://lnkd.in/g-wqUr-9 https://lnkd.in/ge6Qygds https://lnkd.in/graS7QFv Hybrid Classical-Quantum Computing Framework for RIS-assisted Smart Radio Environments: https://lnkd.in/gYhXv3C9 Quantum-inspired algorithm for Array Synthesis and Optimization: https://lnkd.in/g-ksVxQW We are thankful for the opportunity to collaborate with such talented colleagues and are proud of the student’s contributions.

Colorado has been designated as a regional hub for #quantumtechnology by the U.S. government, joining other states in the quest to support the growth of quantum technology and ensure competitiveness in this emerging field. A recent article from Colorado Public Radio provides an overview of the potential applications of quantum technology, including more secure communication networks and more powerful computers, as well as the challenges and opportunities for Colorado's quantum industry. The article gives a great overview of the technical aspects of quantum machines and what is needed to make sure they operate efficiently. We're still in our early days, and as Lincoln Carr states, "We could be focusing on the wrong tree in a very big forest right now." None the less, exciting times for #Colorado as it continues to thrive in the #quantum space. Check out the article here: https://lnkd.in/g7TiQyMf
