WHAT IS ENTANGLEMENT? 🔬

As a news junkie I wanted to periodically have a place to publish my take on a minimalist’s perspective on Quantum News. This is thus a new column in Quantum Foundry, at the top of the home page. You can bookmark this page if it appeals to you.

💫 Quantum machine Borealis achieves computational advantage using programmable photonic sensor

• A team of researchers from Xanadu in Canada and the National Institutes of Standards and Technology, in the U.S., is claiming that their quantum computer, Borealis, has achieved computational advantage in taking on the boson sampling challenge. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the group describes their computer and how well it performed when tackling the challenge. Read more….

❄️ Two Time Crystals Have Been Successfully Linked Together For The First Time

• Physicists have just taken an amazing step towards quantum devices that sound like something out of science fiction.

For the first time, isolated groups of particles behaving like bizarre states of matter known as time crystals have been linked into a single, evolving system that could be incredibly useful in quantum computing.

Time crystals, only officially discovered and confirmed a few years ago in 2016, were once thought to be physically impossible. Read more…

🌈 QphoX and QuantWare Partner on Networked Quantum Processors

• QphoX, developer of microwave to optical quantum modems, and QuantWare, a leading provider of superconducting quantum processors, have joined forces on a collaboration to build a new quantum interface to enable more efficient and scalable means for networking superconducting quantum processors.

🐱 Maryland-based Quantum C-Cat Launches to Create Quantum Tech Start-ups

• A new company in the heart of Maryland’s research corridor, Quantum Catalyzer (Q-Cat), is on a mission — to create and grow successful quantum technology start-ups. Read more…

Researchers Teleport Quantum Information Across Quantum Network

May 29th, 2022.

• Researchers in Delft have succeeded in teleporting quantum information across a rudimentary network. This first of its kind is an important step towards a future quantum internet. This breakthrough was made possible by a greatly improved quantum memory and enhanced quality of the quantum links between the three nodes of the network. Read more…

Xanadu’s Borealis Processor and Classiq’s Quantum Algorithm Design Platform Are Now Integrated with Amazon Braket

• As it is a different type of quantum processor based upon Qumodes, it will need to be programmed by Xanadu’s own Strawberry Fields software. As mentioned in the previous article, this device has demonstrated quantum supremacy using a Gaussian Boson Sampling (GBS) demonstration and it does represent the first publicly available machine that has achieved this. AWS has published a blog that describes the machine with a nice summary of the GBS experiment along with a short tutorial on how to program it. You can find the blog posted on the AWS website here.

Classiq has also announced that it has integrated support for AWS Braket in its Quantum Algorithm Design Platform. Braket is one of several backends that Classiq supports as shown in the diagram below.

The integration allows the Classiq platform to be used with any of the gate-based processors attached to Braket, except for the just released Xanadu Borealis processor. The Classiq platform allows users to program their algorithms at a functional level and then have the Classiq software develop an optimized program subject to hardware and other constraints.

Entanglement is written by Michael Spencer, the founder of Quantum Foundry, one of an eclectic series of blogs disguised as Newsletters where I’m blogging like it’s 1995 (27 years later).
