2024年3月18日 · The 2024 MIT Interdisciplinary Quantum Hackathon, or iQuHACK, brought over 1,200 quantum hackers to work in teams on challenges potentially solvable by the application of quantum computing — from running a quantum-powered dating service, to building an organ donor matching app, to breaking into quantum vaults.
MIT researchers lead high school educational initiative on …
2020年8月10日 · This first-of-its-kind initiative, playfully named “Qubit by Qubit,” aims to introduce high school students to quantum computing through two programs: a week-long summer camp and a year-long course, led respectively by Amir Karamlou and Francisca Vasconcelos of the MIT Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE)’s Engineering Quantum Systems ...
Explained: Quantum engineering - MIT News
2020年12月10日 · Quantum computing, an idea spawned in the 1980s, could one day carry the baton into a new era of powerful high-speed computing. The method uses quantum mechanical phenomena to run complex calculations not feasible for classical computers. In theory, quantum computing could solve problems in minutes that would take classical computers millennia ...
New qubit circuit enables quantum operations with higher accuracy
2023年9月25日 · While there is still much to do to build an extensible quantum computer, it starts with having high-quality quantum operations that are well above threshold.” Building off these results, Ding, Sung, Kannan, Oliver, and others recently founded a quantum computing startup, Atlantic Quantum. The company seeks to use fluxonium qubits to build a ...
Toward a code-breaking quantum computer - MIT News
2024年8月23日 · Quantum ping-pong. To factor a very large number, a quantum circuit would need to run many times, performing operations that involve computing powers, like 2 to the power of 100. But computing such large powers is costly and difficult to perform on a quantum computer, since quantum computers can only perform reversible operations.
Clearing the way toward robust quantum computing - MIT News
2021年6月16日 · Up to this point, only small molecules have been simulated on quantum computers, simulations that can easily be performed on classical computers. “In this sense, our new approach to reduce the two-qubit gate errors is timely in the field of quantum computation and helps address one of the most critical quantum hardware issues today,” he says.
Tiny materials lead to a big advance in quantum computing
The research is published today in Nature Materials. Qubit quandaries. Superconducting qubits, a particular kind of quantum computing platform that uses superconducting circuits, contain inductors and capacitors. Just like in a radio or other electronic device, these capacitors store the electric field energy.
Superconducting qubit foundry accelerates progress in quantum …
2023年7月5日 · Realizing the promise of quantum computing requires fundamental research and experimentation using these and other qubits. But superconducting qubits are tricky to build, and a major barrier for scientists wishing to pursue this research is the expensive tooling and specialized processes needed to fabricate the circuits.
