Insider Brief: The atomic clock embodied quantum principles long before “qubit” was a household term, laying quiet groundwork for the second quantum revolution. In the mid-1990s, NIST’s ion trap work for clocks unintentionally mirrored the architecture needed for quantum logic gates, catalyzing the first demonstration of entangled qubit control. Proposed Read more…
Insider Brief QuEra Computing has deployed its first quantum computer outside its labs at Japan’s AIST in Tsukuba, marking a milestone in Japan’s national quantum strategy and supporting the new G-QuAT quantum-AI research center. The gate-based neutral-atom system is co-located with the ABCI-Q supercomputer, forming a hybrid quantum-classical platform aimed Read more…
Insider Brief Q-CTRL has demonstrated long-range entanglement and high-fidelity quantum operations by combining error suppression and error detection without full logical encoding. The company implemented a long-range CNOT gate with over 85% fidelity across 40 lattice sites and created a 75-qubit GHZ state with genuine multipartite entanglement using resource-efficient error-detection Read more…
