In recent years, many computational tasks have been proposed as candidates for showing a quantum computational advantage, that is, an advantage in the time needed to perform a task using a quantum instead of a classical machine. Nevertheless, the practical demonstration of such advantage has remained an important challenge for many research teams. After Google … Continue reading
Organized by the Institute of Physics and IOP Publishing, in partnership with the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), the Quantum 2020 conference is bringing together the international quantum science community to learn, share, and collaborate on the latest research and emerging areas of high interest. Taking place over four days from Monday … Continue reading
The quantum computer is a game changer. Its arrival signals a paradigm shift in computing, bringing significant benefits & threats. The differentiation between generations of classical computers was based on the size of the processing unit and the speed of each elementary operation. For theoretical computer science, Eniac, the first computer based on vacuum tubes … Continue reading
