Multi-colored photons from off the shelf components can make vastly more powerful quantum systems

October 14, 2017July 9, 2017 by Brian Wang

INRS researchers have achieved a breakthrough in a light-weight photonic system created using on-chip devices and off-the-shelf telecommunications components. They demonstrated that photons can become an accessible and powerful quantum resource when generated in the form of color-entangled quDits. The system uses a small and cost-effective photonic chip fabricated through processes similar to those used …

Towards quantum chemistry on a quantum computer

April 7, 2017January 11, 2010 by Brian Wang

UQ (University of Queensland, Brisbane Australia) physicists and Harvard chemists have teamed up to build a quantum computer that could have profound implications for wider science. Professor Andrew White and colleagues from UQ’s School of Mathematics and Physics, teamed up with researchers from Harvard University, led by Professor Alán Aspuru-Guzik, to tackle the problem of …
