In order to improve the computing capabilities of quantum computing systems, the French start-up Siquance thinks that silicon could be the solution. By making a quantum chip by burning silicon, the start-up hopes to make a functional machine. Silicon is the backbone of modern computing, so much so that Silicon Valley, California, owes its name … Read more
IBM has just announced that it has designed a new quantum processor with 433 qubits. baptized Osprey, it has three times more qubits than the IBM Eagle processor unveiled in 2021. Enough to considerably increase the computing power of the system. IBM has been working for years to makequantum computing commercial success, competing with big … Read more
Optical photons are ideal carriers of quantum information. But to work together in a quantum computer or network, they must have the same color – or frequency – and the same bandwidth. Changing the frequency of a photon requires changing its energy, which is particularly difficult on integrated photonic chips. Recently, researchers at the Harvard … Read more

Qubits Pharmaceuticals was created in 2020, its five co-founders come … Read more
Looking to the future: Quantum entanglement would virtually eliminate all security issues facing the modern Internet. That’s the theory, at least. According to new research, there is a (theoretical) way to “steer” entangled photons to avoid loss of information. Professor Mehul Malik has been studying quantum technologies for 15 years. With his team at the … Read more
Recent breakthroughs show how rapidly technology is changing. Quantum computing is no longer a futuristic concept. The world has entered the Quantum Decade, an era where companies are beginning to see the commercial value of quantum computing. Unprecedented advances in hardware, software development and services this year confirm the momentum of the technology, creating an … Read more
Invented in 1970 by Corning Incorporated, low-loss optical fiber has become the best way to efficiently transport information from one location to another over long distances without loss of information. The most common mode of data transmission these days is through conventional fiber optics – a single central channel transmits information. However, with the exponential … Read more
Epita, a renowned school training computer engineers in five years, announced on November 24 the launch of a new major to train specialists in quantum software programming. This specialization will offer 700 hours of teaching spread over 18 months. The school had already been offering a quantum minor for several years, providing 39 hours of … Read more
