Engineering Quantum Systems News Today

A new technique can generate batches of certain entangled states in a quantum processor. This advance could help scientists study the fundamental quantum property of entanglement and enable them to build larger and more complex quantum processors.

Boston MA (SPX) Sep 26, 2023 - In the future, quantum computers may be able to solve problems that are far too complex for todays most powerful supercomputers. To realize this promise, quantum versions of error correction codes

MIT researchers' advances help bring quantum error correction a step closer to reality and make them almost 100% accurate.

MIT researchers developed a superconducting qubit architecture that can perform operations between qubits with much higher accuracy than scientists have yet been able to achieve. Utilizing a superconducting qubit called fluxonium, the architecture is scalable and could be used to build a large-scale quantum computer.

MIT researchers report they have demonstrated a novel superconducting qubit architecture that can perform operations between qubits with greater accuracy, [...]

MIT student and Brazil native Thomas Bergamaschi spent four years learning how to solve problems as an undergraduate researcher in the Engineering Quantum Systems (EQUS) laboratory.

Researchers developed a special type of amplifier that uses a technique known as squeezing to amplify quantum signals by a factor of 100 while reducing the noise that is inherent in quantum systems by an order of magnitude. Their device is the first to demonstrate squeezing over a broad frequency bandwidth of 1.75 gigahertz, nearly two orders of magnitude higher than other architectures.

MIT researchers have taken the first step toward extensible quantum interconnects, which could help connect large-scale devices.

Quantum computers hold the promise of performing certain tasks that are intractable even on the world’s most powerful supercomputers. In the future, scientists anticipate using quantum computing to emulate materials systems, simulate quantum chemistry, and optimize hard tasks, with impacts potentially spanning finance to pharmaceuticals.
