Michel Devoret News Today

Scientists at Quantum Circuits Inc. are working to develop and bring to market the first practical quantum computers. The New Haven-based, nearly decade-old startup, which is rooted in collaborations with Yale University, has taken multiple important steps forward in recent months, as it competes with tech giants like IBM, Google and Amazon to become an industry leader in developing novel quantum computing technology for complex problem-solving.

Measurements of the temperature distribution of quasiparticles in superconducting circuits reveal behavior that could inform strategies for mitigating quasiparticle-induced errors in superconducting qubits.

The National Academy of Sciences recognized Michel Devoret and Robert Schoelkopf for their innovative work in quantum information processing.

Yale’s Robert Schoelkopf, Michel Devoret, and Steven Girvin reflect on their trailblazing approach to quantum computing research.

Anna Marie Pyle, Michel Devoret, and Samuel Moseley were elected to the academy, one of the highest honors bestowed on a U.S. scientist or engineer.

Quantum computing promises to be a revolutionary tool, making short work of equations that classical computers would struggle to ever complete.

Such a device could help address climate change and food scarcity, or break the Internet. Will the U.S. or China get there first?

The phrase "Quantum Leap" may sound like a bit of phony science concocted for one of the Ant-Man films, but it is does have an actual basis in the realm of physics-related academia. It refers to the real-world phenomenon in which an electron suddenly moves between different levels of energy.
