Read MoreThis Machine Learning Algorithm Allows for Efficient and Accurate Verification of Quantum Devices
Technologies that exploit unique quantum mechanical behaviours are likely to become mainstream in the near future. Devices that utilise quantum information as input and output data, for example, may need thorough verification owing to inherent uncertainties. When the output of a device is time dependent and depends on previous inputs, verification becomes more difficult. For the first time, researchers utilising machine learning increased the efficiency of verification for time-dependent quantum devices by adding a memory effect found in these systems. Although quantum computers have made headlines in the scientific press,…

Read MoreMIT Quantum covid sensor: Faster & cheaper detection
A novel approach to testing for the presence of the virus that causes Covid-19 may result in tests that are faster, less expensive, and potentially less prone to mistakes than current detection methods. Though the work, which is based on quantum effects, is still theoretical, the researchers believe that these detectors could be adapted to detect virtually any virus. Changhao Li, an MIT doctoral student, Paola Cappellaro, a professor of nuclear science and engineering and physics, and Rouholla Soleyman and Mohammad Kohandel of the University of Waterloo describe the new…
