Yesterday, advanced materials developer OTI Lumionics and quantum computing startup Nord Quantique announced a strategic partnership. Specifically, the parties will conduct research collaboration in the fields of electronic structure calculations,  vibronic spectra, and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) using quantum simulations to improve the efficiency of advanced materials development.

A research team from JILA has developed a new method to understand better and control quantum noise, requiring the use of fewer laser pulses and utilizing a mathematical tool called Fourier transform. This new method, known as Fourier Transform Noise Spectroscopy (FTNS), analyzes the noise affecting qubits by focusing on their coherence dynamics, potentially paving the way for significant advancements in quantum computing.
