QunaSys Inc., a leading quantum technology start-up, announced today that it will host a workshop dedicated to exploring potential applications of quantum computing in the field of Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE). The workshop aims to bring together industry professionals and experts to discuss the potential and challenges of leveraging quantum computers to accelerate computational processes in CAE.

Using mathematical concepts first developed for highly specialized calculations in quantum physics and quantum information science, Zapata AI has implemented an innovative alternative to Monte Carlo simulations that dramatically reduces the time required to run these crucial calculations, while reducing their costs as well. In some scenarios, we’ve demonstrated that our method can provide a speed up of over 8,000x the time it takes to run a comparable Monte Carlo simulation using traditional techniques on the same computational hardware.

Scientists from CNR Nanotec in Lecce and the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw used a new generation of semiconductor photonic gratings to optically tailor complexes of quantum droplets of light that became bound together into macroscopic coherent states. The research underpins a new method to simulate and explore interactions between artificial atoms in a highly reconfigurable manner, using optics. The results have been published in the prestigious journal “Nature Physics”

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have used an advanced optical technique to learn more about a quantum material called Ta2NiSe5 (TNS).

The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) has awarded the prestigious Comstock Prize in Physics to Yale researchers Michel Devoret and Robert Schoelkopf for their groundbreaking work in quantum information processing and related fields.

A research team from TU Wien in Vienna (Austria) has now been able to demonstrate theoretically that using a special lens, a single photon emitted by one atom can be guaranteed to be reabsorbed by a second atom. This second atom not only absorbs the photon though, but directly returns it back to the first atom. That way, the atoms pass the photon to each other with pinpoint accuracy again and again—just like in ping-pong.
