A large collaboration of scientists, led by Giuseppe Carleo at EPFL has now developed a new benchmark called the "V-score" to tackle this issue. The V-score ("V" for "Variational Accuracy") offers a consistent way to compare how well different quantum methods perform on the same problem. The V-score can be used to identify the hardest-to-solve quantum systems, where current computational methods struggle, and where future methods—such as quantum computing—might offer an advantage.

The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT, President: TOKUDA Hideyuki, Ph.D.), NTT Corporation (NTT, President: Mr. SHIMADA Akira), Tohoku University (President: Dr. TOMINAGA Teiji) and the Tokai National Higher Education and Research System Nagoya University (President: Dr. SUGIYAMA Naoshi) succeeded in developing a new type of superconducting flux qubit that operates in zero magnetic field.

Artilux, the leader of GeSi (germanium-silicon) photonics technology and pioneer of CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) based SWIR (short-wavelength infrared) single photon detection, announces its collaboration with Dr. Richard A. Soref, a renowned expert widely known as the "father of silicon photonics", to jointly investigate the field of quantum information processing based on the integrated silicon photonics platform.

Altair (Nasdaq: ALTR), a global leader in computational intelligence, and researchers from the Technical University of Munich have made a major breakthrough in the field of quantum computing for computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The breakthrough, published in the journal Computer Physics Communications, presents runnable code for quantum computers and quantum simulators that overcomes several key challenges of the quantum computing implementation of the Lattice-Boltzmann Method.
