The University of Oxford research group led by OQC CSO Dr. Peter Leek today announced research demonstrating a fundamental speedup of the controlled-Z gate in superconducting qubits reaching a fidelity of 99.8% in only 25 ns.

AIST researchers have developed a technique to evaluate the electrical properties of radio-frequency (RF) substrate materials under cryogenic conditions. They have developed a technique to evaluate the electrical properties of substrate materials in cryogenic environments.

In quantum technology applications such as quantum computing, light plays a central role in encoding and transmitting information. NTU researchers have recently made breakthroughs in manipulating light that could potentially usher in the era of quantum computing.

OQC, a global leader in quantum computing solutions and spin-out from Oxford University’s Department of Physics, today announced the appointment of Dr Peter Leek as Chief Scientific Officer. Leek, the visionary behind OQC’s core technology, will lead the company’s scientific research operations and spearhead its global research programmes.
