QuickBits -- Jellybeans and Chips. Interesting Turns to Interest. And More news in quantum!
The Quantum Insider
Making Quantum Technology accessible through media, news, insights and data
Lots of good feedback is emerging from The Economist 's 2nd annual Commercialising Quantum Global 2023.
The one overall theme is the -- maybe not broad -- but broadening interest in quantum from multiple disciplines and fields. In order to sustain that interest, companies within quantum will need to deliver results dependably. A host of stories this week indicate that organizations are ready to offer those guarantees.
Examples from just this week:
We will need to measure our results, and those measurements must be reliable.
France's BACQ benchmarking project will develop an instrument to measure the practical performance of quantum computing that is reliable and objective.
Congrats to Cerra Magnetics for winning the inaugural qBIG prize-- it's a company that shows WHY interest is spreading across industries. In this case, Cerra is developing quantum-enabled brain imaging products.

Quantum Quotes
One of my science heroes is Clarice D. Aiello, who heads the Quantum Biology Tech (QuBiT) Lab and is an assistant professor at UCLA. Aiello has a deep passion for quantum biology -- and its potential. She wrote a piece for The Conversation this week and you get a deep sense that this is a call-to-action to explore quantum biology.
"The tantalizing possibility that subtle quantum effects can tweak biological processes presents both an exciting frontier and a challenge to scientists. Studying quantum mechanical effects in biology requires tools that can measure the short time scales, small length scales and subtle differences in quantum states that give rise to physiological changes – all integrated within a traditional wet lab environment." -- Clarice D. Aiello
耶鲁大学 and the University of Connecticut will use a $1 million planning grant to propose Connecticut as a regional hub for quantum. The area has the most important building block for creating a quantum ecosystem -- not cryogenic fridges, not golden chandeliers and elaborate wiring, not clean rooms in fancy labs -- although they have plenty of them. They have the brainpower necessary to build a quantum workforce capable of sustaining that ecosystem.
“Our workforce in Connecticut is the best educated and most talented in the nation, trained with the modern skills needed to make the United States an international leader in the research and development of the emerging field of quantum technology." -- Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont
Quantum Research
A team of UNSW Sydney researchers made an important advance in quantum silicon chips by creating a design that will allow for more qubits. The quantum dot design -- which evocatively and deliciously looks like a jelly bean -- will offer more room for the perhaps billions of qubits that will be needed in these silicon microchips.
The researchers reported their findings in Advanced Materials.

While we are in the early stages of finding and exploring use cases. The number of those use cases is expanding and the number of companies and organizations who want to investigate whether quantum computing will help their operations is expanding quickly. When quantum advantage comes, that number will expand exponentially. The Quantum Insider's Intelligence Platform helps your teams explore who these early adopters are and how they envision quantum intersecting with their business processes.

Governments undertaking national quantum initiatives face several technological and infrastructure challenges. After all, these guided initiatives require significant investment and a capable national body willing to lead the effort and collaborate with academia, industry, and other public institutions. Moreover, governments must make critical decisions about research, human capital, industry participants, and market opportunities to ensure the success of these initiatives.

?Eviden, the 源讯 business leading in digital, cloud, big data and security, launched Qaptiva, its new Quantum Computing offering to enable real world application development and usage, using best-of-breed quantum computing technologies.
Quantum computing is expected to revolutionize multiple technical fields and activity sectors, from optimization in logistics or in finance, to simulation for research, engineering or industry, passing through cryptography.
The silicon microchips of future quantum computers will be packed with millions, if not billions of qubits – the basic units of quantum information – to solve the greatest problems facing humanity. And with millions of qubits needing millions of wires in the microchip circuitry, it was always going to get cramped in there.
ETH Zurich researchers have succeeding in demonstrating that quantum mechanical objects that are far apart can be much more strongly correlated with each other than is possible in conventional systems. For this experiment, they used superconducting circuits for the first time.
Imagine using your cellphone to control the activity of your own cells to treat injuries and disease. It sounds like something from the imagination of an overly optimistic science fiction writer. But this may one day be a possibility through the emerging field of quantum biology.
