The future of quantum computing could be right here in Virginia – CBS 6 News Richmond WTVR
Posted: at 2:04 pm
RICHMOND, Va. -- Quantum computers in their current state are, according to researchers, 'clunky and buggy.' But the future of the computers could be discovered right here in the Commonwealth.
The U.S. Department on Energy has enlisted Virginia Tech's Sophia Economou and her collaborators to gauge the status and identify possible application areas for the existing technology.
Quantum computers are still not the way we envision them in their final form as robust, universal machines that can implement algorithms of practical interest, said Economou, the Marshall T. Hahn Chair in Physics at Virginia Tech. They're still at a very primitive stage.
Quantum computers process information in a different way than computers that you would use today. But their differences allow the quantum machines to run, "...algorithms for certain types of computations incredibly fast," Virginia Tech explained in a release.
Economous joint project is part of a larger $12 million Department of Energy campaign with funding for six collaborative projects looking for answers as to, 'What are the physical limits of quantum processors,' and 'How can we use the devices to move our understanding as to when quantum computers can be used.'
We want to know how we can put these quantum computers to work before we have these large-scale powerful machines, Economou said. And, in doing so, we can understand more about how we can actually achieve their full potential.

A breakthrough boosts quantum on the Hill – POLITICO
Posted: at 2:04 pm

Researchers made a potentially major breakthrough in quantum computing last week, nudging the technology ever-so-gradually toward the concrete from the conceptual.
A team of scientists announced a major advancement in the development of error correction, the process of fighting the subatomic deterioration that makes most quantum computers today unhelpful for more than research purposes. The commercial quantum company QuEra Computing said it achieved a significant leap, in cooperation with Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a joint program between the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the University of Maryland.
The wider quantum community met the results with cautious excitement: Assuming the result stands, I think its plausibly the top experimental quantum computing advance of 2023, Scott Aaronson, a computer scientist and director of the University of Texas at Austins Quantum Information Center, wrote on his blog.
The researchers technical achievement is very, very wonky, so Ill leave it to their manuscript in Nature (or Aaronsons helpful blog entry) to explain further details to the interested reader. Suffice to say, it seems to be a big deal and one that comes just as Congress weighs the reauthorization of the National Quantum Initiative Act, which partially funded this very experiment and is currently up for its first five-year extension since former President Donald Trump signed the original bill into law in 2018.
As we noted amid last weeks big push from IBM, this is exactly the kind of news researchers love to show Washington as proof of concept for continued funding and support.
For that legislation to pass, the goal is for it to be as uncontroversial and as proven as possible, and a recent breakthrough certainly provides a useful talking point, said Adam Kovacevich, founder and CEO of the Chamber of Progress, a center-left tech industry coalition. But that doesnt mean its a lock for future funding. At the end of November the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology passed the bill, but the House of Representatives did not attach it to the National Defense Authorization Act just passed this afternoon. (The next opportunity to tack quantum to a major spending bill will come next month, when Congress must approve the federal appropriations bill it partially punted on in November.)
Partisan rancor could threaten the otherwise good vibes surrounding quantum and other tech innovations in Washington not to mention another oxygen-thirsty topic you might have heard of called artificial intelligence.
Garnering attention for quantum in the current tech policy landscape dominated by AI remains an uphill battle, and navigating this environment to secure sufficient recognition and resources for quantum is proving a difficult task, Hodan Omaar, a senior policy analyst at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, a tech-friendly think tank, told me. Omaar wrote a report in October on the past, present and future of American quantum policy and told POLITICO the NQIA will not be assured until it crosses the Resolute Desk.
Still, she added, These sorts of breakthroughs dont hurt.
The European Union might need to shore up its regulatory and intellectual firepower if its going to enforce the forthcoming AI Act.
POLITICOs Mark Scott makes that argument in todays edition of the Digital Bridge newsletter, writing that the EUs strategy, which lacks details about funding and enforcement, is based on a false promise that theres enough technical skill, financial resources and regulatory capacity to both keep track of existing models and keep ahead of what is to come.
If recent history has taught us anything, that is wishful thinking, Mark writes, citing continuing issues with enforcing Europes General Data Protection Regulation. I want budget numbers. I want figures on new regulatory hires. I want an explanation of how these agencies will push back against companies transparency reports that may, or may not, be accurate.
A new AI Office at the European Commission will be responsible for setting these terms, but as Mark also points out, no budget has yet been set for it.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission approved a plan Wednesday for crypto asset exchange Bitnomial to expand in a manner that remarkably resembles the ambitions of former crypto hub FTX.
POLITICOs Zach Warmbrodt reported on the developments in todays Morning Money newsletter, writing that the move is raising alarm bells at the CFTC, including from Christy Goldsmith Romero, the lone commissioner to oppose the move.
We should learn the lesson from our consideration of FTXs application that also sought to change the traditional market structure, Romero told Zach, arguing that the CFTC should make sure it thoroughly vets Bitnomial for the kind of risk that toppled FTX.
CFTC Chair Rostin Behnam said the agency would take a closer look at policy concerns next year, but that it was legally obligated to act on Bitnomials application now. Zach points out that the move is a striking contrast with the leader of the CFTCs sister agency, SEC Chair Gary Gensler, whose efforts to police the digital asset industry have triggered lawsuits and enshrined him as Washingtons chief crypto antagonist.

Researchers create first logical quantum processor – Harvard Office of Technology Development
Posted: at 2:04 pm
Harvard researchers have realized a key milestone in the quest for stable, scalable quantum computing, an ultra-high-speed technology that will enable game-changing advances in a variety of fields, including medicine, science, and finance.
The team, led by Mikhail Lukin, the Joshua and Beth Friedman University Professor in physics and co-director of the Harvard Quantum Initiative, has created the first programmable, logical quantum processor, capable of encoding up to 48 logical qubits, and executing hundreds of logical gate operations, a vast improvement over prior efforts.
Published in Nature, the work was performed in collaboration with Markus Greiner, the George Vasmer Leverett Professor of Physics; colleagues from MIT; and QuEra Computing, a Boston company founded on technology from Harvard labs.
The system is the first demonstration of large-scale algorithm execution on an error-corrected quantum computer, heralding the advent of early fault-tolerant, or reliably uninterrupted, quantum computation.
"I think this is one of the moments in which it is clear that something very special is coming"
Mikhail Lukin, Joshua and Beth Friedman University Professor in Physics
Lukin described the achievement as a possible inflection point akin to the early days in the field of artificial intelligence: the ideas of quantum error correction and fault tolerance, long theorized, are starting to bear fruit.
I think this is one of the moments in which it is clear that something very special is coming, Lukin said. Although there are still challenges ahead, we expect that this new advance will greatly accelerate the progress toward large-scale, useful quantum computers.
Denise Caldwell of the National Science Foundation agrees.
"The team has not only accelerated the development of quantum information processing by using neutral atoms, but opened a new door to explorations of large-scale logical qubit devices, which could enable transformative benefits for science and society as a whole."
Caldwell, acting assistant director of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate
This breakthrough is a tour de force of quantum engineering and design, said Caldwell, acting assistant director of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate, which supported the research through NSFs Physics Frontiers Centers and Quantum Leap Challenge Institutes programs. The team has not only accelerated the development of quantum information processing by using neutral atoms, but opened a new door to explorations of large-scale logical qubit devices, which could enable transformative benefits for science and society as a whole.
Its been a long, complex path.
In quantum computing, a quantum bit or qubit is one unit of information, just like a binary bit in classical computing. For more than two decades, physicists and engineers have shown the world that quantum computing is, in principle, possible by manipulating quantum particles be they atoms, ions, or photons to create physical qubits.
But successfully exploiting the weirdness of quantum mechanics for computation is more complicated than simply amassing a large-enough number of qubits, which are inherently unstable and prone to collapse out of their quantum states.
The real coins of the realm are so-called logical qubits: bundles of redundant, error-corrected physical qubits, which can store information for use in a quantum algorithm. Creating logical qubits as controllable units like classical bits has been a fundamental obstacle for the field, and its generally accepted that until quantum computers can run reliably on logical qubits, the technology cant really take off.
To date, the best computing systems have demonstrated one or two logical qubits, and one quantum gate operation akin to just one unit of code between them.
The Harvard teams breakthrough builds on several years of work on a quantum computing architecture known as a neutral atom array, pioneered in Lukins lab. It is now being commercialized by QuEra, which recently entered into a licensing agreement with Harvards Office of Technology Development for a patent portfolio based on innovations developed by Lukins group.
The key component of the system is a block of ultra-cold, suspended rubidium atoms, in which the atoms the systems physical qubits can move about and be connected into pairs or entangled mid-computation.
Entangled pairs of atoms form gates, which are units of computing power. Previously, the team had demonstrated low error rates in their entangling operations, proving the reliability of their neutral atom array system.
With their logical quantum processor, the researchers now demonstrate parallel, multiplexed control of an entire patch of logical qubits, using lasers. This result is more efficient and scalable than having to control individual physical qubits.
We are trying to mark a transition in the field, toward starting to test algorithms with error-corrected qubits instead of physical ones, and enabling a path toward larger devices, said paper first author Dolev Bluvstein, a Griffin School of Arts and Sciences Ph.D. student in Lukins lab.
The team will continue to work toward demonstrating more types of operations on their 48 logical qubits and to configure their system to run continuously, as opposed to manual cycling as it does now.
The work was supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency through the Optimization with Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum devices program; the Center for Ultracold Atoms, a National Science Foundation Physics Frontiers Center; the Army Research Office; the joint Quantum Institute/NIST; and QuEra Computing.
