- Quantum Algorithms Outlook 2020
Contrary to many reports there are set be immediate applications even for early devices. Some will be controversial. However in other areas timelines look over-hyped. 2020 will be a key year to prove the naysayers wrong. Will clients see early value? Despite all the fuss, quantum processors actually run more ... read more - Quantum Software Outlook 2020
In 2020 everyone will want to persuade you to join their quantum software camp. Not everyone will come away happy. Huddling round the community fire may be a good way to keep the chills of quantum winter at bay. Making camp Everyone knows how lucrative controlling the software playing field ... read more - Quantum Landscape Outlook 2020
The quantum race is truly underway as regions and nations vie to join the $1 billion club. 2020 will see geopolitical considerations increasingly hard to ignore as major national programmes chart their way forward. 2019 was a year of consolidation for national quantum programmes. Everyone wanted to boast about how ... read more

- Accelerating quantum chemistry
One of the most compelling uses of a quantum computer is to find approximate solutions to the Schrodinger equation. Such ab initio or first-principles calculations form an important part of the computational chemistry tool-kit and are used to understand features ... ... read more - Riverlane and dividiti join forces for quantum hackathon in Paris
Riverlane and dividiti recently had the exciting opportunity to co-organize the first Quantum Hackathon in France, with support from Quantonation and IBM. Around a 100 participants with varying abilities and backgrounds converged at 42 in Paris to take part in ... ... read more - Quantum Computing Conference announcedWe are pleased to announce Quantum Computing Theory in Practice a mayor international conference covering recent advances in quantum computing .

- The Full Quantum Computing Stack
The Full Quantum Computing Stack All classical computers on the planet, from desktop calculators to the most powerful supercomputers, operate under the same rules, those of classical physics. Quantum computers operate on fundamentally different rules and can solve certain problems ... ... read more - Western Europe’s first Quantum Computing Hackathon
We recently hosted our first quantum computing hackathon here in Cambridge, UK, where over 20 keen quantum programmers were given exclusive cloud access to Rigetti’s 8-qubit Agave quantum computer. We had participants with various backgrounds, ranging from secondary school students ... ... read more - New paper on quantum algorithms
There are many quantum algorithms that exhibit an advantage over known classical algorithms. Such a diversity of results can make it difficult to express the computational capability of a quantum computer in a clear and faithful manner to someone new ... ... read more - Variational quantum computation of excited states
Our new paper shows how near-term quantum computers can be used to simulated excited states of molecules. While low-depth quantum algorithms, such as the variational quantum eigenvalue solver (VQE), have been used to determine ground state energies, methods for calculating ... ... read more
