- Quantum Hardware Outlook 2020
2019 saw Google finally demonstrate quantum supremacy. Competitors such as IBM reminded us that this was just an opening skirmish in what will be a long campaign. In 2020 we will see paths divide as competing companies and technologies face-up to the quantum chasm blocking the way to large scale ... read more - Brexit and the Quantum Landscape
The arrival of Boris Johnson in Downing Street makes a hard Brexit ending more likely. To understand the impact this will have on the science and innovation landscape and quantum technology in particular, we have to look beyond the immediate disruptions and understand how the thinking of the political right ... read more - Europe’s drive to create wealth from Quantum Technology
The focus of the EU’s €1b Quantum Flagship programme is not basic science, nor is it simply about bringing new technologies to market. The end-goal is driving wealth creation, jobs and societal benefits in Europe. This requires kick-starting the competitive position of European industry in this sector and making Europe ... read more

- Changes to Silicon Quantum Computing’s ProgramSilicon Quantum Computing (SQC) wishes to announce it has taken steps to refine and focus its technology development program to ensure it delivers on its objective of creating a ten (10) qubit silicon quantum processor prototype by 2023 and on its plans to bring commercially useful quantum computing to market. ... read more
- Steered quantum coherence as a signature of quantum phase transitions in spin chains. (arXiv:2003.02991v1 [quant-ph])We propose to use the steered quantum coherence (SQC) as a signature of quantum phase transitions (QPTs). By considering various spin chain models, including the transverse-field Ising model, textit{XY} model, and textit{XX} model with three-spin interaction, we showed that the SQC and its first-order derivative succeed in signaling different critical ... read more

- Turbo, An Improved Rainbow Colormap for Visualization
Posted by Anton Mikhailov, Senior Software Engineer, Daydream False color maps show up in many applications in computer vision and machine learning, from visualizing depth images to more abstract uses, such as image differencing. Colorizing images helps the human visual system pick out detail, estimate quantitative values, and notice patterns ... read more - Imaging Nematic Transitions in Iron-Pnictide Superconductors with a Quantum Gas. (arXiv:1907.12601v1 [cond-mat.str-el])The SQCRAMscope is a recently realized Scanning Quantum CRyogenic Atom Microscope that utilizes an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate to measure magnetic fields emanating from solid-state samples. The quantum sensor does so with unprecedented DC sensitivity at micron resolution from room-to-cryogenic temperatures. An additional advantage of the SQCRAMscope is the preservation of ... read more
- Off-Policy Classification – A New Reinforcement Learning Model Selection Method
Posted by Alex Irpan, Software Engineer, Robotics at GoogleReinforcement learning (RL) is a framework that lets agents learn decision making from experience. One of the many variants of RL is off-policy RL, where an agent is trained using a combination of data collected by other agents (off-policy data) and data ... read more
