The scientists used a mathematical tool called out-of-time-order correlators, or OTOCs, which are considered a measure of quantum chaos. OTOCs were invented 55 years ago to calculate how electrons in superconductors are affected by disturbances caused by impurities. This influence is similar to the “butterfly flapping effect” that mathematician Edward Lorenz used to illustrate chaos … Read more
Quantum computers are devices that use the phenomena of quantum superposition and quantum entanglement to transmit and process data. However, such computers are used only in science, since they are more prone to errors than conventional ones. The company’s engineers said they had achieved error-free quantum computing. Microsoft’s solution was to group physical qubits into … Read more
The BBVA Foundation has announced the selection of five projects under the Fundamentals Program, which highlight the importance of basic science in solving contemporary challenges. Endowed with three million euros (600,000 per project), over a three-year execution period, those selected will address fundamental questions in diverse fields such as physics and chemistry; mathematics, statistics, computer … Read more
2023-12-19 17:30:00 Is quantum computer the new frontier of traditional computing? Gautier Virol, head of the web service at L’Usine Nouvelle and quantum specialist in the editorial office, investigated the subject for several weeks. In this podcast, he returns to the real issues linked to this disruptive technology. […] This article is reserved for our … Read more
2023-12-07 09:00:00 When fundamental research gives birth to an industry. The second revolution in quantum physics laid the foundations for a new field of computing, with increased capabilities. The progress made in recent years has given rise to start-ups and piqued the interest of large industrial groups and States. With the appearance of the first … Read more
2023-12-06 14:00:00 Jean-Sébastien Kersaint Tournebize admits it half-heartedly: in February he joined the first class of Quantum, Epita’s new major focused on quantum technologies, even though the subject had only interested him for a few months. “I sought to find out more when physicist Alain Aspect received a Nobel Prize for his research on quantum … Read more
