A great article by Michal on quantum resource estimation, one of the most important topics for corporates playing Q. UNSW Sydney researchers are on the "quantum-calling" as they develop a chip-scale method using OLEDs to transform smartphones into portable quantum sensors. QuEra Computing is "neutralizing" (pun intended) the competition with its collaboration with Harvard and Innsbruck Universities, unveiling a novel method for optimization calculations on neutral-atom machines. Can Quantum Computers find best gate for connecting flights at airports, making sure that quantum computers don't "miss their connection" in the process? (spoiler alert: maybe, but not necessarily better than classical algorithms).Graphene-based quantum circuits are getting an "atomic makeover" with ultra-narrow graphene strips connected by flexible "bridges" to fine-tune electronic properties. Quantum computing received a reality check when a single Nvidia GPU "sped past the speed limit" of a quantum computer, outperforming it in certain tasks. Australia is hopping into the quantum game with its ambitious goal of building the first complete quantum computer, backed by a $1 billion investment. The Trinity Quantum Alliance launched this week in Ireland. Planqc has been awarded a 29 million euro contract to build and install a scalable neutral-atom quantum computer.
