We have a 433 and an H2! This week we had two great additions to the hardware scene. We have seen theoretical discussions range from the realistic attainment of quantum advantage, where quantum computers significantly outperform classical ones, as well as the potential of symmetric graphene quantum dots as future qubits. On the geopolitical front, there's an emphasis on the need for the US to establish a coordinated quantum programme to compete in the global quantum race, particularly against China. Other articles also highlight Europe's efforts towards quantum computing supremacy.Quantinuum has released the H2 achieved the creation and manipulation of non-Abelian anyons, a vital step towards fault-tolerant quantum computing. IBM has also been in the spotlight. First, they finally released the Osprey chip on “ibm_seattle” (with some interesting error distributions). But also investing in QunaSys to develop quantum computing application services and creating technical services for a transition to quantum-safe cryptography. Physicists have successfully created long-sought topological quantum states, and an experiment involving superconducting qubits has confirmed (AGAIN, sorry Albert) that quantum mechanics violates local realism.
