(a) Fiber spools used for realizing a telescoping suite of fiber connections. (b) entanglement throughput measurements and corresponding capacity estimates by light measurements on a Polatis all-optical switch and at the source and detector.

Scientists Compare Throughput for Quantum vs. Conventional Networks

A comparison of throughput measurements and analytical capacity estimates for quantum networks finds surprising patterns.

Evolution paths of the single control qubit on the Bloch sphere in the hybrid approach to Grover’s algorithm.

Novel Hardware Approach Produces a New Quantum Computing Paradigm

New theoretical approach to quantum computing hardware design via an algorithm avoids some of the complex difficulties in modern quantum computers.
