After successfully trapping and addressing 100 qubits in a large, dense 2D cold atom array, ColdQuanta's digital gate-based quantum computer is on track to massively scale qubit count beyond what is possible with other approaches.

The gap in quantum understanding: How to accurately communicate quantum ideas

The gap in quantum understanding: How to accurately communicate quantum ideas

June 24, 2021

As quantum technology is quickly being developed and commercialized, misunderstandings abound in the public sphere. Writers, scientists and citizens need to be aware of how to most effectively communicate an appreciation of the true science of quantum physics.

The case of the missing signal

Entangled photons and the case of the missing signal

June 24, 2021

The Jimenez and Stevens labs at Boulder joined forces to build a state-of-the-art quantum optics laboratory with the goal of understanding why, globally, some labs have found a signal showing entangled photons being absorbed in two-photon absorption, while others haven't.
