Several months into the COVID-19 pandemic, those outside the biomedical community were reminded of a term many likely had not heard since their biology courses in their teenage years: messenger RNA, or mRNA. mRNA is normally involved in transcribing and translating...

The past several years have been an exciting time in quantum computing. Billions of dollars have been invested, and there’s no shortage of advocates and detractors. Activity and momentum across the quantum community continue to grow. For proof, there have been a lot...

For all of its politeness, a fascinating panel on the last day of SC22 – Quantum Computing: A Future for HPC Acceleration? – mostly served to illustrate the wariness of quantum computing felt by significant portions of the HPC community and the enthusiasm felt by...

Researchers at Penn Engineering have created a chip that outstrips the security and robustness of existing quantum communications hardware. Their technology communicates in “qudits,” doubling the quantum information space of any previous on-chip laser. Source: Devorah...

The Sun is much more than just a source of light for Earth – it’s a dynamic and complex star, with storms, flares, and movement causing it to change constantly. Magnetic fields govern most of the solar activity we can observe but how they do this is still poorly...

Quantum computers promise significantly shorter computing times for complex problems. But there are still only a few quantum computers worldwide with a limited number of so-called qubits. However, quantum computer algorithms can already run on conventional servers...

Whether developing new technologies for landing on other planets, improving air travel here at home, or more realistically simulating global weather and climate, supercomputing is key to the success of NASA missions. These advances and more were on display in the...

For the first time, scientists have entangled atoms for use as networked quantum sensors, specifically, atomic clocks and accelerometers. The research team’s experimental setup yielded ultraprecise measurements of time and acceleration. Compared to a similar setup...

Quantum memory devices can store data as quantum states instead of binary states, as classical computer memories do. While some existing quantum memory technologies have achieved highly promising results, several challenges will need to be overcome before they can be...

With atomic precision, scientists built a testbed to manipulate electrons in entirely new ways with potential applications in quantum computing. Electrons are tiny objects that can carry electricity and information across materials and between devices. They are often...

Nanoengineers at the University of California San Diego’s Jacobs School of Engineering have developed an AI algorithm that predicts the structure and dynamic properties of any material—whether existing or new—almost instantaneously. Known as M3GNet, the algorithm was...

There are close to five to six quantum computing technologies being developed, and they all require different levels of expertise or optimization on the top of the system, Jim Clarke, director of quantum hardware at Intel Labs, told HPCwire. The post Quantum Riches...
