Google has put together a secretive team to build the future of quantum tech, called Sandbox. Here’s what we know about it.Sandbox collaborates and shares technical learnings across Alphabet, including with Google’s quantum and AI and Cloud teams, and with various Other Bets. A spokesperson for the X labs said…

Brooks + Scarpa’s Quantum Computing Lab Under Construction in CaliforniaAs the team notes, the center aims to develop “more powerful quantum computing hardware and software, and to identify new applications for quantum technologies. In turn, the experimental and theoretical quantum science and technology lab will be an incubator in the…
Machine learning shows potential to enhance quantum information transfer“We are now exploring paths to implement our machine learning scheme in the Louisiana Optical Network Initiative to make it smart, more secure, and quantum.” Published in Advanced Quantum Technologies, the team demonstrated that machine learning techniques using the self-learning and self-evolving…
Analysing sugar-protein interactions could enable better biologicsArdejani expects that the method will be useful for designing N-glycosylated protein drugs with improved properties, including longer half-lives in the bloodstream, which enables drugs to work more effectively. A natural process called glycosylation, in which glycans attach to molecules, occurs in essentially all…
Quantum Computing and Reinforcement Learning Are Joining Forces to Make Faster AIIn this way, a hybrid reinforcement learning agent alternates between quantum and classical computing, trying out ideas in wibbly-wobbly “multiverse” land while obtaining feedback in grounded, classic physics “normality.” Although only challenged with a “toy problem” in the study,…
New Study Could Lay Foundation for Future Quantum Communication NetworksDr Sara Gamble, Program Manager, Army Research Office Quantum bits, qubits, constitute the fundamental units of quantum information. The researchers developed an experimental set-up including three superconducting qubits in each of two nodes, to send the entangled states via the communication…
Tiniest gravitational field ever created may solve a mystery Einstein couldn’tApart from gravity, the universe is governed by three other fundamental forces: the weak, strong, and electromagnetic forces. What’s new — As it turns out, all they needed to do was build, what the researchers are calling, the tiniest ever…
A Wild Experiment Just Got Us Closer to Exploring Extra DimensionsThe Standard Model of particle physics, a highly corroborated theory that classifies elementary particles and their interactions, can explain the other three forces, but it cannot account for gravity. “From the experimental side, it is a good idea to include…
Microsoft Retracts Paper Claiming Quantum Computing BreakthroughThe team, led by researchers from Microsoft, claimed at the time to have discovered evidence of the “Majorana particle,” named after the famed 1930s Italian physicist Ettore Majorana. According to the retraction published by the authors in Nature, the researchers “unnecessarily corrected” some data…
Xanadu announces programmable photonic quantum chip able to execute multiple algorithmsDAC, digital-to-analogue converter; DAQ, data acquisition; PNR, photon number resolving. d, Photograph of entire system (except for photon-number-resolving detector hardware), which has been fitted into a standard server rack. Programmable four-mode rotation gates (SU(4) transformation, represented by the large boxes…
