We are happy that scientists from Forschungszentrum Jülich have contributed to the theoretical analyses, as part of the Cluster of Excellence ML4Q | Matter and Light for Quantum Computing.

🌟 A Step Closer to Scalable Quantum Computers   Superconducting qubits are a promising platform for quantum information processing. However, scaling up to a full-scale quantum computer requires the interconnection of many qubits with low error rates.   A team of theoretical physicists at Forschungszentrum Jülich in collaboration with an experimental team at Syracuse University, has presented a novel approach using a multimode coupler that allows tunable coupling strength between any pair of qubits. The research, published in PRX Quantum, uses a ring-shaped shared coupler made from a metamaterial transmission line. This design produces a dense frequency spectrum of standing wave resonances near the qubit transition frequency range. The left-handed ring resonator, composed of 24 inductively grounded and capacitively coupled cells, exhibits a dense set of modes above a minimum cut-off frequency, with mode frequencies spreading further apart at higher frequencies.   The system has the potential to be extended to more than two qubits around the ring. This makes it a promising platform for controlling entanglement in large qubit arrays.

Quantum Computing Meets Art 🎨   Yesterday, scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich held their annual meeting on quantum computing. This time, there were not only exciting talks, panel discussions and poster sessions – one highlight was an artwork by Evelina Domnitch and Dmitry Gelfand which will be on display in the foyer of the Forschungszentrum´s library for the next year. Shining through the water’s surface, an expanded laser beam transforms two counter-rotating vortices into a ceiling projection of black holes encircled by shimmering halos. The artwork refers to the mind-bending conjecture of cosmologists who equate wormholes with quantum entanglement.   We were also very happy to have a film crew from DOKUMENTARFILM with us on site. They are making a documentary about quantum computing for cinema and TV, with a focus on research at Forschungszentrum Jülich. #QuantumComputing #QuantumArt

Physicists have long been pursuing the idea of simulating #quantumparticles with a computer that is itself made up of #quantum particles. This is exactly what scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich have done together with colleagues from Slovenia. 👩💻 They used a #quantumannealer to model a real-life #quantummaterial and showed that the quantum #annealer can directly mirror the microscopic interactions of electrons in the material. 💪 The result is a significant advancement in the field, showcasing the practical applicability of quantum computing in solving complex material science problems. Furthermore, the researchers discovered factors that can improve the durability and energy efficiency of quantum memory devices. The findings have been published in Nature Communications.
