Canada Invests in Quantum Computing Applications for Telecom with Launch of New Montreal Quantum Hub
On March 20, 2023, Ericsson Canada announced the launch of a new quantum research hub in Montreal to “explore quantum-based algorithms for accelerating processing in telecom networks and distributed quantum computing” in partnership with the University of Ottawa and the University of Sherbrooke. Four weeks later, the federal government announced a five-year partnership with Ericsson […]
Europe Looking to the Future with Quantum Standards
Technical standards are fundamental to commercialisation of many high-tech industries. Our previous article (linked here) provided a primer to technical standards and how standard essential patents are used and likely to play a role in the quantum commercial landscape. In Europe, CEN (European Committee for Standardization) and CENELEC (European Electrotechnical Committee for Standardization) have formed […]
HRL Laboratories Makes a Major Breakthrough in Practical Quantum Computing
A major breakthrough in quantum computing hardware was achieved this year when HRL Laboratories demonstrated universal control of encoded spin qubits. To explain what this breakthrough means, it’s helpful to review how classical computers work, and the different ways in which quantum computers work. A classical computer uses bits of information coded as 1 or […]
