Algorithms reduce quantum hardware requirement

Researchers from the University of Bristol and quantum start-up, Phasecraft, have discovered algorithms and analysis which significantly lessen the quantum hardware capability needed to solve problems which go beyond the realm of supercomputers. The research demonstrates how optimised quantum algorithms can solve the Fermi-Hubbard model on near-term hardware. The Fermi-Hubbard model is of fundamental importance ...

SWIR sensor has 1.82 µm pixel pitch

Imec has prototyped a high-resolution short-wave-infrared (SWIR) image sensor with record small pixel pitch of 1.82 µm. It is based on a thin-film photodetector that is monolithically integrated on a custom Si-CMOS readout circuit. A fab-compatible process flow paves the way to high-throughput, wafer-level manufacturing. The presented technology largely exceeds the capabilities of today’s InGaAs-based ...
