Getting to know Quantum Fourier Transform
Autor : Phd. Hamza Jaffali, Researcher at ColibrITD Joseph Fourier (1768 –1830) is a french mathematician and physicist. He is known for having determined, by calculus, the heat diffusion by using the decomposition of an arbitrary function thanks to his famous Fourier...
Quantum Entanglement: how to classify it?
Autor : Phd. Hamza Jaffali, Researcher at ColibrITD What is Quantum Entanglement? Quantum Entanglement … what a mysterious phenomenon. It happens at the subatomic scale and has no equivalent in the macroscopic world. It has historically been questioned and formalized...
Quantum Machine Learning: A quick overview
Autor : Phd. Hamza Jaffali, Researcher at ColibrITD Introduction The goal of Machine Learning is to teach the machine how to perform a specific task, without providing explicit instructions. It is divided in three main families: supervised learning (teaching by...
Quantum supremacy? Not so fast.
Autor : Phd. Jonas Araujo, Researcher at ColibrITD When Google claimed quantum supremacy with its 53-qubit quantum processing unit [1], IBM challenged it claiming that “[quantum supremacy] has not been met” [2]. They argued that a classical computer could solve the...
STAR WARS: IBM, AMAZON, and ATOS for Hybrid Quantum Algorithms: Fighting for Solving Differential Equations
Autor : Gozde Ustun, Researcher at ColibrITD Introduction Nowadays, there is a big competition in the quantum computation area since quantum computation is blooming. In the beginning, everything was simpler than today. People were just trying to build their own...
Ways for Quantum Computing to help fight climate change
Autor : Phd. Marta Reina, Researcher at ColibrITD The biggest battle we will be, despite ourselves, forced to win in the forthcoming years will be against climate change.World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that between 2030 and 2050 climate change will cause...
What stands in the way of variational quantum algorithms toward the quantum advantage
Autor : PhD. Nadia Milazzo, Researcher at ColibrITD We are living in the exciting era of the first available quantum computers, complex devices which aim at tackling problems by playing by the rules of quantum mechanics. Although still imperfect (too small, too noisy,...
Not all cats are grey at night — comparing different qubit technologies
Author : Dr. Jonas Araujo Sci-fi movies often drop names to sound more sciency. Take Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: In 2 hours, the word quantum is spoken (out of context) 22 times [1], but putting quantum in front of everything does not cut it. What does...
