You may have seen the headlines about problematic #superconductivity and #QuantumComputing papers. Last week, science writer Sophia Chen traveled to Pittsburgh to watch the condensed matter physics community try to get a handle on the systemic issues behind such retractions.
Interesting development to follow: Researchers from the University of Basel and the NCCR SPIN have achieved the first controllable interaction between two hole spin qubits in a conventional silicon transistor.
These qubits can be manufactured with FinFETs transistors using "classical" silicon fabrication methods, opening up the path to faster scaling than competing architectures.
"Two of the leaders in quantum technologies, Quantinuum and Microsoft, today announced a breakthrough in reducing ‘noise’ that could mean quantum advantage is closer than previously thought."
TNW reports: "When it comes to quantum computing, noise refers to internal and external interference that lead to errors in quantum computations."

Our next face-to-face seminar will take place in Berlin in April. Not an online course... You will be in a small group on site and interact directly with our scientific quantum computing experts.
A controversial new electric propulsion system that seems to defy Newton's laws launched into space aboard SpaceX's Transporter 9 mission on November 11, 2023. Developed by IVO Ltd, the Quantum Drive aims to be the first purely electric, zero-propellant spacecraft engine ever tested in orbit. Its su
Relatively recently, I saw a paper from IBM with something like 635 authors on #QuantumComputing, but now I can't find it. Anybody know what paper I am talking about?
@rdviii and now that big blue has stopped advertising on xitter, they can afford to grow the team and maybe even throw a few more qubits into the cooler!
Over on the bird site, Graeme Smith and others are disparaging the notion of #QuantumComputing degrees, at least for undergraduates. I disagree. I may have to step into that conversation...
@stshank there must be someone that is really off-the-hook at Fujitsu (in a good way). They've always made the wildest stuff. I remember they made fridge-size SPARC machines too.
@sayrer Oh, yeah, those mongo Sparc machines with their own processors — SPARC64 I think they were called? Haven't written about those in probably 15 years. Good times.
I'll give away books and t-shirts at my #Devoxx session on #quantumcomputing with #java on Thursday 11:50. (https://devoxx.be/talk/?id=39135)
Unsure how to do that though. I encourage participation, and I can give a book/t-shirt to a good question/comment.
But I also want to help devs that are more shy, so how should I decide who gets a book/t-shirt?
