Introducing Women In Quantum Development
Bringing women in quantum research together to form a professional and informal network. With that goal in mind, CWI researcher Stacey Jeffery and colleagues started the WIQD network. WIQD now aims to …
Quantum computers solve convex optimization problems faster
The advantages and limitations of quantum computing over classic computing have become clearer once again. PhD candidate Joran van Apeldoorn shows that a specific type of optimization problem can be solved much …
Theoretical games explore the limits of quantum entanglement
The elusive phenomenon of quantum entanglement could enable unparalleled possibilities, but exactly how powerful are they? CWI researcher Tom Bannink explored cooperative games to assess when entanglement provides an advantage over our …
New protocols can speed up early quantum computers
How can quantum computers perform as many computations as possible within the short lifespan of quantum memory? CWI researcher Koen Groenland developed methods to do so. His results can help improve early …
