By Samuel Horsch and Alexandra De Castro Photons, the tiny particles of light, are the natural carriers of information. Whatever architecture we choose to create a quantum computer, there is no escape: photons must be involved sooner or later. As photons journey through optical fibers and other optical components, each photon carries a risk of…
A “shot” represents the execution of a quantum circuit and the corresponding data collected by the hardware at the output during that single run. Given the probabilistic nature of the system, conducting multiple iterations of the system (obtaining many shots) is necessary to gather data for statistical analysis of the algorithm’s operation.
Are you looking for a way to do more complex computations with a limited photon budget but you find yourself not knowing your photon distribution at the end of your computation? Fear not, we have you covered! Keep reading to discover how to make the most of your photons with our new feature — pseudo…
At Quandela have developed Ascella, a general-purpose single-photon-based quantum computing platform. Ascella is a quantum computer that uses a highly efficient quantum dot single photon source, which functions much like a miniature box that produces single photons on-demand which then go into its universal interferometer to perform the computation and subsequently are detected at the…
What is randomness? And how can we generate it? Both questions — the first mathematical, the second technological — have profound implications in many of today’s industries and our everyday lives. Let’s explore the principles of randomness together, and some new results from Quandela that generate certifiable randomness according to the laws of quantum mechanics.
Summary of the scientific results in the new issue of the journal Nature Photonics ‘High-rate entanglement between a semiconductor spin and indistinguishable photons‘, which represents another “first” in the technological achievements of the quantum computing company Quandela, towards the development of photonic quantum computers.
