ELMSFORD, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SEEQC, the Digital Quantum Computing company, today announced the addition of a scientific advisory board to its leadership. This addition comes at a time when the company is unveiling a new brand identity and expanding its team internationally, including the appointment of Shu-Jen Han as its vice president of engineering.

Scientific Advisory Board

SEEQCs new scientific advisory board consists of leading academics from across the world, including Javad Shabani, assistant professor of physics at NYU, professors from the University of Napoli Federico II, Francesco Tafuri and Giovanni Piero Pepe, and Maxim Vavilov, professor at the University of Wisconsin.

The company instituted this board of quantum scientists to guide SEEQCs team as they continue their mission to solve quantum computings' most challenging problems. The board will help ensure that SEEQC bases its products, research and development on sound scientific data.

By integrating this team of scientists into SEEQCs product roadmap, the company can internally peer-review its research and development and receive feedback and scientific advice more quickly than other commercial entities. This ensures that the company is receiving proper oversight and quality consultation as it advances its technological discoveries expanding quantums reach from academia to real-world application.

The fact that half of my fellow board members work in foreign universities, and many of us have international backgrounds, should not be overlooked. SEEQC is an international company, and it is incorporating that element of itself at every level, said advisory board member, Francesco Tafuri. By bringing together this group of international scientists, SEEQC is getting access to even more experience than by engaging exclusively with American universities. These individuals bring a rich and diverse history of scientific research and experience to the company with them.

Appointing New Vice President of Engineering

In addition to expanding its leadership with the advisory board, SEEQC has also appointed industry veteran Dr. Shu-Jen Han as its vice president of engineering. Han brings more than a decade of experience in the nanotechnology and semiconductor industry to SEEQC, as well as world-class expertise in logic and memory chip-making a critical component of scaling the companys system-on-a-chip quantum design.

Han started his career at IBM working in the semiconductor sector after receiving his Ph.D. from Stanford University, later he managed the nanoscale device and technology group at IBMs T. J. Watson Research Center working on world-leading post-silicon transistor research. Han has valuable experience in advancing complex semiconductor chip technology from basic research to product qualification both as a director and later as senior director at HFC Semiconductors Advanced Memory Technology Division. He has authored over 90 technical publications, two book chapters and over 150 issued US patents.

Were thrilled to formally welcome Shu-Jen to SEEQC, and I am excited by the leadership and expertise hell bring to our global team of quantum engineers and researchers, said John Levy, CEO of SEEQC. Shu-Jen is one of the foremost minds in the semiconductor research and development world were grateful he chose to join SEEQC and our mission to bring scalable quantum computing to the enterprise world.

In his new role, Han will help build a scalable research and development organization, lead SEEQCs multi-disciplinary engineering groups and establish a clear roadmap for its commercialization. He also oversees the day-to-day operations of the companys newly renovated chip foundry, a fully operational chip manufacturing facility focusing on superconducting quantum and classic electronics.

Renewed Brand Commitment

As the company continues to evolve its technology and business model, it is also evolving its unique brand. Under the guidance of its creative director, Fredrik Carlstrm, SEEQC is rededicating itself to its original goal and mission statement under renewed branding and communication initiatives.

SEEQC was built upon the premise of approaching quantum differently than its predecessors and counterparts, and its new brand reflects that. The brand takes into account SEEQCs unique team, the integrated process in which design, manufacturing and testing are all done in-house, resulting in a unique approach to building a scalable quantum computer.

The new brand reflects SEEQC at its core not only as a company name but as an acronym: Scalable, Energy-Efficient Quantum Computing. Other aspects of the companys brand portfolio have been updated to evince different aspects of the companys technology. SEEQCs visuals evoke a feeling of efficiency, purpose and a close relationship with nature, just as its end-product uses elements of nature to solve classically intractable problems and address the worlds greatest challenges.

The new design and communication are a mirror image of SEEQCs approach to building scalable, re-configurable quantum computers around a family of chips designed to support a host of high-value problems for clients today, said Carlstrm. We want the brand we put forward to show what were really about and to show our ethos in everything we do from the design of our hardware and software to our offices, facilities, website and brand identity.

Partnership with QuantWare

To further advance its technology, SEEQC has partnered with Dutch quantum startup QuantWare. With additional support from the University of Napoli Federico II, the companies will co-develop an advanced Quantum Processor Unit (QPU) with integrated cryogenic digital control logic. This partnership combines SEEQCs proprietary platform with QuantWares scalable QPU design, resulting in the worlds first commercially available platform, capable of overcoming key scalability engineering challenges.

From supporting a continuing shift to the cloud to embracing data-led services, CIOs already have a jam-packed digital transformation agenda for 2022 and now the evidence suggests they need to make room for another line item: quantum computing.

"It will take some time and therefore, now is the right moment to prepare for quantum," saysAlberto Di Meglio, head of CERN openlab, who spoke at a recent event arranged by IBM Research.

The CIO's guide to Quantum computing

Quantum computers offer great promise for cryptography and optimization problems, and companies are racing to make them practical for business use. ZDNet explores what quantum computers will and wont be able to do, and the challenges that remain.

CIOs who start investigating quantum will find a fast-growing area. Consultant Deloitte reports that venture capitalists invested more than $1bn into quantum-led businesses during 2021. The next 12 months will bring even more interest, with total VC spend likely to top $5bn by the end of the year.

SEE: What is quantum computing? Everything you need to know about the strange world of quantum computers

This injection of cash will help technologists to develop reliable and useful quantum computers. That's a big priority right now, as efforts to boost the number of quantum bits or qubits available for computation will help businesses in their quests to identify potential use cases.

Deloitte recognises the nascent nature of quantum means practical applications remain thin on the ground. It estimates that fewer than a dozen companies worldwide will use quantum computers as part of their day-to-day operations this year.

But while quantum computing won't deliver big benefits during the next 12 months, Deloitte says the technology will generate billions of dollars in value annually one day, which is why CIOs should start preparing for quantum advantage now.

Evidence suggests that message is already getting through: three-quarters (74%) of senior executives believe organisations that fail to adopt quantum computing soon will fall behind quickly, according to a recentsurvey by quantum company Zapata Computing and Wakefield Research.

Di Meglio believes the secret to successfully understanding where your business might potentially create a quantum advantage is to focus on developments that are already being made around new instruments, tools, and methods of collaboration.

He says early preparatory work will help CIOs and their businesses to identify the right skills, technologies and partners for quantum success in the longer term.

As part of this process, CIOs and their executive partners must look to build collaborative teams, where all the necessary skills for quantum are brought together and then exploited in the most useful way.

"Quantum computing is a very multidisciplinary area. Organisations, institutions and universities really need to work to break the silos in-between these areas," he says.

Di Meglio says the most effective approach will be to create networks or hubs that allow people from across a wide ecosystem of internal and external partners to think about the challenges that businesses face and to posit potential quantum-based solutions.

"For us, the model of the hub is the right way of working," he says. "It is inherently about collaboration with all the other institutes and researchers across the world. Building this ecosystem is an essential ingredient to be able to move towards usable applications."

Panellists at the IBM Research event referred to pioneering approaches that are already underway, such as QUTACH in Germany, which brings together 10 major businesses to explore practical applications of quantum.

Deloitte suggests quantum chemistry, materials science and optimisation problems will likely be the first useful use cases to materialise. Transportation is another sector with quantum potential.

However, the path forward won't be as clear in all industries. If CIOs are going to convince their boards that it's worth spending time and money investigating the complex world of quantum computing, then the IT industry is going to have help tech chiefs build a strategy for collaboration and exploration.

Hannah Ventz, the head of the Competence Network for Quantum Computing at Fraunhofer Institute, Germany, says research organisations like her own must make it easy for companies to get their first experiences in quantum.

"We try to convince them that now is the right time," she says. "And then we offer experts to quantum labs and hubs where people can get their first experiences."

For CIOs who do want to give their staff exposure to quantum, Lidia del Rio, a physicist at ETH Zurich, says there's already a range of summer schools, hackathons and free online courses being run by some of the major tech firms.

However, del Rio also issues a word of warning. While these kinds of initiatives can help companies to build knowledge, there are still gaps in education programmes particularly when it comes to the more technical elements of quantum.

"My one criticism about these things is that they focus on things that are already known, like algorithms, and they are restricted in range. I understand why it's because these are the things that are easy to teach to a non-technical audience. But I think you need to have a much broader view of what quantum theory is," she says.

Del Rio says her organisation is aiming to raise awareness across industry and government about the risks and opportunities of all elements of quantum technology.

One of the key areas for consideration going forward will be governance.Arunima Sarkar, AI lead in the Centre for Fourth industrial Revolution at the World Economic Forum, says it's crucial that all interested parties including CIOs ensure any quantum advantage is exploited in an ethical way.

She says emerging technologies both shape society and are shaped by society. Businesses, technology firms and public bodies must work together now to ensure governing principles are established as use cases are discovered.

"I would say that the most appropriate and effective time to consider the societal, ethical and legal implications of technology is when the technology is still in the design and the development phase as it allows for early intervention," says Sarkar.

To this end, WEF has started a series of discussions with multi-stakeholder communities globally to debate ethical implications and potential risks of quantum. It has also initiated the creation of the first set of quantum computing governance principles.

"These are a set of shared principles that we believe will help guide the ecosystem for responsible development and innovation in this field," she says.

Quantum computing is coming. Now is the right time to start getting ready - ZDNet

A year ago French president Emmanuel Macron announced plans to provide a framework for his nation's industrial and research forces to make the country a key player in the development of quantum technology. The "Quantum Plan" included an investment of 1.8 billion ($2 billion) over five yearsa significant increase that placed France third after the United States and China.

That included nearly 800 million for computers alone.

Thesector has already experienced significant growth, with patent filings doubling between 2018 and 2020, according to data and analytics company GlobalData. It is believed that the technology could potentially revolutionize areas of defense such as artificial intelligence (AI), enabling autonomous vehicles and improved targeting for precision weapons systems.

Quantum Leap Forward

Quantum computers are not just improved computers. Rather the machinesonce fully developedcould utilize the properties of quantum physics to store data and perform computations. Theoretically, a single quantum computer could complete in seconds tasks that would take classical computers thousands or even millions of years.

The first nation to achieve quantum computing could have a significant advantage, especially as the technology could render current encryption obsolete.

According to a new report from GlobalData, "Quantum Technologies in Defense," this is why many countries are concerned about falling behind in the quantum race due to the potential for the technology to revolutionize communications. Communication is a critical area for the defense sector, with quantum key distribution (QKD) having the potential to completely prevent adversaries from accessing secure communications.

Per the report: "As the existing quantum workforce is extremely small, with only a limited number of people having the capability to design and build quantum computers, countries are pushing to develop an industrial and skills base that will enable them to utilize quantum technologies."

Part of France's spending will initially be to create a platform that will allow traditional computers to access quantum processing power. "Quantum computers are expensive and extremely complex to build, so a remote platform is critical for providing the defense industry with access to quantum tools," explained William Davies, associate defense analyst at GlobalData, in an email.

"The technology is an important investment for the future of the French defense industry, and is a good move for the country to keep up with its peers," Davies continued. "Allies such as the U.S. and the UK are also investing, as well as adversaries such as China, largely to benefit their own defense interests. Further, IQM, a European quantum computer company, is opening an office in Paris in 2022 as a direct response to France increasing investment in quantum. This businessinvestment will provide opportunities for France to expand its domestic quantum base and increase the amount of trained personnel in the sector."

Along with hypersonic weapons, stealth technology, and high-energy weapons, quantum computing could be a significant game changer. Clearly France intends not to be left behind.

How France Is Becoming a Quantum Computing Power - The National Interest

A math problem developed 243 years ago can be solved only by using quantum entanglement, new research finds.

The mathematics problem is a bit like Sudoku on steroids. It's called Euler's officer problem, after Leonhard Euler, the mathematician who first proposed it in 1779. Here's the puzzle: You're commanding an army with six regiments. Each regiment contains six different officers of six different ranks. Can you arrange them in a 6-by-6 square without repeating a rank or regiment in any given row or column?

Euler couldn't find such an arrangement, and later computations proved that there was no solution. In fact, a paper published in 1960 in the Canadian Journal of Mathematics used the newfound power of computers to show that 6 was the one number over 2 where no such arrangement existed.

Now, though, researchers have found a new solution to Euler's problem. As Quanta Magazine's Daniel Garisto reported, a new study posted to the preprint database arXiv finds that you can arrange six regiments of six officers of six different ranks in a grid without repeating any rank or regiment more than once in any row or column if the officers are in a state of quantum entanglement.

The paper, which has been submitted for peer review at the journal Physical Review Letters, takes advantage of the fact that quantum objects can be in multiple possible states until they are measured. (Quantum entanglement was famously demonstrated by the Schrdinger's cat thought experiment, in which a cat is trapped in a box with radioactive poison; the cat is both dead and alive until you open the box.)

In Euler's classic problem, each officer has a static regiment and rank. They might be a first lieutenant in the Red Regiment, for example, or a captain in the Blue Regiment. (Colors are sometimes used in visualizing the grids, to make it easier to identify the regiments.)

But a quantum officer might occupy more than one regiment or rank at once. A single officer could be either a Red Regiment first lieutenant or a Blue Regiment captain; a Green Regiment major or Purple Regiment colonel. (Or, theoretically, any other combination.)

The key to solving Euler's problem with this identity switcheroo is that the officers on the grid can be in a state of quantum entanglement. In entanglement, the state of one object informs the state of another. If Officer No. 1 is, in fact, a Red Regiment first lieutenant, Officer No. 2 must be a major in the Green Regiment, and vice versa.

Using brute-force computer power, the authors of the new paper, led by Adam Burchardt, a postdoctoral researcher at Jagiellonian University in Poland, proved that filling the grid with quantum officers made the solution possible. Surprisingly, the entanglement has its own pattern, study co-author Suhail Rather, a physicist at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, told Quanta Magazine. Officers are only entangled with officers of ranks one step below or above them, while regiments are also only entangled with adjacent regiments.

The results could have real impacts on quantum data storage, according to Quanta Magazine. Entangled states can be used in quantum computing to ensure that data is safe even in the case of an error a process called quantum error correction. By entangling 36 quantum officers in a state of interdependent relationships, the researchers found what is called an absolutely maximally entangled state. Such states can be important for resilient data storage in quantum computing.
