An interesting article at Lawfare provides an update on U.S. Export Controls Impacting Chinese Quantum Entities On May 9, the U.S. Department of Commerce added 37 Chinese entities to its Entity List, with restrictions aimed primarily at organizations contributing to China’s advancements in quantum technology. Notable institutions affected include the University of Science and Technology of China and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. As quantum technologies—seen as potential game-changers in computing, sensing, and communication—mature, the U.S. believes that maintaining a lead in this field is crucial for national security. However, the effectiveness of broad export controls may be limited in the long term, given the global nature of talent and supply chains in quantum research. While immediate impacts will challenge Chinese quantum researchers, these export restrictions could ironically stimulate domestic innovation in China, as researchers may turn to local solutions. Policies that limit interactions and movement of human capital might better serve U.S. interests in retaining technological leadership. Given the ongoing evolution in quantum capabilities, Western policymakers are urged to explore balanced approaches that foster mutual understanding and collaboration amid existing geopolitical tensions. #QuantumTechnology #ExportControls #USChinaRelations #Innovation #NationalSecurity Technology Controls to Contain China’s Quantum Ambitions Are Here https://hubs.ly/Q02Ms6LL0

Congratulations to our friends from Harvard University for moving into their new building. The Harvard Quantum Initiative has officially moved into its new home, the David E. and Stacey L. Goel Quantum Science and Engineering Building. This impressive 70,000-square-foot renovation of a former data center fosters interdisciplinary research among diverse groups, including those from the Rowland Institute and the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Designed to encourage innovation, the building features collaborative spaces, state-of-the-art laboratories, and resources for researchers. HQI Co-Director Evelyn Hu highlighted that these environments will drive serendipitous ideas and elevate creativity among scientists. The Goel Building will serve as a hub for quantum research, where the fusion of different fields can lead to groundbreaking discoveries. The space is not just a physical structure; it's envisioned as an “idea-friendly project space” to transform collaboration dynamics. As researchers settle in, they look forward to the enhanced interactions that will arise within the vibrant community fostered by this new facility.

Recent research led by Massachusetts Institute of Technology scientists proposes a new algorithm that optimizes Peter Shor's groundbreaking factoring algorithm. While Shor’s original algorithm requires a massive quantum computer to break RSA encryption, this novel approach combines the speed of a newer algorithm with improved memory efficiency. This means fewer quantum building blocks are needed, paving the way for more practical implementations. While we are still far from building a large-scale quantum computer, this development brings us closer to addressing the challenges posed by quantum threats to traditional encryption methods.

Quantum LDPC codes have established their reputation for spatial efficiency in encoding logical qubits. Yet, so far, schemes for performing actual computation (gates) with such encoded qubits have often been serialized and constrained, leading to inefficiency in operational time. This work makes significant advances on this front, describing schemes for the selective and parallel addressing of quantum LDPC logical qubits. This brings a space-time efficient implementation of quantum algorithms on quantum LDPC codes closer to reality.

The Forbes article discusses how SAS is advancing quantum computing, particularly in the context of data analysis and AI model training. Bill Wisotsky a lead quantum architect at SAS, emphasizes the potential for quantum computing to handle complex AI calculations faster and with less data than classical systems. The company is focusing on real-world applications, including drug discovery, financial modeling, chemical simulations, and optimization. While quantum computing is still in its early stages, SAS emphasizes the importance of integrating quantum technology with classical systems to solve complex problems and maintain security in a post-quantum cryptography era. https://hubs.ly/Q02LDwNH0
