One of the most exciting areas of technology development, but that doesn't get a ton of mainstream media coverage, is the race to build a working quantum computer that exhibits "below threshold quantum computing" - the ability to do calculations utilizing quantum mechanics accurately. One of the key limitations to achieving this has been the...

So, back in June the White House announced that UCLA would host a binational US/India workshop, for national security officials from both countries to learn about the current status of quantum computing and post-quantum cryptography. It fell to my friend and colleague Rafail Ostrovsky to organize the workshop, which ended up being held last week....

Last August, Toronto's Centre for Quantum Information and Quantum Control (CQIQC) gave me 35 minutes to make fun of John Preskill in public. CQIQC was hosting its biannual conference, also called CQIQC, in Toronto. The conference features the awarding of the John Stewart Bell Prize for fundamental quantum physics. The prize derives its name for...

"It's becoming clear that in a sense the cosmos provides the only laboratory where sufficiently extreme conditions are ever achieved to test new ideas on particle physics. The energies in the Big Bang were far higher than we can ever achieve on Earth. So by looking at evidence for the Big Bang, and by studying things like neutron stars, we are in effect learning something about fundamental physics." -Martin Rees
