OneQuantum Africa Guest This Week | Prof. Will Oliver, Principal Investigator in the Engineering Quantum Systems Group (MIT campus) and the Quantum Information and Integrated Nanosystems Group (MIT Lincoln Laboratory)
We have what is set to be an interesting conversation with Will Oliver this week where we discuss quantum nanoscience and engineering, focusing on what it takes to bring quantum technologies from scientific curiosity to technical reality.
Will also shares his passion for music, how it led him to digital signal processing, and his current mission to build the fundamental technologies necessary to scale up quantum computing.
"Engineering quantum systems into useful, larger-scale machines is going to require that we bring into the ecosystem many people with their own talents and from diverse backgrounds." Prof. Will Oliver

📢 Important Announcements
Wits Ph.D. student cracks the high-dimensional quantum code
Congratulations to Isaac Nape, an emerging South African talent in the study of quantum optics, who is part of a crack team of Wits physicists who led an international study that revealed the hidden structures of quantum entangled states. The study was published in the renowned scientific journal, Nature Communications, on Friday, 27 August 2021.
Free access to Quantum resources
Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF) now provides researchers free access to Quantum resources within the QCUP program.

Researchers find a way to check that quantum computers return accurate answers
Quantum computers are becoming more powerful, but how can we be sure that the answers they return are accurate? A team of physicists from Vienna, Innsbruck, Oxford, and Singapore solves this problem by letting quantum computers check each other.
Chinese team says quantum physics project moves radar closer to detecting stealth aircraft
Quantum particles in a man-made electromagnetic storm bounced back after hitting stealth objects, increasing the chance of detection, according to scientists. The Tsinghua University researchers are seeking an industrial partner to build a full-sized prototype.
IBM and E.ON aim to drive the transformation of the energy industry with Quantum Computing.
E.ON is now the first utilities company in Europe to work with IBM Quantum to implement quantum solutions for their critical workflow. The goal is to explore the potential of quantum computing to optimize the world’s rapidly decentralized energy infrastructure.
Cross-Verification of Independent Quantum Devices
Quantum computers are on the brink of surpassing the capabilities of even the most powerful classical computers, which naturally raises the question of how one can trust the results of a quantum computer when they cannot be compared to classical simulation.
From healthcare to automotive to energy, real use cases are in play
Quantum computers have been receiving a lot of attention because of their potential to solve computationally difficult problems that classical computers cannot. Among those problems are the abilities to help companies reduce their carbon footprint and protect the world from the next pandemic.
Paper | Energy-participation quantization of Josephson circuits
Quantum information processing based on the control of microwave electromagnetic fields in Josephson circuits is a promising platform for both fundamental physics experiments and emerging quantum technologies. Key to the success of this platform is the ability to quantitatively model the distributed quantized electromagnetic modes of the system, their nonlinear interactions, and their dissipation.
David Deutsch, the Father of Quantum Computing, but who is he?
Beginning with his algorithm which is co-named with Jozsa. The Deutsch–Jozsa algorithm is seminal because it showed some of the first principles of Quantum advantage and therefore Quantum Computers offer the ability to perform some types of calculation faster than ever achievable on classical or normal hardware.
The U.S. Patent System and Quantum Cryptography: An Awkward Relationship
“Given the legal questions around the patentability of software and computing technology, tech companies have found it hard to project the proper approach for patenting these types of technologies. This confusion is likely to apply to quantum computing.”
Quantum computing startup Quantum Machines raises $50M
Founded out of Tel Aviv in 2018, Quantum Machines last year formally launched its Quantum Orchestration Platform, pitched as an extensive hardware and software platform for “performing the most complex quantum algorithms and experiments” and taking quantum computing to the next level by making it more practical and accessible.
Agencies should collaborate to promote world-leading research and innovation boosting American industries and quality American jobs in critical and emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), quantum information science (QIS), advanced communications technologies, microelectronics, high-performance computing, biotechnology, robotics, and space technologies.
