Ultra-fast calculations using diamond

T. Van Dijk

Published Nov 30, 2011• 0 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

TU Delft researchers have managed to use a piece of diamond to hold four quantum bits that can be spun, flipped and entangled with each other. This is an important step towards a working quantum computer

Lighting the Way to a Quantum Computer

Robert F. Service

For researchers working to build a quantum computer, speed is of the essence. The bits of quantum data that scientists create last just billionths of a second, or nanoseconds. That's too short to allow researchers to do any meaningful computation. But a group of California and Pennsylvania researchers may have found a way to beat the time crunch. Their work takes a small but important step toward creating a machine that can carry out in seconds calculations that would take eons on even the most sophisticated supercomputer.

Ethical innovation of quantum computing in Europe: A policy intervention

Benedict Lane, Christine Boshuijzen-van Burken, Eline J. de Jong +5 more

This position paper summarises key insights from a workshop that took place at TU Delft in September 2025, organised by the Delft Quantum Governance and Values Lab and funded by the Netherlands’ Centre for Quantum and Society. The workshop brought together scientists, policymakers, industry actors, and Ethical, Legal, and Social Aspects (ELSA) scholars. Extended discussions between these experts identified five targeted action-points, intended especially for policymakers of the EU Member States and the European Commission, but also relevant for quantum researchers, ELSA researchers, and industry actors within and outside the EU.

Quantum Computing in Electronics: A New Era of Ultra-Fast Processing

Aravindhan Surendar

Quantum computing has been predicted to radically change the electronics industry, especially by implementing ultra-fast processing. Different from other types of computers, quantum computers use qubits instead of binary bits since they can be in multiple states at once because of superposition and entanglement. This creates the ability to perform various calculations simultaneously thus introducing exponential increases in the processing capability hence the efficiency of quantum computers. The applicability of the findings to electronics is extensive since it can be applied in cryptography, artificial intelligence, and analysis of other complex data. Also, it is necessary to point out the potential for improving efficiency in the use of energy in computing systems due to progress in the area of quantum computing and the possible extension of prospects for miniaturization and the search for new materials. Though there are serious problems that are still unsolved, including qubit stability and error correction, continuous research and development works have the potential to solve those issues, and thus bring about a revolutionary change in the electronics of the future. In this paper, an evaluation of quantum computing in electronics is presented, with a focus on the effects that will be brought about and the relevant fields. This paper aims at giving an evaluation of quantum computing in electronics the effects that will be realized and the fields that will be impacted.
