In the second post of our Quantum Computing series, Sarah L. hosted a Lunch & Learn on “What Makes Quantum, Quantum?” This talk focused on experimental evidence, primarily the double-slit experiment, to explain concepts like wave-particle duality, superposition and Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, which differentiate quantum mechanics from classical mechanics. The goal was to make these often-difficult concepts more accessible and to start thinking in more of a "quantum" mindset. Stay tuned as we dive deeper into the world of quantum technology in the coming posts! #QuantumComputing #QuantumTechnology #Innovation #FutureOfTech #DigitalTransformation

Quantum computing is full of potential, but how can businesses use it without taking on unnecessary risk? We’re excited to be featured in Physics World following an interview with Stefano Mensa, PhD MBCS, our group lead for Advanced Computing and Emerging Technologies. The article explores how we’re helping UK organisations de-risk quantum computing investment, from proof-of-concept projects and skills development to strategic partnerships. We’re enabling industry to take confident steps towards practical quantum solutions.

Big news! #StonyBrookU has awarded a $4M grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to help build the future of the internet using the science of quantum entanglement. Our researchers are taking the lead in building SCY-QNet, a 10-node quantum network developed with Columbia University, Yale University and Brookhaven National Laboratory. Instead of moving data like today’s internet, this network will use entangled quantum particles to send information in ways that are faster, more secure, and incredibly precise. It’s a major step toward technologies that could change how we communicate, measure time, and share information. Learn more: https://gosbu.co/4mR0Ld4
