Qubits in Quantum Computing Explained

We’ve just published a new blog by David DiVincenzo on a topic that’s becoming central to the future of quantum computing: the role of many-body physics in scaling quantum systems. Read it here: https://hubs.la/Q04dcwRm0 It was a real pleasure to host David - one of the pioneers of quantum information - at our seminar this Wednesday, where for a huge audience he unpacked these ideas in depth. Focusing on superconducting transmon systems, he showed how interactions and higher energy levels can lead to complex, even quantum-chaotic behavior, and why controlling this is essential for moving toward fault tolerance. In other words, scaling quantum computers isn’t just about adding more qubits - it’s about understanding the physics that emerges when you do. 😊 Read the blog for the full story!!

⚛️ Episode 11: Quantum Gates — Controlling Qubits Understanding qubits is only the beginning. The real power of quantum computing emerges when we learn how to control them. In Episode 11 of our 100 Days of Quantum for Kids series, we introduce quantum gates—the fundamental operations that transform qubit states and enable computation. From flipping states to creating superposition, quantum gates form the building blocks of quantum circuits, where real processing happens. At IDEAL-Q Lab and IDEAL Labs, these concepts directly translate into: Quantum Information Retrieval architectures Adaptive quantum algorithms Foundations for quantum communication and teleportation systems Guided by the long-term vision of Dr Syed Khaldoon Khurshid, we are building a future where early education aligns seamlessly with deep-tech innovation. 📌 Next: Quantum Circuits — How gates work together to solve problems. #QuantumComputing #QuantumGates #QuantumCircuits #IDEALQLab #FutureOfComputing #QuantumEducation

This #TechnicalTuesday, we explore the rise of qudits (yes, with a d not a b). For years, we mainly discussed about quantum computers as two-level systems. But physics was always richer than that. Now, with real experimental progress: 🔵 trapped ions controlling 13-level systems 🔵 superconducting qutrit processors 🔵 photonic high-dimensional encoding ⚠️ The question is changing. Qudits don’t change what is computable. However they might change how efficiently we get there. 👉 Full Substack Article: https://lnkd.in/evS8qtiQ #QuantumComputing #Qudits #Qubits #DeepTech #Innovation #Physics #TechStrategy #GhalbouniConsulting #TechnicalTuesday

We may have spent a decade simplifying quantum computing… a bit too much. Sharing this week’s #TechnicalTuesday from Ghalbouni Consulting. Qubits made the field easier to build, easier to control, easier to scale (at least conceptually). But they also forced a binary view on systems that are inherently multi-level. Now qudits are coming back—not because they are more powerful in theory, but because they may be more honest to the physics. And in a field where hardware constraints dominate, that honesty might matter more than elegance. Worth reflecting on. #Quantum #Physics #Innovation #Qudits #Qubits #DeepTech #Strategy #GhalbouniConsulting #TechnicalTuesday Elie Mounzer Oswaldo Zapata, PhD Brian Lenahan Niurka Quinteros, Sc.M.

In 1985, Dr John M Martinis and colleagues demonstrated macroscopic quantum tunneling in superconducting circuits, proving quantum effects could be observed at human scales. They were awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for this discovery. Decades later, Martinis led the Google Quantum AI team to achieve quantum supremacy in 2019, showing a quantum processor outperforming classical computers on a specific task. In 2022, he co-founded Qolab, focused on translating lessons from large-scale experiments into practical quantum technologies. During the National Quantum Federated Foundry (NQFF) Industry Day, organised by Singapore’s National Quantum Office and the A*STAR - Agency for Science, Technology and Research, Martinis gave a detailed presentation on the development of quantum computing from 1985 to today. Below is a condensed transcript of the first half of the lecture — a history of quantum computing through his eyes. https://lnkd.in/gG7dHB_h

Berkeley Lab is headed to the #NationalLabSLAM! Our finalist Yashwanth Balaji from our Molecular Foundry is tackling a hidden challenge in quantum computing: protecting delicate quantum bits from cosmic rays. At U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science National Labs, mission-driven research turns fundamental science into real-world solutions — from advanced materials to next-generation computing.
