Can you introduce us to IBM Heron/Qiskit and explain why it’s a step forward for the quantum realm? Blake Johnson: IBM Quantum Heron is our most performant processor to-date. As announced at the IBM Quantum Developer Conference, Heron is now capable of executing certain quantum circuits of up to 5,000 gate operations—nearly twice the number

The greatest American: Inventor Ever wonder if any American president was a U.S. patent-bearing inventor? The answer is yes and only one to date. Read on and discover the depth and passion this U.S. president had for invention and innovation. The story of his manifestation of these passions is an inspiration for all inventors to

A significant discovery At the time he was conducting his Ph.D. research, the goal was to develop a quantum computer. Morizur focused on a method that could take spacially entangled photons and mix them to shape the desired entanglement. This new approach was called multi-plane light conversion (MLPC). By placing mirrors in different areas and

Photonic time crystals A breakthrough in photonic time crystals may end up reshaping the way light is used and controlled—good news for future lasers, nanosensors, and optical computing. And it’s a fitting way for the photonics world to wave goodbye to 2024, kick off the holiday season, and roll into 2025. An international team of

Venture activity bounces It turns out that venture investors may actually work in summer, as there was a flurry of photonics funding announcements in September. To begin, there was another large fusion deal (see the March Photonics VC Update and June Photonics VC Update for prior deals). Marvel Fusion announced a €62.8M Series B led

Quantum advances and funding are flying Plenty of mindbendy quantum advances are flying right now, and one of the coolest recent ones comes from Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments at CERN by the ATLAS and CMS (both detectors) teams, which observed quantum entanglement between fundamental particles known as “top quarks” and at the highest energies

SPIE (Bellingham, WA) has opened registration for Photonics West 2025, which will take place January 25-30th at San Francisco’s Moscone Center. The largest annual conference and exhibition in optics and photonics, Photonics West brings together researchers, innovators, engineers, and business leaders from across the globe for an exciting week of research-sharing, collaboration opportunities, and innovation-inspiring
