🪇 Mårten Skogh Chalmers Next Labs i reportage i SVD Näringsliv i helgen.
Group CEO at Chalmers University of Technology Foundation | Former CEO of Chalmers Ventures | Board Member | LinkedIn Top Voice | Champion of Innovation, University Spinouts, and Industry Collaboration
Håll käften och räkna. Den gyllene maskinen i #Göteborg som Sara L Bränström om i Svenska Dagbladet är mer än ett laboratorieobjekt. Den är en signal om Sveriges styrka och Europas dilemma. På Chalmers University of Technology har vi, med långsiktig finansiering från Knut och Alice Wallenbergs Stiftelse WACQT - Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology, byggt Sveriges mest avancerade kvantdator. Det är ett strategiskt tillgångsvärde: kompetens, infrastruktur och en väg från forskning till faktisk nytta. Samtidigt accelererar världen. USA:s techjättar skalar kvant, Danmark bygger Magne, Finland investerar tungt, och kapitalet rör sig snabbt dit förutsättningarna är tydligast. Sverige ligger långt fram, men tiden mellan genombrott och uppskalning krymper, och den vinner de som kan matcha riskaptit med industriella partnerskap. Lärdomen är enkel och krävande: forskning, filantropi och riskvilligt kapital måste spela i samma lag. Chalmers uppdrag är inte bara att bygga teknik, utan att bygga framtida konkurrenskraft, företag, jobb och säkerhet.

🔸Hanna Linn - Dissertation 📅 2025-10-28 at 13:15 | Chalmers Opponent: Laxmi Parida, IBM Research, USA "Protein structure prediction and design on near-term quantum computers" by Hanna Linn: https://lnkd.in/dfQntCCT 🔸What happens when quantum computing meets life sciences? In her doctoral thesis, Hanna Linn dives into the fascinating intersection of quantum algorithms and protein structure prediction. Using variational quantum algorithms like the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm and Hardware-Efficient Ansatz, Hanna investigates how near-term quantum devices could tackle coarse-grained lattice models in protein structure prediction and design. Her work critically evaluates the limitations of quantum methods compared to classical approaches, highlighting the trade-offs between the resource requirements of today's quantum devices and the performance of quantum algorithms. 🔸Why does this matter? Predicting protein structure is key to understanding diseases, designing new drugs, and engineering synthetic biology. Quantum computing might unlock new possibilities in computational biology in the future. #WACQT #IYQ2025 #quantumbiology #quantumcomputing #quantumalgorithms Chalmers Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience https://lnkd.in/dfQntCCT

I ett framtida kvantsamhälle, där avancerade kvantnätverk samspelar med kvant och klassiska datorer, sensorer och intelligenta system, kan informationsflöden delas och styras mellan flera parter – även trådlöst och över stora avstånd. Det öppnar för nya möjligheter att skydda smarta städer och självkörande bilar mot manipulation, maximera effektiviteten med minimal miljöpåverkan, förhindra attacker mot digitala tjänster. Bakom denna utveckling pågår forskning bland annat på KTH. Professor Katia Gallo leder det svenska initiativet NQCIS - National Quantum Communication Infrastructure in Sweden (NQCIS) – en del av EU:s gemensamma satsning på ett europeiskt kvantkommunikationsnät. – Vi bygger upp en infrastruktur i Sverige som i slutändan ska kopplas ihop med EU:s medlemsstater. Det handlar om att stärka cybersäkerheten, öka Europas konkurrenskraft och gynna kunskapsutbyte, säger Katia Gallo.

New preprint out today with Trond Haug, Timo Hillmann, and Raphaël Van Laer at WACQT - Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology, Chalmers tekniska högskola: ”Lattice surgery with Bell measurements: Modular fault-tolerant quantum computation at low entanglement cost” https://lnkd.in/dVhMWDXH Getting to well-functioning large-scale quantum computers will most likely require quantum error correction and a modular architecture, where several smaller processors are connected. Thankfully, it has been shown that such an architecture can work even if the links between modules are more noisy than operations within modules. However, establishing entanglement between qubits on different modules is still a bottleneck. In our work, we show how to perform lattice surgery (logical operations between encoded error-corrected qubits) across modules in a way that requires roughly half the amount of entanglement compared to previous protocols. Our protocol is based on an equivalence between Bell measurements and Bell pairs, which can be seen through ZX calculus. To avoid propagation of errors from the interface, we use an alternating sequence of syndrome-measurement circuits, which may be of independent interest. Overall, we see better logical error suppression per amount of entanglement (ebits) than for other protocols, although it comes at the cost of an increased number of physical qubits to achieve the same code distance.

Join Nobel laureate and Wallenberg Scholar Anne L'Huillier's laser lab! In the film, you'll get to see her research and even witness a minor research breakthrough. An attosecond is an incredibly short unit of time. There are as many attoseconds in one second as there have been seconds in the entire history of the universe. It is actually very difficult to comprehend how short they are. Not even Anne L’Huillier, professor of atomic physics at Lund University, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2023 and was the first to discover overtones, short light pulses on the attosecond scale, fully understands how short they are. In the film, we follow her to her laser lab to learn more about her research on electrons and even witness a minor research breakthrough.
