Quantum Speed Hack: Extra Qubits Slash Measurement Time Without Losing Precision







Quantum scientists have cracked a longstanding problem by devising a method to speed up measurements without losing accuracy, a key hurdle for quantum technology.

By cleverly adding extra qubits, they traded “space” for time, gathering more information faster without destabilizing the fragile quantum systems. This innovative approach, involving top researchers from several major universities, could soon become a standard tool as the race to quantum supremacy heats up.

New Breakthrough in Quantum Measurements


Researchers have discovered a new method to speed up quantum measurements — a key step toward advancing the next generation of quantum technologies.

Fast and accurate quantum measurements are essential for future quantum devices. However, quantum systems are extremely fragile; even small disturbances during measurement can cause significant errors. Until now, scientists faced a fundamental trade-off: they could either improve the accuracy of quantum measurements or make them faster, but not both at once.

Now, a team of quantum physicists, led by the University of Bristol and published in Physical Review Letters, has found a way to break this trade-off.

How Extra Qubits Make a Difference


The team’s approach involves using additional qubits, the fundamental units of information in quantum computing, to “trade space for time.” Unlike the simple binary bits in classical computers, qubits can exist in multiple states simultaneously, a phenomenon known as superposition.

In quantum computing, measuring a qubit typically requires probing it for a relatively long time to achieve a high level of certainty. However, by introducing extra qubits into the measurement process, researchers can gather more information in less time, significantly accelerating the measurement without losing accuracy.



Explaining the Concept Through an Everyday Analogy


Chris Corlett, a PhD student at the University’s School of Physics, and first author on the paper, explained: “Imagine you are shown a picture of two glasses of water – one with 25ml and the other with 20ml, and you have to determine by sight which glass has more water in it. If you’re only shown the picture for one second, you might struggle to tell which glass is more full, but if you’re shown the picture for two seconds, then you can be more confident that you chose the glass with more water in it.

“In our scheme, by including an additional qubit, you increase the amount of information the probe can gather in a fixed amount of time, so we can be more confident about our answer. Adding the qubit is like doubling the volume of each glass to 50ml and 40ml, making it easier to distinguish which is more full in a shorter amount of time due to the greater difference between the two volumes.

“A significant benefit of our approach is that this relationship continues with additional qubits – so for example if you added a third qubit and, by analogy, the volume of the glasses now appears as 75ml and 60ml, you would be able to tell which was greater, with confidence, in just 0.66 seconds – this is the intuition behind our solution.”

Physicists observe a new form of magnetism for the first time

MIT physicists have demonstrated a new form of magnetism that could one day be harnessed to build faster, denser, and less power-hungry " spintronic " memory chips. The new magnetic state is a mash-up of two main forms of magnetism: the ferromagnetism of everyday fridge magnets and compass needles, and antiferromagnetism, in which materials have magnetic properties at the microscale yet are not macroscopically magnetized. Now, the MIT team has demonstrated a new form of magnetism , termed "p-wave magnetism." Physicists have long observed that electrons of atoms in regular ferromagnets share the same orientation of "spin," like so many tiny compasses pointing in the same direction. This spin alignment generates a magnetic field, which gives a ferromagnet its inherent magnetism. Electrons belonging to magnetic atoms in an antiferromagnet also have spin, although these spins alternate, with electrons orbiting neighboring atoms aligning their spins antiparalle...

Scientists Discover New “Hall Effect” That Could Revolutionize Electronics

Scientists discovered a new Hall effect driven by spin currents in noncollinear antiferromagnets, offering a path to more efficient and resilient spintronic devices . A research team led by Colorado State University graduate student Luke Wernert and Associate Professor Hua Chen has identified a previously unknown type of Hall effect that could lead to more energy-efficient electronic devices . Their study, published in Physical Review Letters, was conducted in collaboration with graduate student Bastián Pradenas and Professor Oleg Tchernyshyov of Johns Hopkins University. The researchers uncovered evidence of a new property, dubbed the “Hall mass,” in a class of complex magnetic materials known as noncollinear antiferromagnets . The traditional Hall effect, discovered by Edwin Hall at Johns Hopkins in 1879, describes how an electric current is deflected sideways when subjected to an external magnetic field, generating a measurable voltage. This effect plays a crucial role in technologi...
