Quantum algorithms for non-adiabatic dynamics

Xanadu’s mission is to make quantum computing useful, through development of quantum hardware, software, and algorithms. One important direction in achieving this goal is identifying problems that can be solved on quantum hardware that are not tractable on classical computers, and then building quantum algorithms for those problems. We expect that eventually we will have […]

Globalink Research Award Application – Internship in Switzerland (May 1 2025 start) – McKinley Van Klei

Standard medical imaging techniques used to diagnose and inform treatment of spinal conditions include X-Ray, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These images neglect to capture the in vivo dynamic behavior of the spine during activities of daily living, since patients remain as still as possible to capture clear image. In 2023, 20% […]

Data-driven simulation of DEVS-driven Digital Twins for smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0

Traditional modelling and simulation involves a human expert to manually design and create simulation models. However, these models quickly become obsolete for systems that continually change, such as smart manufacturing systems. This creates a need to create new simulation models which is difficult and expensive. Data-driven simulation extracts simulation models from data without explicit modelling […]

Continuation of “Use of a supersonic fluidic oscillator to generate pressure pulses in a single chamber superplastic forming process”

Supersonic fluidic oscillators are known to provide pressure pulsations which improve the metal superplastic blow forming manufacturing process. The symmetrical nature of a previously developed oscillator design, however, restricts their application to cases where two identical parts are formed simultaneously. Pressure fluctuation amplitudes are not sufficient when used for single part forming. This research aims […]
