+  date: 2024-03-18
+  blurb: |
+    NVIDIA today launched a cloud service that allows researchers and developers to push the boundaries of quantum computing exploration in key scientific domains, including chemistry, biology and materials science.
+
+    NVIDIA has more than 160 partners in its quantum computing ecosystem. Leading cloud service providers are integrating Quantum Cloud into their offerings, including Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud 
+
+    To learn more about NVIDIA Quantum Cloud, watch the [GTC keynote](https://www.nvidia.com/gtc/keynote/) from Jensen Huang, and register for GTC for free to attend sessions from NVIDIA and industry leaders through March 21.

+- title: A tweezer array with 6100 highly coherent atomic qubits
+  org: arxiv.org
+  link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.12021
+  date: 2024-03-18
+  blurb: |
+    The researchers have successfully created a large-scale array of optical tweezers that can trap over 6,100 neutral atoms across 12,000 sites, achieving new heights in several critical performance metrics for this technology.
+    
+    They demonstrated:
+    
+    - A **coherence time** of **12.6 seconds**, a record for hyperfine qubits in an optical tweezer array. 
+    - **Trapping lifetimes** close to **23 minutes** in a room-temperature apparatus, enabling record-high 
+    - **Imaging survival** of **99.98952%** in combination with an imaging fidelity of over 99.99%. 
+    
+    Their results, together with other recent developments, indicate that universal quantum computing with ten thousand atomic qubits could be a near-term prospect. Furthermore, their work could pave the way for quantum simulation and metrology experiments with inherent single particle readout and positioning capabilities at a similar scale.
