Forecasting Conceptual Diffusion in Science: The Case of Quantum Computing
Thomas Maillart, Thibaut Chataing, David Dosu +3
Understanding and anticipating scientific change requires models that distinguish between endogenous consolidation and exogenous diffusion of scientific concepts. Using the quantum…
Explainable Forecasting of Scientific Breakthroughs from Concept Network Dynamics
Thomas Maillart, Thibaut Chataing, Ntorina Antoni +4
We introduce an explainable machine-learning approach that forecasts the structural precursors of scientific breakthroughs -- the emergence and intensification of links between res…
Practical Challenges in Executing Shor's Algorithm on Existing Quantum Platforms
Paul Bagourd, Julian Jang-Jaccard, Vincent Lenders +3
Quantum computers pose a fundamental threat to widely deployed public-key cryptosystems, such as RSA and ECC, by enabling efficient integer factorization using Shor's algorithm. Th…
Simple rules for two-photon state preparation with linear optics
Grégoire de Gliniasty, Paul Bagourd, Sébastien Draux +1
Entangling photons is a critical challenge for photonic quantum information processing: entanglement is a crucial resource for quantum communication and computation but can only be…
