Melding of Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computers Needed

Melding of Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computers Needed.  Highly advanced AI is needed to create truly autonomous self-driving cars and systems for accurately managing the traffic flow of entire cities – in real-time. Mimicking the human brain’s neurons in software code, the way neurons in the human brain function, is happening.  “Each neuron mimics a decision-making […]

Quantum Key Distribution in the Holland Tunnel

Quantum Key Distribution in the Holland Tunnel.  The annual QKD market may demand $2 billion by 2024.  The nascent technology promises to be nearly impossible to hack without discovery.  Currently the technology is being tested throughoout the world.  Unknown to nearly everyone, the cutting-edge quantum science project, of sorts, is being tested in the Holland Tunnel […]

IBM Q System One: Either It Is Going to Affect BITCOIN or It Isn’t…

IBM Q System One: Either it is going to affect BITCOIN or it isn’t…  IBM’s sleek, new, System One is a quantum computer. Will it break BITCOIN or blockchain “The IBM Q System One is currently the only technology that can break the blockchain” and “No, IBM’s Quantum Computer Won’t Break Bitcoin” are nearly opposite […]

Quantum Computing Memory Efficiency

Quantum Computing Memory.  Quantum memories are essential for quantum information processing.  Techniques have been developed for quantum memory based on atomic ensembles.  The nascent “Raman Process” shows promise.  Memory efficiency remains an “unsolved bottleneck.”  Recent work marks an important advance of quantum memory towards practical applications in quantum information processing.   Reference is found at Cornell […]

U.S. Department of Energy Funding Quantum

U.S. Department of Energy Funding Quantum.  The U.S. Department of Energy is once again announcing grants.  Of particular note, the Office of Advanced Scientific Computing is funding quantum computing-centric projects to study configurable entangled photon sources for quantum networks and building commercialization-ready low-cost deployable room-temperature quantum memories. Report is found at insideHPC…  

NASA Set To Discuss Quantum Initiatives in Space

NASA To Discuss Quantum Initiatives in Space.  The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration will host the “Fundamental Physics and Quantum Technology Workshop” to be held April 8-10, 2019, in Washington, D.C.  Special sessions will be held to highlight U.S. and international quantum initiatives.  These will include discussion of future opportunities for quantum technology research in […]

Quantum Entanglement Self-testing Protocol

Quantum Entanglement Self-testing Protocol.  Quantum entanglement is key to quantum information processing.  With the fragile state of quantum bits, device-independent certification of entangled states demands self-testing.  “The central aim of self-testing is to certify the state and measurements of quantum systems without any knowledge of their inner workings, even when the used devices cannot be trusted.”  […]
