$4M in Venture Capital for Strangeworks
Strangeworks, the company not quantum mechanics, has raised $4,000,000 in venture capital, the company announced June 12. The funding will enable Strangeworks to create developer tools for finance, energy, aerospace, and pharmaceutical markets. Tools for enabling quantum computing are inherently different from classical (semiconductor) systems due to the intrinsic nature of the quantum and necessary architectures of the systems.
Volkswagen Gives Quantum Computing A Go
Volkswagen has reported the use of quantum computing in auto-battery development. In conjunction with Google and D-Wave, VW simulated molecular interactions in batteries.
Intel’s Tale of Two Technologies
Intel has produced its 49 qubit system, Tangle Lake, publicly revealing it this past January. Now, there is their silicon wafer. Each with 26 qubits, they do their work with quantum spin of electrons.
From Dream to Nightmare. Because Quantum Is Coming.
D-Wave delivered status of its 4,000 qubit system in production; IBM reinforced the notion of maximizing potential through delivery of the key quantum qualities: coherence, connectivity, and controllability. Many other topics and meetings were held.
What It Can (and Can’t) Do Well…Right Now…
Let’s take a step back and remind ourselves (or educate our new readers over) what quantum computing is basically about.
