Still 5 to 10 Years Out for a Non-NISQ System, But Don’t Wait
Still 5 to 10 years away? Quantum computing was 5 to 10 years away 4 years ago. It will get here, eventually. It may just get very cold before then. Recommend listening to the interview from the source. Link is below. Because Quantum is Coming. Qubit Expert: Now is the time to prepare for the […]
Pandemic Lesson #19: Quantum Computing Holds Vast Potential
Compared to other industries blindsided by the pandemic, the software development industry was in a position of relative strength. Work-from-home capabilities, experience with remote collaboration tools, and an understanding of automation helped organizations in this space survive and even thrive during lockdowns.

Using Quantum Simulations, Scientists Improve Plastics, Fabric Manufacturing
Scientists Can Predict and Design Single Atom Catalysts for Important Chemical Reactions Using fundamental calculations of molecular interactions, they created a catalyst with 100% selectivity in producing propylene, a key precursor to plastics and fabric manufacturing. Artistic rendering of the propane dehydrogenation process taking place on the novel single Rhodium atom alloy catalyst, as predicted […]
Researchers at the Joint Quantum Institute Develop Quantum Protocol Accelerating Quantum Tasks to Theoretical Speed Limits
New Approach to Information Transfer Reaches Quantum Speed Limit In a new quantum protocol, groups of quantum entangled qubits (red dots) recruit more qubits (blue dots) at each step to help rapidly move information from one spot to another. Since more qubits are involved at each step, the protocol creates a snowball effect that achieves […]
Tracking Every Quantum State, Visualizing Quantum Circuits Made Simpler With Data Analytica Quantum Simulation Software
The Data Analytica quantum simulator is available now. By following the source code, the actual implementation of the Hadamard, Pauli, or CNOT (to name a few) gates can be studied. The same holds true for the quantum wave and how a measurement is applied. The simulator allows tracking every quantum state and is able to visualize the developed quantum circuit diagrams. Data Analytica has already used the simulator to study quantum neural networks and quantum random walks (for quantum robotics related projects).
Suez Canal Blockage, COVID-19 Perturbations of Logistics: Have You Considered Quantum Computing?
World events ranging from the Suez Canal blockage to the global COVID-19 pandemic have shown how susceptible our supply chain management and logistics systems are to changes in consumer and business demand, raw materials availability, shipping, and distribution. The field of constrained optimization is well matched to address these needs, yet today’s classical computers can hit a wall amidst growing volumes of data and unpredictable disruptions. New software solutions will combine the power of classical and quantum computing to help planners stay ahead.
Move Over Quantum Computing, Here’s Something Classical That Computes Just Fine
Two physicists, from EPFL and Columbia University, have introduced an approach for simulating the quantum approximate optimization algorithm using a traditional computer. Instead of running the algorithm on advanced quantum processors, the new approach uses a classical machine-learning algorithm that closely mimics the behavior of near-term quantum computers.
