What could quantum computing mean for the City of London? | Researchers have been discussing the possibility that quantum computing could make traditional computing speeds obsolete since the 1970’s. Nearly half a century later, the money – and technology – seem to be flowing in to finally make the idea a reality. Source: FStech. What could quantum computing mean for the City of London?
Three Trent University Researchers Receive over $300,000 in Federal Funding through John R. Evans Leaders Fund | “Our researchers have always thought big. Now, more than ever, they need state-of-the-art labs and equipment to turn their visions into reality,” said Francois-Philippe Champagne, minister of Innovation, Science and Industry. “Investing in our university research infrastructure is key to our continuing role as an innovation leader in wide-ranging fields, from Indigenous research to quantum computing, from neurobiology to advanced robotics. These investments will not only support our ground-breaking contributions to science and research but also improve our economy, environment and quality of life.” Source: PTBO canada.
