A Dose of Reality? Quantum Profits Unlikely to “Pop” Through 2027

We found this analysis from The Register to be simple, short, and to-the-point.  It’s in parallel with what we are beginning to see. From comments left by readers, one strikes us over and over:  “That’s still a lot of people paying a lot of money for something that doesn’t work now, and still wont work in 2027” – druck. We’re not sure what cheek this punch landed on. Perhaps it was right on the chin. We recommend the full article at the link below. Because Quantum is Coming. Qubit

Sensing, Repeating Data May Be Up-Ended by Argonne Quantum Research, Q-NEXT

Researchers around the world are exploring how the smallest bits of matter and energy, such as atoms, electrons and photons, can relay information by making essential use of their quantum properties. These unique properties are described by a branch of physics called quantum mechanics, which was originally devised to explain phenomena at the atomic and subatomic scales, but is now central to our understanding of all matter. At the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, quantum information science (QIS) is a burgeoning discipline that stands to revolutionize computing, science and communication.

Physicists Demonstrate Exotic Superconductivity With Possible Implications for Quantum Computing

MIT physicists and colleagues have demonstrated an exotic form of superconductivity in a new material the team synthesized only about a year ago. Although predicted in the 1960s, until now this type of superconductivity has proven difficult to stabilize. Further, the scientists found that the same material can potentially be manipulated to exhibit yet another, equally exotic form of superconductivity.
