D-Wave’s Annealer-type Quantum Computer Up to the Test
D-Wave’s Annealer-type Quantum Computer Up to the Test. U.S. Government laboratories, NASA, and Lockheed Martin are running D-Wave’s quantum annealer through the ringer. Not necessarily to solve hard problems as envisioned, but to gain insight and experience on how to approach these puzzles from the new quantum computing mindset. Applications sought to be developed are […]
Germany Pouring $40M+ Into Quantum Computing Technology
Germany Pouring $40M+ Into Quantum Computing Technology. Jülich Forschungszentrum, one of Germany’s premier research and development centers, will receive a $40M+ infusion of German government funding to advance, in part, quantum computing technologies. “…[T]he funds will be applied to research in a number of quantum-based technologies – primarily, computing, communication and storage.” One of the primary […]
India’s Road-map to a Quantum Computer
India’s Road-map to a Quantum Computer. India’s Department of Science and Technology is developing the nation’s first quantum computer. The program, Quantum-Enabled Science & Technology (QuEST), is set to invest $11.3M to build a quantum computer and to fund related research. Once this initial phase is completed, “…the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Defence Research and […]
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 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 […]
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.” […]
