More Thoughts on Quantum Computing Through Silicon Chips
More Thoughts on Quantum Computing Through Silicon Chips How Silicon Quantum Chips can Accelerate the Fabrication of Quantum Computers on a Massive Scale Selected notes ~ + Currently, quantum computer development is still in its early stages. Several hardware technologies are available, however, none are dominating the “young” field, yet. The most advanced prototypes of […]
“Advantage” D-Wave with 5,000 Qubits; Available mid-2020?
“Advantage” D-Wave with 5,000 Qubits; Available mid-2020? D-Wave debuts new 5,000-qubit quantum computer Excerpts and salient points ~ + LANL’s new machine gives it access to a new quantum processor that not only has more qubits, but also “less noise.” The qubits themselves have also been interconnected in a smarter way that results in higher […]
Building a Quantum Internet
Building a Quantum Internet Well worth taking some time to read from the source, below. Because Quantum is Coming. Qubit. To Invent a Quantum Internet Excerpts and salient points ~ + The ability of networks to transmit data — as well as their tendency to crash, or otherwise behave unpredictably — has always fascinated Stephanie […]
The Meaning of Google’s “Quantum Supremacy”
The Meaning of Google’s “Quantum Supremacy” Here’s what quantum supremacy does—and doesn’t—mean for computing Excerpts and salient points ~ + Doesn’t this speedup mean quantum machines can overtake other computers now? + No. Google picked a very narrow task. Quantum computers still have a long way to go before they can best classical ones at […]
“Quantum processors have thus reached the regime of quantum supremacy.”
“Quantum processors have thus reached the regime of quantum supremacy.” A quick search on BING pulls up the document Google purportedly put together and provided (or collaborated with NASA over). Looks like, in fact, Google, claims they are now the first quantum supremacists. If this holds up over scrutiny in the scientific community in the […]
