If Quantum Computing Fails, What Next, Post-Moore’s Law? The Memristor?
If Quantum Computing Fails, What Next, Post-Moore’s Law? The Memristor? To keep somewhat of a balance in researching and studying quantum computing’s advancements, we search for pieces which call into question quantum computing’s future. Given Moore’s Law is winding down and causing industry to search for alternatives to increasing speed and capability of computers. Quantum […]
Implementing Ethics Principles In Quantum Computing
Implementing Ethics Principles In Quantum Computing The tech ethics community is at an inflection point. The broad and pervasive applications of Artificial Intelligence and other technologies are no longer a future possibility but an immediate potential harm. As practitioners, we need to respect that urgency by moving beyond words to principled action. We can only […]
