AMississippi State University research team has secured a $550,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy nuclear physics program to advance studies in quantum computing.
Quantum computing is a new and emerging technology that threatens to break the encryption algorithms used in cybersecurity. Currently, the world’s most advanced computers are not capable of deciphering the mathematical algorithms used to protect sensitive data and communications. It could take thousands or even millions of years before the current technology breaks encrypted data.
Infleqtion unveiled SupercheQ: Quantum Advantage for Distributed Databases, a scientific advance that extends the power of quantum computation to new applications involving distributed data.
Edinburgh scientists are set to lead a major new research programme to expand the University’s world-leading expertise in quantum computing.
[Q]uantum computing can offer quantum machine learning, meaning you use this special quantum ability to handle different simulations and different possibilities.
[R]eluctance to accept that practical quantum computing has arrived presumably stems from the question of whether it can do anything truly useful yet. Sure, one can construct a problem that is very hard for a classical device but ideally suited to a quantum computer and then demonstrate that only a few dozen qubits may be enough to achieve ‘supremacy’. But how helpful is that in the proverbial real world?
Fujitsu announced the development of quantum/HPC hybrid computing technology to optimize workload selection for customers.
Vishnu Parasuraman, the Federal Hybrid Cloud Transformation OpenShift Offering Lead and Practice Lead at IBM, told attendees at the Red Hat Government Symposium on Nov. 9 that some quantum computing use cases for the Federal government are already well in focus, with potentially big payoffs as further use of the technology comes online.
The two companies will conduct joint research, enablement and use case projects in the field of material science for fuel cells, electric engines, or advanced sensor materials.
Multiverse Computing is partnering with the world’s largest academic research center in deep learning, Mila.
