Quantum Bits (Qubits)

Combining Bits, Neurons, and Qubits: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Forges New Center for Advanced Computational Paradigms

Rensselaer Institute for Data, Artificial Intelligence, and Computing (DAIC) is to become the primary academic center in the U.S. for advancing new computational paradigms, including those that are a hybrid of conventional, neuromorphic, and quantum computing — combining bits, neurons, and qubits, which will make it possible to solve problems that current computing systems cannot.
