Companies striving to ride the cutting edge are competing to gain benefits from emerging technologies like improved customer experience, operational efficiencies, and newly enabled use-cases.
The roadmap serves as a guide for research and development in quantum interconnects, devices that link and distribute quantum information between systems and across distances to enable quantum computing, communications and sensing.
More than 80% of respondents looking to move forward with increased commitment to quantum computing in next two to three years; more than one-third will invest at least $15M USD annually in quantum computing efforts.
Edinburgh scientists are set to lead a major new research programme to expand the University’s world-leading expertise in quantum computing.
The next major “quantum leap” is probably five years away, when we have a few thousand qubits and can essentially create a logical qubit. For Intel, collaborations across the industry, research communities and academia have driven compelling discoveries in the field. The more we explore, the more we learn, and the more we collaborate, the faster we go.
About the only thing really agreed upon was quantum computing remains very young and that there has been a tremendous amount of hype surrounding it.
[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.
Germany’s Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) has contracted software company QMWare and cloud specialist IONOS, together with the University of Stuttgart and the Fraunhofer FOKUS research institute, to construct a platform for quantum computing applications for German industry. The cloud will be the first of its kind in the country.
The German Aerospace Center (DLR) has commissioned Universal Quantum Deutschland GmbH, a subsidiary of British startup Universal Quantum, with building a fully scalable trapped ion quantum computer.
