“Both Quantum Computing and Deep Learning May Never Again Be the Same…” Intel offers AI breakthrough in quantum computing. ZDNet. We don’t know why deep
Cold Atoms Exchange Information; Opens Up New Possibilities for Quantum Simulations. Particles can interact directly by repelling or attracting each other. But how do particles
Microsoft’s Q# (“Q-Sharp”) quantum developer’s development kit has a new simulation library; this time it’s chemical. This new addition is geared toward one of the most anticipated application fields for quantum computers – chemistry.
As studies involving quantum systems are discovering, the environment the systems reside in has substantial impact on particle behavior. Research teams at the University of St. Andrews have reported a new method to simulate quantum computing environments more accurately “even on a regular laptop.” With more complex systems envisioned to produce high-powered quantum computers, better simulations of quantum “many particle” interactions are needed.
University of Sydney physicists exploring uses of quantum computers in modeling chemical bonds have achieved another first. Using 4 qubits from a 20 qubit systems, the team simulated hydrogen and lithium hydride. Use of the molecular hydrogen and lithium hydride were ideal as they are well-understood. This provided a test-case for quantum computing and chemical simulation.
Simulating qubits is no small challenge. Atos’ recent work in modeling noise in quantum systems has allowed simulation of a 41 qubit machine. The anticipated studies with the new device will enable testing of quantum algorithms with artificial intelligence applications. There’s already buyers for the Atos QLM, including the U.S. Oak Ridge National Laboratory, France, and now Austria.
The Australian research team at the U. of Melbourne has simulated a 60-qubit quantum computer. Estimations for the algorithm given it to process would require
