Quantum Processes, Your Brain, and Consciousness: Does one Explain the Other?
Can science explain the mystery of consciousness? Read More… + After The Emperor’s New Mind was published, Penrose received a letter from Stuart Hameroff, professor of anaesthesiology at the University of Arizona, who also had a long interest in understanding consciousness. In the letter, Hameroff described tiny structures in the brain called microtubules, which he […]
Getting Bigger: Ireland, Quantum Computing, and Big Data
Getting Bigger: Ireland, Quantum Computing, and Big Data Key takeaways are the Irish presence in the quantum computing landscape, a layperson’s description of quantum computing, and how these pieces fit together to keep Ireland with a foot in the door. Good read from the source. Because Quantum is Coming. Qubit Quantum computing poised to transform […]
Tuning Your Quantum Computer by Taking the Human out of the Loop
Tuning Your Quantum Computer by Taking the Human out of the Loop AI automatic tuning delivers step forward in Quantum computing Key points… + In prototype semiconductor quantum computers, the standard way to correct these imperfections is by adjusting input voltages to cancel them out. This process is known as tuning. However, identifying the right […]
