“If you want the masses to start using quantum computers, you have to teach them what the hell they do.” There aren’t enough of “them” to train, either. From industry to academia and now into government, here’s a brief discussion regarding quantum computing jobs in each of these sectors.
Quantum computing, artificial intelligence (AI), Big Data are all part of the transformative technologies blossoming today. Some call these “disruptive technologies”. Though they may look disruptive at first, history shows technology takes time to change the way we humans operate.
Educating ourselves in the fundamentals of quantum computing [or the theory of it] is paramount to understanding even the simplest of quantum topics.
Recent legislative efforts in the U.S., technology advances, and international competition. Not to mention a skills shortage. Many challenges to international quantum computing competition; especially from China.
A team of scientists from France, Germany, and the U.S., are working to develop techniques and materials to produce “indistinguishable photons”. Doing so would permit greater integration into the current high-speed, light-based, computing infrastructure found throughout the globe. This is a necessity to expanding quantum computing, in a practical sense. Other facets to the research include increasing the quantum workforce: “Ultimately, we hope to draw more researchers into this field” the team commented.
The British Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) recently concluded a survey of the public regarding public knowledge and perceptions of quantum technologies (QT). The aim on the study was to open dialogue to bridge the gap between researchers and the public. What little do we know…
IBM ‘s Q Network is adding North Carolina State University to its retinue. To date, nearly 80,000 coders from across industry and academia have utilized the IBM Q network — a 50 qubit, quantum system made available by Big Blue to encourage discovery in quantum applications. Read on for more.
