If we could not find room for it, time to digest it, or a reason to run it during the past week, we have collected it here. Not a recap for the week, but a cleanup of pieces we received and just could not get to.
Because Quantum is Coming. Qubit.
India Plans to Build a Quantum Computer in 4-5 Years | The race to crack quantum computing is on and a select few countries are competing for the top spot. While countries like the USA, China, and Japan already invested millions of dollars to achieve quantum supremacy, India recently joined the list with a funding of Rs. 8000 crores ($1.12 billion) from the government.

Brighter Future For Photonics | [P]hotonics is not only about communications. It can be used for computation, as well, and can do some types of computation much more efficiently than electronics. It may also be an enabler for quantum computing. Source: SEMICONDUCTOR ENGINEERING. Brian Bailey, Brighter Future For Photonics…
Quantum computers solve convex optimization problems faster | The advantages and limitations of quantum computing over classic computing have become clearer once again. PhD candidate Joran van Apeldoorn shows that a specific type of optimization problem can be solved much faster by quantum computers. Today, he will defend his thesis at the University of Amsterdam.

Betting big on quantum technology | The Narendra Modi government seems to be betting big on new innovations like artificial intelligence, the internet of things, 3D printing, drones, DNA data storage and quantum technology to rewrite India’s economic order. In particular, it’s relying heavily on quantum technology to take governance to the next level and bring about change in the way industries operate in the near future. Not many would expect the Indian government to decide on investing `8,000 crore on a national mission for quantum technology and applications. This mission may be aimed at initiating change in communications, cyber security, weather forecasting and climate change, and handling diverse areas like growing traffic on roads, railways, ports, airports, etc. Source: THE NEW INDIAN EXPRESS.
