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.
Michael Kratsios, US CTO, Named to 2020 Wash100 for Leading Federal Tech Policy Development | Executive Mosaic is honored to present Michael Kratsios, U.S. chief technology officer with the White House, as an inductee into the 2020 edition of the Wash100 Award for driving artificial intelligence policy, federal integration and security practices.

An Introduction to Quantum Computing without the Sci-Fi: From the Qubit to Quantum Teleportation | Quantum Computing is a new field that utilizes the unique properties of objects at a quantum, or very small, level. These properties allow it to be exponentially faster than classical computer at certain types of problems, including factoring (hence, buzz about quantum computing breaking RSA encryption), database searches, as well as simulating molecules, quantum states, and other complex systems. While quantum computing experts don’t think quantum computers will assist classical computers, they estimate that both types of computers can work together to solve many of Earth’s leading issues.
