11 European quantum computing companies to watchLast autumn Terra Quantum partnered with Novarion, the high performance computing company, to build a hybrid quantum cloud that would combine high-performance classic computing with quantum computers. Delft Circuits supplies most of the big names in quantum computing, including Google, and NASA, and has…
How to get started in quantum computingAshley Montanaro, a quantum-computing researcher at the University of Bristol, UK, runs his quantum programs through Amazon Web Services, a cloud-computing platform that plugs into other firms’ quantum devices. IBM makes a five-qubit machine freely available, but to use the company’s more-powerful machines, research…
Why now is the right time to invest in European quantum computingIn the longer term, solid-state approaches (superconducting qubits, spins, photons) should catch up,” says Christophe Jurczak, founder of Quantonation, the quantum-focused VC fund. Meanwhile Terra Quantum, a Swiss-based quantum computing startup, has celebrated another big hire with high-profile physicist…
Google’s Quantum Computer Is About 158 Million Times Faster Than the World’s Fastest SupercomputerVulnerable chip is strongly cooled Google’s quantum computer, Sycamore, and IBM’s, IBM Q System One, also process data using microchips. In 200 seconds, the machine performed a mathematically designed calculation so complex that it would take the…
Ten Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) were added to the list of IBM-HCBU Quantum Centre members. The centre was launched in September 2020 with thirteen members, and now the total rises to twenty-three. The goal of the centre is to provide quantum education for underrepresented communities and advance quantum information science (QIS). The centre’s initiative will go on for multiple years, focusing on STEM fields and itself follows IBM’s announcement of investing $100 million in these HBCUs through the IBM Skills Academy Academic Initiative.
SC State Partners With IBM’s Quantum Computing ProgramWhen the opportunity to team up with IBM was brought to his attention, Clark thought, “If you don’t make dust, you eat dust.” Clark, who studied computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said the partnership with IBM amounts to over $2…
BP (the energy giant) has joined the IBM Quantum Network to advance the use of quantum computing technology in the energy industry. As an Industry Partner, BP will have access to IBM’s quantum assets and expertise through the cloud. Currently, BP will be able to use a 65-qubit quantum computer as well as be involved in an important milestone on the IBM roadmap, a 1,000+ qubit system scheduled for the end of 2023.
Qubit breakthrough is a big step towards networked quantum computers say researchersQubits, or quantum bits, are the basic unit of quantum information, and their properties can be exploited to create next-generation quantum technologies; one of those properties is entanglement. One of the key applications of such a quantum network would…
After a Year of Quantum Advances, the Time to Protect Is NowThey should begin testing, proof of concept, and infrastructure-upgrade planning to ensure they are ready, before the risk of large-scale, cryptographically relevant quantum computers becomes a reality. Then, move aggressively to put a quantum-safe PKI solution in place to…
