How Merck works with Seeqc to cut through quantum computing hype“Their technology is a key technology to scale a quantum computer, which is actually much more important because it will make quantum computers bigger and cheaper,” Harbach said. In April 2020, the venture fund announced a $5 million investment in…
7 Companies Using AI for Drug DiscoveryInstead, the AI platform learns the limited possible approaches used in traditional drug discovery from human chemists, such as retrosynthetic analysis, and improves with each sequential iteration. The company has recently announced its first AI-designed molecule for treating cancer using the body’s own immune…
Nvidia SDK simulates quantum computing circuits on GPU systems“I don’t know if the lack of hardware power is necessarily slowing things down,” said Paul Goodson-Smith, senior quantum and AI Analyst for Moor Insights & Strategy. Developers can use the development kit to speed up quantum circuit simulations based on state…
Honeywell Just Released Details About How Its Quantum Computer WorksUnlike its main rivals Google and IBM, who rely on superconducting qubits, Honeywell is using trapped ions to power its device. However, unlike in more conventional trapped-ion computers, they aren’t held in place using a single static electric field. Last March,…
