IBM may not be the biggest provider of systems in terms of the size of its customer base, but of the top 5,000 or so companies worldwide that are not hyperscalers and cloud builders in their own right, Big Blue does have a sizeable share of the system budget. …
Sue Mniszewski has been a research staff member at Los Alamos National Lab (LANL) for over forty years and in that time has watched several novel architectures come and go. …
At this nascent stage of quantum computing, each of the limited hardware/device makers have their own software stacks. …
…Without any of its own hardware and most of its software heavy-lifting dedicated to front-end development, security, and broader AWS systems integration, the cloud giant could own the quantum computing user base.
Chip manufacturing giant, GlobalFoundaries, has struck up a unique arrangement with an ambitious quantum startup to share knowledge that could help turn standard photonics processing technology into a qubit factory. …
Quantum simulators are a strange breed of systems for purposes that might seem a bit nebulous from the outset. …
Earlier this month we posited the idea that 2021 could be the year of quantum computing-led drug discovery and predicted that partnerships like those of Google and European pharma giant Boehringer Ingelheim would be more common with more quantum hardware makers tying the knot with drug manufacturers. …
While this new year might not mark the moment when the first drugs are discovered via molecular dynamics simulations running on a full-scale quantum, there are several signs that a number of important collaborations between the few quantum vendors and major biotech companies are announced. …
