Quantum computers will continue to fit in the “emerging technologies” category for some time, at least in terms of their ability to handle a large enough number of real-world applications. …
Toward the end of 2019, a flurry of announcements by some of the most prominent IT companies suggests that collaborations will become increasingly important in the quantum computing space as the players jockey for position in the nascent market. …
The Forschungszentrum Jülich Supercomputing Center (JSC) in Germany will soon be home to Europe’s first D-Wave quantum computer. …
D-Wave Systems is getting ready to roll out its next quantum annealing computer, a system that will encompass more than 5,000 low-noise qubits, as well as a new topology to connect them. …
As we argued a few weeks ago, the cloud is where quantum competition gets real. …
At the dawn of the mainframe era, Thomas Watson is said to have remarked that perhaps only five such systems would ever be sold in the world and that perhaps, just one machine would be needed to solve the most intractable problems. …
The relationship between quantum computers and supercomputing will be more complementary than competitive in the coming years with quantum processors being the offload engines for some key workloads in materials science and other areas. …
This morning at Google Next computer architecture pioneers, John Hennessey and David Patterson, remarked that even though it could be revolutionary, quantum computing is still at least a decade away. …
Quantum systems will not replace traditional supercomputers anytime soon but for certain types of simulations, they will be far more efficient and scalable than classical machines, at least according to CEO of quantum computer maker D-Wave, Vern Brownell. …
Chocolate and peanut butter, tea and scones, gin and tonic, they’re all great combinations, and today we now have a new binary mixture — Quantum and AI. …
