…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.
D-Wave today announced another milestone in its quest to keep adding qubits, jumping from the previous generation 2000 qubit device to one with 5000. …
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. …
