This year at the International Supercomputing Conference we detailed some of the major quantum computing development efforts, including updates from the Microsoft team on the Q# language, and the academic Project Q environment. …
As the rubber begins to meet the road for quantum computing, the conversation is shifting from one about the practicality of hardware to how future users will interface with quantum systems. …
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. …
A lot of money and time is being thrown at quantum computing by vendors, including IBM, Google, Microsoft, and Intel, and there is the normal competitiveness between the United States and China and Europe as well as work in Japan. …
On today’s podcast episode of “The Interview” with The Next Platform, we focus on some of the recent quantum computing developments out of Oak Ridge National Lab’s Quantum Computing Institute with the center’s director, Dr. …
If you thought the up-front costs and risks were high for a silicon startup, consider the economics of building a full-stack quantum computing company from the ground-up—and at a time when the applications are described in terms of their potential and the algorithms still in primitive stages. …
The quantum computing competitive landscape continues to heat up in early 2018. …
Oak Ridge National Laboratory has been investing heavily in quantum computing across the board. …
The art and science of quantum annealing to arrive at a best of all worlds answer to difficult questions has been well understood for years (even if implementing it as a computational device took time). …
Much of the quantum computing hype of the last few years has centered on D-Wave, which has installed a number of functional systems and is hard at work making quantum programming more practical. …
