IBM has a new quantum computing roadmap out to 2033 but the critical turning point is around 2029 when IBM goes from error mitigation to error correction. Quantum error suppression and error mitigation is making a substantial difference now as is shown by peer reviewed work by Q-CTRL. The IBM projections seem to be guiding …
The UK has announced five major quantum computing missions. The UK Quantum Computing Missions Mission 1 By 2035, there will be accessible, UK-based quantum computers capable of running 1 trillion operations and supporting applications that provide benefits well in excess of classical supercomputers across key sectors of the economy. Mission 2 By 2035, the UK …
Arxiv – A survey of applications and end-to-end complexities. (337 pages. Oct 2023) by Researchers at AWS Center for Quantum Computing, Institute for Quantum Information, RWTH Aachen University (Germany), Caltech, Imperial College of London, Harvard, Alfred R´enyi Institute of Mathematics, Budapest, Hungary, IT University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark, Amazon Quantum Solutions Lab. Abstract The anticipated …
Atom Computing announced it has created a 1,225-site atomic array, currently populated with 1,180 qubits, in its next-generation quantum computing platform. This is the first time a company has crossed the 1,000-qubit threshold for a universal gate-based system, planned for release next year. It marks an industry milestone toward fault-tolerant quantum computers capable of solving …
Researcher show that n-bit integers can be factorized by independently running a quantum circuit with orders of magnitude fewer qubits many times. It then use polynomial-time classical post-processing. The correctness of the algorithm relies on a number-theoretic heuristic assumption reminiscent of those used in subexponential classical factorization algorithms. It is currently not clear if the …
Without full fault tolerance in quantum computers we will never practically get past 100 qubits but full fault tolerance will eventually open up the possibility of billions of qubits and beyond. In a Wright Brothers Kittyhawk moment for Quantum Computing, a fully fault-tolerant algorithm was executed on real qubits. They were only three qubits but …
Many experts predict that practical fault tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) will require millions of physical quantum bits (qubits) but in August, 2023 IBM scientists published the discovery of new error correction codes that work with ten times fewer qubits. Practical error correction is far from a solved problem. However, these new codes and other advances …
Scientists are accelerating quantum simulations for the first time at supercomputing scale, thanks to NVIDIA cuQuantum with Xanadu’s PennyLane. Shinjae Yoo is leading the computational scientist and machine learning group lead at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory where many researchers are running quantum computing simulations on a supercomputer for the first time, …
David Friedberg of the All-in-Podcast is hopeful that LK99 is real and can lead to industrial scale commercial room temperature superconductors. Friedberg estimates that 70% of the energy we produce is lost to heat and friction. However, computer chips and networking without heat problems can mean computers that are 100 to 200 times faster. The …
D-Wave Quantum Annealing systems are providing real business value to Mastercard and other companies. Steve Flinter of Mastercard presented a live demos of quantum-hybrid applications. The live demo showcased the technology’s applicability and potential impact in the financial services industry, with an application for customer loyalty and rewards programs. Mastercard is able to use D-Wave …
