IBM proves a quantum computing advantage over classical

IBM scientists have mathematically proven that there are certain problems that require only a fixed circuit depth when done on a quantum computer no matter how the number of inputs increase. On a classical computer, these same problems require the circuit depth to grow larger. The proof is that there will be problems that can …

Today GPUs for AI but then Phase Change Memory-Neuromorphic and then Quantum

Today IBM is applying massively distributed deep learning algorithms to Graphics processing units (GPU) for high-speed data movement, to ultimately understand images and sound. The DDL algorithms “train” on visual and audio data, and the more GPUs should mean faster learning. To date, IBM’s record-setting 95 percent scaling efficiency (meaning improved training as more GPUs …
