Quantum computing has emerged as one of the most talked about emerging technologies in Silicon Valley and beyond–but it is also perhaps one of the most poorly understood. The most pressing questions about quantum computing come from the enterprise user …

The National Institute of Standards and Technology is working with many companies and researchers to provide security for financial information and privacy when there are quantum computers powerful enough to break current encryption. They have selected 26 post-quantum algorithms after …

The US has funded Quantum Science and Engineering with the $1.2 billion National Quantum Initiative Act. The funding is spread of 5 years. This funding is for all quantum related science and technology. China is funding tens of billions into …

Quantum Circuits (QCI) is using superconducting qubits in a modular, robust, and scalable architecture. They are a spinout from Yale University. QCI’s unique software platform harnesses the power of our quantum hardware. We are building a full stack of flexible …

Is it possible for an efficient classical verifier (a BPP machine) to verify the output of an efficient quantum prover (a BQP machine)? The answer is Yes. Researchers show that a classical polynomial time verifier (a BPP machine) can interact …

D-Wave Systems had a presentation that summarized the utility of their quantum adiabatic system. It is a specialized QUBO solver. QUBO stands for quadratic unconstrained binary optimization and is a problem type traditionally used in computer science. There is online …

Pegasus is the first fundamental change in D-Wave’s architecture since the D-Wave One. The D-Wave Two, 2X, and 2000Q all used the Chimera architecture, which had unit cells of K4,4 graphs. D-Wave machines added more qubits but the cells and …
