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 …
Superconducting fluxonium qubits provide a promising alternative to transmons on the path toward large-scale superconductor-based quantum computing due to their better coherence and larger anharmonicity. A major challenge for multi-qubit fluxonium devices is the experimental demonstration of a scalable crosstalk-free multi-qubit architecture with high-fidelity single-qubit and two-qubit gates, single-shot readout, and state initialization. Researchers present …
Gavin Jones is a leading quantum chemist and manager in the IBM Quantum Computational Science group, as well as an IBM Quantum Technical Ambassador. In his research, Jones explores chemistry with quantum computers, such as the formation of functional advanced materials, catalysis, molecular properties, and polymer degradation. Gavin led a recent case study with JSR, …
A University of Bristol physicist provides the first-ever practical blueprint for creating in the lab a wormhole that verifiably bridges space, as a probe into the inner workings of the universe. It involves creating a new kind of quantum computer, investigation of quantuum physics in a new way and a possible path to some kind …
Google has a quantum computing goal of encoding a logical qubit on 1000 physical ones with an error rate of 0.0001% and they have achieved a 3% error rate using 17 qubits. The scaling or error reduction must be 20 times better. Using a 72-qubit chip, the Google team encoded a single logical qubit in …
Analog quantum computers developed by researchers at UCD (University College of Dublin) and Stanford University could solve some of the most exciting unanswered questions in quantum physics. The essential idea behind these specialised analog devices is to build a hardware solution to the problem rather than writing code for a digital computer. The new ‘quantum …
The biggest developments in AI were the Openao Dall-e 2 and ChatGPT. OpenAI said Dall-E 2 was generating over 2 million images a day. People are using ChatGPT to write stories and articles and then having Dall-E 2 create the pictures for the ChatGPT article or story. Space SpaceX had 61 launches in 2022 up …
There was a Quantum Computing Innovation Panel at the Q2B conference a couple of weeks ago. The Q2B conference had over 800 attendees and 140+ speakers. The Panelists were: Celia Mertzbacker – Quantum economic development consortium (setup by NIST) QEDC Jake Taylor – Chief science officer – Riverlane. Error correction quantum computing, Cambridge UK High …
