Why Did NASA and Others Spend Millions on This Quantum Computer?
Quantum computers are probably the most misunderstood of nascent technologies.
Quantum computers are probably the most misunderstood of nascent technologies.
The first quantum computers weren’t computers at all. They were biochemistry equipment, relying on the same science as MRI machines.
The bill is meant to serve as a coordinated effort to advance quantum science in the US, as the EU and China have done.
There’s still a long way to go, but physicists are laying the bricks of their underlying mathematical foundation.
This is an important milestone in the quantum computing world, but it also shows just how much more work there is left to do.
This is emerging technology, and it’s hard to say how quantum computing might integrate into your life or into your computer experience.
The company thinks that its Bristlecone chip could propel them to reach quantum supremacy.
Good news If you’re like me and spend large amounts of time marvelling at those weird, fleeting elements on the periodic table.
From powerful new rockets and asteroid-sampling spacecraft to groundbreaking particle physics, there’s plenty to look forward to in 2018.
“In a way, we already have entered the regime of quantum supremacy."
Why does the internet feel so fundamentally broken?
“The whole community will find better ways to handle errors and I think that will be really exciting.”
Preliminary results represent what could be the first step in sending quantum-encrypted messages through bodies of water.
Amateur ninja attempts security camera shut-down mission.
Maybe we live in a world where certain observations can force our universe to branch into multiple ones. Or maybe actions in the present influence things earlier in time.
Don’t expect this sort of stuff to have any influence on your life just yet—but in the future, it could have some important quantum computing applications.
