QKD and AI Onboard a CubeSat: All Systems Go for Craft Prospect in Scotland
The ROKS (The Responsive Operations for Key Services) mission will be one of the first of its kind in the world. The Glasgow-based space engineering company, Craft Prospect, is on track to conduct ROKS’ in-space demonstration. With a 6U CubeSat architecture, ROKS will conduct satellite-to-Earth Quantum Key Distribution. It is scheduled to launch in 2022 […]
InfinityQ Technology Says Quantum Analog Computing Approach Routs Other Computers at Traveling Salesperson Problem
InfinityQ Technology, Inc. said its novel approach to a quantum computer outperformed — by nearly six-fold — other computers in a classically challenging optimization problem, according to a company news release. As a demonstration of its capabilities, infinityQ used its hardware — InfinityQube — to solve the Traveling Salesperson Problem for 128 cities while other […]
Berlin Startup Breaking Down Walls (And Costs) For The Chemical & Pharma Industry
Image by Caro Sodar from Pixabay Quantum On Demand (QoD) One of the bugbears of your typical commercial lab experiment these days (or at any time in the past) is the costs incurred to actually do them. Greatly bringing down these financial constraints can do a lot for speeding up R&D while slashing the time it takes […]
Goldman Sachs and QC Ware Collaboration Brings New Way to Price Risky Assets Within Reach of Quantum Computers
Marking a significant step in the roadmap for quantum advantage for financial applications, Goldman Sachs and QC Ware researchers have designed new, robust quantum algorithms that outperform state-of-the-art classical algorithms for Monte Carlo simulations and can be used on near-term quantum hardware expected to be available in 5 to 10 years. Monte Carlo methods, used to evaluate […]
German Aerospace Center (DLR) and Cambridge Quantum Partner to Use Quantum Computers to Build Better Battery Simulation Models
Cambridge Quantum Computing (CQC) has partnered with the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luftund Raumfahrt; DLR) to explore how quantum computing could help create better simulation models for battery development to aid future energy utilisation. The collaboration will see DLR – the national aeronautics and space research centre of the Federal Republic of Germany […]
Air Force Research Laboratory Partners with QC Ware to Use Quantum Machine Learning to Identify Unmanned Aircraft Flight Patterns
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and QC Ware are exploring the use of one of QC Ware‘s proprietary quantum machine learning algorithms to understand the purpose or mission objective of unmanned aircraft by observing its flight path, according to a company news release. Called q-means, the quantum algorithm for clustering and classification can also be applied to […]
Applications Open For Creative Destruction Lab’s Quantum Development Stream
Creative Destruction Lab (CDL) is a nonprofit organization that delivers an objectives-based program for massively scalable, seed-stage, science- and technology-based companies. The nine-month program employs an objectives-based mentoring process to enhance the performance of technical founders who learn from the insights of experienced entrepreneurs, with the goal of maximizing equity-value creation. Founded in 2012 by […]
TQD Exclusive: NIST is Helping U.S. Organizations Prepare for the Coming Quantum Era
Quantum technology may look like it’s a sudden revolution. However, quantum technology has been a – relatively — gradual, but still a disruptive evolution, according to Carl Williams, deputy director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s — or NIST’s — Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML). Williams said that over the past few decades, NIST […]
Think Tank: Congress Should Fund $500 Million in Near-Term Quantum Computing Applications, Establish a National Quantum Research Cloud
Quantum computing technologies are still in the early phases of development, but organizations are already using them in real-world applications from designing drugs to optimizing inventory systems to reducing carbon emissions. As other nations rapidly scale up their investments to develop and use quantum computing, a new report released today by the Center for Data Innovation urges […]
Silq – The Easier Quantum Computer Programming Language
The developers from ETH Zurich, Switzerland have introduced the high-level programming language for quantum computers, called “Silq” This quantum computer programming language tackles the different issues of quantum languages that include unintuitive and cluttered code by supporting safe and automatic uncomputation. Quantum computing has attained major attention over the last few years, to get the […]
