Security Threats of Quantum Technologies and Ways to Overcome Them
The natural acceleration of technological evolution provides humans with new opportunities, paving the way toward a future that seemed to be science fiction only a few years ago. That said, groundbreaking technologies that will be adopted down the road will give rise to equally revolutionary threats. These concerns require an all-new approach to security and […]
Beyond Qubits: University of Sydney’s Quantum Team Say They’ve Taken Huge Step Forward In Scaling Up Quantum Computers
Through the Microsoft partnership with the University, Professor David Reilly and colleagues have invented a device that operates at 40 times colder than deep space to directly control thousands of qubits, the building blocks of quantum technology. Scientists and engineers at the University of Sydney and Microsoft Corporation have opened the next chapter in quantum […]
IBM’s Quantum Software Roadmap Points to Massive Speedup — Accomplishing In A Day What Once Took Months
IBM announced its quantum development roadmap, including a massive increase in the speed of quantum applications in 2021 through a 100x speedup of quantum circuits. According to the company, improvements to quantum software could lead to speedups that make tasks that only recently took users more than three months to accomplish, to be finished in […]
“Hyperchaos:” Qubit Behaviour That Allows The Simulation of Complex Quantum Systems Without Extensive Computational Power
Image by Pete Linforth from Pixabay Complex Quantum Systems For some years now, developments of quantum computers have been restricted by the processing speed of classical CPUs. However, scientists from Loughborough University, University of Nottingham and Innopolis University in Russia have discovered what could turn out to be a transformational characteristic of quantum bit behaviour, moving the […]
How Will Jeff Bezos’ Move Affect Amazon’s Quantum Ambitions?
