Unitary Fund backed, Gate42, is Putting Armenia on the QC Map
Whether or not the smaller countries of the world get to show what they can offer the QC world will depend very much on groups such as one in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia Photo by Rafael Ishkhanyan on Unsplash Obscure Regions If you’re a technologist, futurist or just a boffin for all things futuristic, 2020 […]
New Theory Hints at More Efficient Way to Develop Quantum Algorithms
In 2019, Google claimed it was the first to demonstrate a quantum computer performing a calculation beyond the abilities of today’s most powerful supercomputers. But most of the time, creating a quantum algorithm that stands a chance at beating a classical computer is an accidental process, Purdue University scientists say. To bring more guidance to this process […]
31 Quantum Computing Hardware Companies Building Future
We’re nowhere near where we need to be in quantum computing hardware for us to create viable use cases. Quantum computing hardware companies nowadays are pushing towards that goal at unpredictable speed. Think back for a moment— to the late 1950s, or early 1960s, when vacuum tubes gave way to your more solid-state devices like […]
Xanadu Releases World’s First Photonic Quantum Computer in the Cloud
