Riverlane’s New Operating System May Mark a ‘Key Stage in Commercial Development of Quantum Computers’
Riverlane has reached a key stage in the commercial development of quantum computers with the successful trial of Deltaflow.OS, our high-performance, universal operating system. In Deltaflow.OS, applications are implemented on quantum hardware through a carefully chosen interface, or “hardware abstraction layer.” “For example, computational chemistry applications important in drug discovery or materials design, will run […]
Ten(ish) Non-Tech, Non-Quantum Companies That Are Set to Seize Quantum Advantage
When we think about quantum computing, we tend to think of companies and startups that are either purely quantum-based, or at least are being nurtured by technology companies, like Google and Microsoft. Quantum computers, after all, require lots of sophisticated equipment, lots of specific expertise and lots of money to build, maintain and use. But […]
