USC-Lockheed Martin’s QCC Will Upgrade to D-Wave’s Forthcoming 5,000-Qubit Advantage System
The USC-Lockheed Martin Quantum Computing Center (QCC), hosted at USC’s Information Sciences Institute (ISI) of the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, renewed its long-term relationship with D-Wave and Lockheed Martin, leading to important upgrades at the facility, according to a university news release. QCC will upgrade to D-Wave’s forthcoming Advantage™ system with more than 5000 […]
DARPA Challenge May Boost Quantum Value of NISQ Devices
John Preskill first referred to quantum computer models that are almost ready for prime time as Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum devices. No disrespect to Dr. Preskill, but the moniker has something that marketers might call a branding problem. When we think of “noisy,” we think of clunky, rattling junkers that are headed toward the scrap heap. And, “intermediate-scale” could […]

The Coming Quantum App Store for QC Programmers
Quantum Computing? There’s an app for that. While quantum computer programming is relegated to a niche of a niche of computer programmers, Dario Gil, the director of IBM Research said that the technology is destined to appeal to a much broader group of programmers and will be much more accessible to all. He said soon […]
Zapata Computing announces Novel Approach to Optimizing Use of Quantum Hardware
Zapata Computing published a significant paper on maximizing the power of near-term quantum computers. The company’s breakthrough approach may help unlock the potential of NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) machines along the road to future fault-tolerant quantum machines. A team of the paper’s authors will host a live discussion on the research and proposed methods on […]
