That’s Hot: Intel, QuTech Demonstrate Path to Controlling Qubits in Warm Temps
In what’s described as a hot advance for quantum computing, Intel, in collaboration with QuTech, demonstrated the successful control of “hot” qubits, the fundamental unit of quantum computing, at temperatures greater than 1 kelvin, according to a statement from Intel. The researchers, who published their findings in Nature, said this advance is another step toward […]

Will Africa miss the next computational revolution?
The views in this article are my own, drawn from personal experience and research. One may argue that the future of quantum computing is rather uncertain. Its success rests heavily on the development of large-scale quantum devices that can perform universal computation. That being said, the allure of potential quantum computing applications has enticed many […]

McKinsey Forecasts Quantum Computing Market Could Reach $1 trillion by 2035
Healthy scepticism We’re always interested to see the latest estimates on the size of the market for Quantum Computing (QC). The ranges are so wide and the numbers so made up its more of a pastime of bemused curiosity, than anything else. That said, when McKinsey say something, a lot of people listen, given its […]
What is Quantum Computing? Here’s What You Need To Know.
When I was ten, I went with my family to watch the Marvel movie, Ant-Man. If you’ve never watched it before, it’s about a man who uses the laws of quantum physics to shrink down to the size of an ant. This movie was the first time I had ever heard of quantum anything and […]

Inventing Grover’s Algorithm
Why I’m Obsessed with Grover’s Algorithm During the past months I’ve been obsessed with studying what some people call Quantum Computing Textbook Algorithms. These are a set of algorithms that often appear in introductory books to Quantum Computing. They are used in order to introduce some of the unique properties of the computational model and […]
