Europe’s Quantum Computing Fight

Europe’s Quantum Computing Fight

Flagship Scheme With the quantum computing market forecast to snowball from $93m this year to $283m by 2024 — that’s a compound annual growth rate of 24% — it’s no surprise at the excitement over the potential the technology could bring to the table with the recent deluge in funding. This is particularly the case in Europe, where a […]

The Startup Scene in the Quantum Computer Space

Quantum Computing Arena

The Race to Harness Subatomic Particles From the first thoughts on the topic by Richard Feynman and Yuri Manin almost forty years ago to now, there’s no doubt that quantum computers (QC) are mankind’s future in one way or another. I prefer one way and another, because whichever direction this technology is heading — into an unknown […]

The Global Quantum Computer Race

Global Quantum Computer Race

The Race is On Since China has become one of the most powerful players in the world economically, there has also been a shift in which countries are developing in the technological sector, too. In the past, it was the United States and the Soviet Union/Russia, for decades locked in an ominous cold war. Over the […]

Quantum Key Distribution: A Safehouse For Banking

Quantum Key Distribution

New System Dutch bank ABN AMRO has teamed up with quantum research technology group QuTech to improve the bank’s security issues by implementing quantum architectural systems. The partnership’s key role will be the development of what they are calling Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). But what is QKD and how does it work exactly? Quantum Key Distribution […]

Quantum Computing’s Hybrid Solution

Quantum Computing’s Hybrid Solution

Complexity Issues Quantum computing (QC) is the next generation of technology which is creating a paradigm shift of such epic proportions it is historic in context. Clearly, it is a no-brainer that as time goes by, we will be using this technology more and more. At the moment, however — due to the complexity and cost of […]

Quantum Computer’s Innovation Paradox

Quantum Computer’s Innovation Paradox

Once Upon a Time We’ve all heard the stories, from sweet zero to a billion-dollar valuation. These are the humble garage beginnings in history of numerous tech startups, from Amazon to Google to Apple. Once upon a time, it was possible. Although money could be an issue, brains, a dream and determination were equally important. Be […]

The Jedi Master of Quantum Computing

  Confucius’ Influence It’s not easy being a genius — or at least that tag being ascribed to you, especially in a country like China, where showing humility in your achievements, not standing out from the crowd and working in a team are all held in high regard. These are the vestiges, I suppose, of Confucianism. They […]

Move Over Qubit, There’s a New Q in Town: The Qudit

quantum computing’s

  Discovery With all shouts of new discoveries in quantum computers almost a daily occurrence — and with counter voices such as Professor Peter Cochran’s backing the opinion that most of it is bunkum (and that Quantum Supremacy is decades away at best, too) — no one will be surprised at the latest claims made by a group of […]

Humanising Quantum Computers

Humanising Quantum Computers

  Quantum Whenever a phrase with the word ‘quantum’ pops up in a conversation, you can be guaranteed that someone in the room will sigh, stare at you with a blank expression of total resignation and ask you to explain what it is. If you’re a physicist, the task should be an easy one. At […]
