GUEST: We are in a race for quantum supremacy. Google, IBM, and researchers across the globe are working on solving the most complex of computations, computations that could only be solved by the most advanced quantum computers. Quantum computers are very similar to the computers in households today — only much more powerful. So powerful, […]
Alibaba Group announced today that it’s launching a new research organization aimed at tackling emerging technologies like machine learning, network security, the internet of things, and quantum computing. It’s called the Academy for Discovery, Adventure, Momentum and Outlook (referred to as the DAMO Academy for short), and Alibaba plans to recruit 100 researchers to staff […]
Quantum computers don’t exist but Microsoft released a programming language for them. https://media.wired.com/photos/59c8877aab8eb051cbfd616c/master/pass/microsoft-nadella-681557990.jpg Feed: All Latest
Physicists are trying to rewrite the axioms of quantum theory from scratch in an effort to understand what it all means. The problem? They’ve been almost too successful. https://media.wired.com/photos/59a8b8f9d5f6b4414c0d86fb/master/pass/QuantumReconstruction_2880x1500-2880×1500.jpg Feed: All Latest
Hashtags could soon be useful for a lot more than fostering discussion on your favorite social network. Researchers have developed a hashtag-shaped quantum chip (shown below) that could confirm the existence of the oddball Majorana particle, which exists as both matter and antimatter at the same time. The team has learned that laying indium phosphide […]
A Chinese physicist hopes that quantum communications will span multiple countries by 2030. So … what’s it for? https://media.wired.com/photos/59922e1aeaa1133714a47bd2/master/pass/Quantum-FeatureArt-603192399.jpg Feed: All Latest
While the Russo Brothers are undertaking the gargantuan task of directing two Avengers movies back to back (it’s practically three, if you count Captain America: Civil War), they’re looking ahead to what will happen after the cinematic battle between Thanos and Earth’s mightiest heroes. The pair haven’t officially signed on for more Marvel Studios films yet, but […]
Enlarge / It’s now possible to precisely fabricate very small pillars. (credit: Stanford University) In recent years, there has been a lot of interest in coupling sound and light together. Admittedly, we’ve been doing this for a long time, but we’ve always been limited in terms of what we can do by the ways that nature […]
Whether or not you believe Google has honest-to-goodness quantum computers, the bigger problem is their limited access: they’re largely off-limits outside of the company itself. That could change sooner than you think, though. Bloomberg sources understand that Google is gearing up toward using its quantum systems in a “faster, more powerful” computing service than it […]
Julian Kelly/University of California, Santa Barbara, Google Google is maintaining its edge in the world of quantum computing. Its 20-qubit processor is currently undergoing tests, and the company appears to be on schedule to have its working 49-qubit chip ready by the end of 2017 as promised. Until it began trialing the 20-qubit chip, Google’s […]
