Computerworld - Google’s Quantum chip claims 13,000x speed advantage over supercomputers | The breakthrough, announced on Wednesday, marks the first time a quantum computer has executed a verifiable algorithm with real-world applications, potentially accelerating enterprise workloads in computational chemistry, molecular modeling, and materials engineering that are currently constrained by classical computing limitations. |
SiliconANGLE - Google demonstrates verifiable quantum simulation that reveals molecular shapes | Quantum Echoes is a new quantum-computing algorithm developed by Google’s Quantum AI team that works a bit like playing a piece of music forwards and then backwards in an echo chamber to reveal hidden harmonics. In this case, the “music” is the simulation of quantum motions of molecules, and the “echo” is a clever reversal of those motions inside the quantum processor so that software can pick out the subtle quantum effects. |
First, by combining multiple QPUs through circuit knitting technology, it is possible to overcome the limitations of a single QPU in terms of qubit count and computational capacity, enabling larger-scale quantum computing tasks. Circuit knitting technology can decompose complex quantum circuits into multiple sub-circuits, which are then distributed to different QPUs for parallel processing. | |
SiliconANGLE - Quantum computer developer IonQ to raise $2B in funding | IonQ’s flagship product is a quantum computer called Forte Enterprise that contains 36 qubits. Those qubits are implemented as ions, or atoms with an electrical charge. The system uses lasers to encode data into the qubits, carry out calculations and read the results. |
Network World - Cisco expands its quantum networking portfolio with new software prototypes | Cisco’s Quantum Labs designed a software stack that includes three layers: an application layer with a network-aware distributed quantum computing compiler that supports quantum algorithm execution in a networked quantum data center; a control layer with quantum networking protocols and algorithms that support the applications as well as manage the devices (hardware and software) that make up a quantum network through northbound and southbound APIs; and a third layer for device support, consisting of an SDK and APIs to physical devices as well as a library of emulated and simulated ones. |
Information Week - Oak Ridge Puts Quantum Supercomputer Integration to the Test | "There are all kinds of remarkable things that we think quantum computers could do," said Travis Humble, director of the Quantum Science Center at Oak Ridge. "But to have even more impact, we would like to integrate that capability with our high-performance computing systems. If we could combine quantum computers with those, that would be an amazing process." |
SiliconANGLE - Five forces shaping the next wave of quantum innovation | Quantum computers are expected to solve problems currently intractable for even the world’s fastest supercomputers. Their core strengths — efficiently finding hidden patterns in complex datasets and navigating vast optimization challenges — will enable the design of novel drugs and materials, the creation of superior financial algorithms and open new frontiers in cryptography and cybersecurity. |
Information Week - Backplane to the Future: InfiniBand Technology Meets Quantum | Quantum computing represents uncharted territory for high-performance computing centers, with few, if any, definitive waypoints to guide deployment. But in their pioneering pursuit to connect quantum and classical supercomputers, HPC facilities have an opportunity to lean on some mainstay HPC to bridge the gap. |
