Stuart Woods is the newly appointed Chief Operating Officer of Quantum Exponential. He has more than 30 years of experience leading technology companies, ranging from startups to publicly traded, multi-million-pound businesses. Previously Managing Director at […]
In physics, one often has to deal with different scales that can be described separately from one another: For the Earth’s orbit around the sun, it makes absolutely no difference whether an elephant in the […]
Insider Brief USC announced a $1 billion-plus initiative for computing research and education across disciplines. The effort will include a new school, recruitment of 30 new faculty in the first three years and the integration […]
What is a Quantum Annealer? By utilizing properties specific to quantum physics such as quantum tunnelling, entanglement, and superposition, quantum annealing (QA) (related to adiabatic quantum computation) is a method for solving problems involving a […]
The major developments in human history are always steeped in dark ironies. Yes, that’s my Law of Dark Irony, the whole thing. I don’t know why it’s true, but it certainly seems to be. Taking […]
Insider Brief The White House released the United States Government’s National Standards Strategy for Critical and Emerging Technology. The strategy is aimed at strengthening American technology’s foundation and safeguard consumers while promoting U.S. leadership and […]
For the first time, researchers have demonstrated a prototype lidar system that uses quantum detection technology to acquire 3D images while submerged underwater. The high sensitivity of this system could allow it to capture detailed […]
Insider Brief Terra Quantum and Thales Group have applied hybrid quantum computing to demonstrate significant value creation potential for improving satellite operational utility. Results suggest hybrid quantum-enabled models could lead to significant higher revenue potential […]
Life on other worlds — if it exists — might be so alien as to be unrecognizable. There’s no guarantee that alien biology would use the same chemistries as on Earth, with familiar building blocks […]
Large numbers can only be factorized with a great deal of computational effort. Physicists are now providing a blueprint for a new type of quantum computer to solve the factorization problem, which is a cornerstone […]
