Quantinuum’s Post

Today Quantinuum and STFC Hartree Centre announce a development that will be foundational to start exploiting the power of hybrid HPC and Supercomputing resources alongside quantum computers. Our H-series quantum processor is now incapable of being classically simulated in key areas, and this performance will grow exponentially. A few years ago our test bed results - which we did not publish - created a cornerstone for the steady achievement of world records in performance and fidelity. Having addressed the question of how our quantum processors will scale by solving the so called 'wiring problem' we are now at the early stages of quantum devices that will solve some of the world's most intractable problems. Doing so here in the UK is of vital importance as Britain continues to lead the world in harnessing these technologies. I could not be more proud and more excited. #ai #quantumcomputing #quantumtechnologies

🚨 Exciting quantum computing news! 🚨 The National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC), based at the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, has partnered with IBM to provide UK researchers with cloud access to IBM's Quantum’s Premium Plan, including IBM’s fleet of quantum computing systems. 👩💻 The announcement was made as part of the 2023 UK National Quantum Technologies Showcase, and will provide researchers across the UK with the advanced computing power necessary to push the boundaries of their field. Dr Michael Cuthbert, Director of NQCC, said of the announcement: "Providing assured quantum computing access is an important step in contributing towards the national effort. "The agreement with IBM will enable the NQCC to provide utility-level quantum computing resources for the UK’s vibrant research community, which will open new avenues of fundamental and applied research, with the prospect of boosting the development of novel technologies and drive new discoveries."

For those going to SPIE Photonics West, I highly encourage you to check out this talk from Carl Williams: "Quantum West Business Summit: Benefits and Risks in Quantum Computing". Abstract: Quantum computing is an emerging tech with significant implications for both national prosperity and security. The commercial quantum computing industry is rapidly growing and aims to achieve practical applications in the coming years. In this presentation, I will examine the current knowledge on potential quantum computing uses, advancements in the industry, and their implications on public key infrastructure. I will provide a sense of what the likely timeline is for both for economically viable quantum computation and cryptgraphically relevant quantum attacks. Finally, I will discuss the development of quantum-safe cryptographic standards and offer guidance for transitioning cryptographic infrastructure to withstand quantum-based attacks. Our objective is to equip security experts and policy makers with non-hyped insights into the economic and security impacts of quantum computing. https://lnkd.in/emrt3Hvc #QuantumComputing #QuantumTech #QuantumPolicy #SciPol

The potential security threats from quantum are clear. But Brussels shows little impetus to regulate the technology. https://lnkd.in/gqiwz7gs. And: Finding & Erasing Quantum Computing Errors in Realtime. https://lnkd.in/gkrNBVZ8

Meaningful quantum computers were 20-30 years away two years ago. Earlier this year we had 10 years left. Now we have 1 year left. The only thing that is constant is that the estimates keep getting closer and closer in. https://lnkd.in/g2DqPy9g

Today, cryptography utilizes AES (2^256). For those intrigued by intricacies, the estimated number of atoms in the visible universe (about 2 trillion galaxies) is around 10^80 or 2^265. Challenges in quantum computing arise due to noise at 100 qubits (2^100). Imagine balancing 100 spinning coins simultaneously on their edges, where slight environmental disturbances can cause the quantum states (the "spin" of the coins) to collapse, disrupting calculations. Despite being complex and operating at near absolute zero temperatures, quantum computers are essentially powerful permutation calculators, outperforming supercomputers in tasks like factoring large primes. However, their superiority is not universal especially in parallel processing.

Quantum computing, utilizing qubits instead of traditional bits, promises revolutionary capabilities in cybersecurity, biology, and finance. To prepare for this quantum shift, businesses should retrain talent, embrace quantum-ready infrastructure, and recognize that general-purpose quantum computers are still years away. Early investment in quantum computing offers a competitive advantage. </div><div class="read-more"><a href="" class="more-link">Continue reading</a>https://lnkd.in/gV9JAAkg
