D-Wave’s 5000 qubit Analog quantum processor handles 1 million variables for large-scale, business-critical problems, now plans gate-based quantum computing

June 21, 2022 Industry, Quantum Comments Off on D-Wave’s 5000 qubit Analog quantum processor handles 1 million variables for large-scale, business-critical problems, now plans gate-based quantum computing

D-Wave is the only company selling large quantum computers. It sold its first system in 2011 . The earlier D-Wave 2X™ quantum computing system featured a 1000+ qubit quantum processor and numerous design improvements that resulted in larger problem sizes, faster performance and higher precision. “Breaking the 1000 qubit barrier marks the …

Quantum cryptography (QC) or Quantum key distribution (QKD) are assumed hackproof but its implementations have vulnerabilities

June 17, 2022 Cyber, Quantum Comments Off on Quantum cryptography (QC) or Quantum key distribution (QKD) are assumed hackproof but its implementations have vulnerabilities

Quantum computers could undermine almost all of the encryption protocols that we use today. Though quantum computers are still quite some way from being practical, usable machines, once they become so, we could be looking at a whole new world when it comes to online privacy — one in which …

Europe and US launch Quantum testbeds and Quantum loop to catchup China in Quantum Communications Race

June 11, 2022 Comm. & NW, Geopolitics, Quantum Comments Off on Europe and US launch Quantum testbeds and Quantum loop to catchup China in Quantum Communications Race

The race to conquer the quantum domain is among the most fiercely competitive in today’s world of technology. One important quantum technology is Quantum key distribution (QKD), that establishes highly secure keys between distant parties by using single photons to transmit each bit of the key. Quantum cryptography is unbreakable …

DARPA Quantum Apertures (QA) developing employing Rydberg atoms for military electronic warfare, radar, and communications.

June 5, 2022 Electronics & EW, Quantum Comments Off on DARPA Quantum Apertures (QA) developing employing Rydberg atoms for military electronic warfare, radar, and communications.

The world, say many experts, is on the verge of a second quantum revolution. Many scientists believe that quantum will enjoy its first real commercial success in sensing. That’s because sensing can take advantage of the very characteristic that makes building a quantum computer so difficult: the extraordinary sensitivity of …

Quantum Computers for High-Performance Computing (HPC) data centers

May 31, 2022 AI & IT, Quantum Comments Off on Quantum Computers for High-Performance Computing (HPC) data centers

High Performance Computing (HPC) refers to the practice of aggregating computing power in a way that delivers much higher horsepower than traditional computers and servers. HPC, or supercomputing, is like everyday computing, only more powerful. It is a way of processing huge volumes of data at very high speeds using …

Quantum Memory for Quantum Computers

March 23, 2022 Quantum Comments Off on Quantum Memory for Quantum Computers

Just as classical computers are unthinkable without memories, quantum memories will be essential elements for future quantum information processors. Quantum memories are devices that can store quantum information for a long time with very high fidelity and efficiency. Quantum memories are devices that can store the quantum state of a photon, …
