Is There a Probabilistic Computer in Your Future?
Even as the quantum computing community chases reliable systems, innovation continues around developing techniques that ‘mimic’ some of quantum computing’s capabilities but run on less complicated machines. Welcome to ‘probabilistic computing” or at least a step in that direction. Researchers from Purdue University and Tohoku University published a proof-of-concept study in Nature last week in which they created and used probabilistic bits (p-bits) to factorize integers up to 945. The work, led by Kerem Casmari (Purdue) and Shunsuke Fukami (Tohoku), seems to be well suited for classes of optimization (energy cost) problems. If this sounds a bit like adiabatic quantum annealing, you’re correct, although the authors say it can be also used to emulate gate-based quantum computing. The researchers write ... READ MORE

Industry reaction to Google’s quiet claim of quantum supremacy
Quantum computing has business potential, though the concept of quantum supremacy is easy to misinterpret. Jumping the shark could result in reduced interest and investment. ... READ MORE
