IBM’s Quantum Computing Outreach is for Its Survival How to Build an Ecosystem Strategy… Excerpts and salient points ~ + By 1980, IBM had hit an inflection point. It had already missed out on the minicomputer revolution. Now, with new, even smaller “microcomputers” evolving into […]
IBM continues to show unanticipated progress towards what will become a Quantum backed AI Excerpts and salient points ~ + IBM has the largest public Quantum effort and arguably has the lead in Quantum Computing development though companies like Alphabet, Intel, and Microsoft are accelerating […]
IBM Gobbles Up Notre Dame. IBM is adding Notre Dame University to its retinue of higher-learning establishments joining the IBM Q Network. University of Louisville, University of Colorado, University of North Carolina…and on and on. Smart move on IBM’s part? Time will tell. Qubit. Notre […]
IBM Q Network Expands. Brookhaven Joins the IBM Q Network Hub at Oak Ridge National Lab. This hub is part of a worldwide community of businesses, universities, and research labs that seeks to advance quantum computing and explore its scientific and business applications. April 10, […]
Quantum State Leakage Detectable; Leading to Error-correction Techniques. Quantum computers are designed to process information using quantum bits, and promise huge speedups in scientific computing and codebreaking Current prototype devices are publicly accessible but highly error prone: information can ‘leak’ into unwanted states Computer program […]
IBM Teams with Universities to Develop Quantum Computing Workforce. Major corporations continued taking their quantum computing efforts to universities. Recent announcements from IBM highlight new efforts with universities in the United States. New collaboration between the University of Chicago and IBM on the heels of IBM’s […]
IBM Q System One: Too Soon? IBM’s unveiling of Q System One is indicative of the confidence that quantum is coming. But at what pace? Quantum computing’s unattainable cost for most corporations, and many governments, shackled to a crisis of the global lack of highly-technical skillsets […]
Barclays Keen on Quantum Computing. This past December, Barclays joined the IBM Q Network. Barclay’s membership is one of several Fortune 500 companies, numerous startups, research labs and universities who are part of the IBM Q. “The membership gives the bank access to IBM’s quantum processors […]
Calculating Quantum Computing’s Return-on-Investment. Calculating the return on investment for quantum computing investments, today, is quite complicated. “Even though companies like IBM, Intel, and Google might have softer cushions if the risk bubble pops before commercialization, the R&D investments are all sizable, especially for those who […]
Exxon Mobil and IBM Q Team Up. The energy sector has joined the IBM Q network. Exxon Mobil announced the company will harness the human resources and quantum computing IBM offers. Exxon’s VP of research and development sees great value in quantum computing’s simulation of nature […]
IBM Q System One. This week, IBM announced Q System One at the Consumer Electronics Show 2019, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Q System One is the first superconducting quantum computer to operate beyond the lab. The vision is to solve problems classical computing systems […]
Moving Beyond Theory: Chemical Modelling. Using IBM’s Q Network, Cambridge Quantum Computing and the JSR Corporation claim to have successfully implemented quantum algorithms. The algorithms were used to calculate “the excited states of molecules that take into account multi-reference characteristics.” This advance in quantum algorithm […]
