It's Just Technology
Microsoft announced a major milestone in its quantum computing efforts on Wednesday, unveiling its first quantum computing chip, called Majorana 1.
Jason Zander, Microsoft’s executive VP of strategic missions and technologies explains this breakthrough and how it gets quantum computing technology closer to real world applications. Zander speaks to Bloomberg Technology’s Jackie Davalos.
CNBC’s Kate Rooney reports on the latest regarding quantum computing stocks.
Google said that it has overcome a key challenge in quantum computing with a new generation of Willow chip, solving a computing problem in five minutes that would take a classical computer more time than the history of the universe.
The possibility of a chip so fast that it may be tapping into parallel universes.
Google has unveiled its latest quantum chip, Willow, marking a groundbreaking moment in the journey toward practical quantum computing. This chip represents a significant step forward, overcoming key challenges in the field and showcasing the potential of quantum technologies to transform industries.
Bitcoin fell after Google unveiled its quantum supercomputer Willow that can perform extremely complex computational tasks in no time. Will this be the end for blockchain security? CoinDesk’s Christine Lee presents the “Chart of the Day.”
Google said that it has overcome a key challenge in quantum computing with a new generation of chip, solving a computing problem in five minutes that would take a classical computer more time than the history of the universe.
Watch Google’s Quantum AI director of hardware, Julian Kelly, show off Google’s new Quantum Computing Chip capabilities, performing a standard benchmark computation in less than 5 minutes that would take modern supercomputers 10 septillion years to complete.
Last week, DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis said that AI might be able to solve problems that quantum computers were supposedly necessary for. Indeed he said that classical systems – AI run on conventional computers – can model quantum systems. Sounds like an innocent claim but is certain to upset a lot of quantum computing researchers. Hassabis bases his argument on the surprising success of Alphafold.
Quantum computers have been hailed as a game-changing technological development that could revolutionize research, commerce, and communication. Today, the UK opened its national quantum computing center, the first step in an attempt to become a world leader in the technology.
