How quantum computers work: Explaining qubits to quantum superposition

Quantum computing promises to deliver processing power that surpasses current supercomputers. So far, however, they have only managed a few specialised computations.

London-based start-up Quantum Motion, has taken an approach that utilises an already well-tested and ubiquitous material: silicon to build its quantum computers. For Quantum Motion co-founder, John Morton, silicon allows fast and cheap manufacturing of quantum processors that could soon put the power of quantum computing in the palm of our hands. We visited their test facility to find out more.

What is Quantum Computing?

What is a Quantum Computer? How is it different from traditional computing? In this video Jessie Yu explains the five key elements of a quantum computer and the implications for quantum computing.

IBM’s New Light Speed Processor Shocks The Entire Industry!

Do you want your gadgets to be faster? What if your phone can cut the time it takes to
complete tasks? Or your computer can compute way faster? Most of us do, but with the
state of current technology, the truth is, they aren’t likely to get much faster than they
are! For the past decade and a half, the clock rate of single processor cores has stalled
at a few Gigahertz, and it is getting harder to push the boundaries of the famous
Moore’s law! However, a new invention by IBM may change all of that! What are optical
circuits, how do they work, and how will they make your devices faster? Join us as we
dive into the new optical circuit that surpasses every CPU known to humans!

More Than Moore’s Law – What’s Next?

Moore’s Law has been the rule of thumb that has propelled innovation in computing power of the last few decades. We have however finally reached a point where Moore’s Law no longer strictly applies but its idea of innovation still carries on through other channels of chasing computing power.

This video discusses the end of Moore’s Law and which exciting innovations will carry on its principle into the future.

Why This Breakthrough Quantum Computer From IBM Will Change Computing Forever

IBM unveils its newest Osprey quantum computer, which has 433 qubits, equivalent to 3 times the processing power as IBM’s previous generation 127 qubits chip using its Eagle architecture, making it possible to address extremely complex use-cases like artificial intelligence, energy research, drug development, and materials synthesis. IBM is on track to achieve 4000 qubits by 2025 and quantum supremacy as it continues to deliver on its roadmap.

Scientists have built the first parts of a molecular computer, which uses -1, 0, and +1 instead of traditional bits to accomplish molecular computing, but still much work remains.

Researchers have developed a material that learns like the human brain to function like a neuromorphic device.
