It’s time to stop doubting quantum information technology. Are we there yet? No. Not by a long shot. But the progress on a number of key challenges, the sheer number of organizations fighting to succeed (and make a buck), the no-turning-back public investment, and nasty international rivalry are all good guarantors. The post Quantum Computing […]

A recent collaboration among researchers from HUN-REN Wigner Research Centre for Physics in Hungary and the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), along with industry collaborators SandboxAQ and Nvidia, has achieved unprecedented speed and performance in efforts to model complex metal-containing molecules.  The collaboration resulted in 2.5 times the performance improvement over previous […]

Nuclear fission — when the nucleus of an atom splits in two, releasing energy — may seem like a process that is fully understood. First discovered in 1939 and thoroughly studied ever since, fission is a constant factor in modern life, used in everything from nuclear medicine to power-generating nuclear reactors. However, it is a […]

A team of researchers, led by scientist Lin Zhou of Ames National Laboratory, has made important progress towards understanding the role of surface oxides in improving quantum computing circuits performance. Surface oxides are a primary cause of decoherence, or loss of quantum properties in quantum circuits. The team is part of a larger effort by […]

Imagine a future where quantum computing is as accessible as the smartphone in your pocket. Where a quantum chip is embedded in your laptop, or thousands of quantum chips are deployed in supercomputing centres, forming the world’s most powerful quantum supercomputers. With this vision, Quantum Brilliance partnered with Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre to develop the […]

Citizen mathematicians are using GPUs to find the highest prime numbers based on specific computing formulas. As it turns out, it is also a good way to stress test GPUs and map progress in computing capabilities over decades. A project called the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS) has discovered the highest Mersenne prime number, […]

A good machine-learning algorithm is a powerful research accelerator. Pair it with a computer simulation and it can sniff out mathematical shortcuts through the program, propelling scientists to faster insights about the effects of drugs on cells or the potential of rocket engines to send humankind to Mars and beyond. New research is putting this […]

Rapid advancements in quantum computing are bringing a new era of technological possibilities. However, as quantum technology progresses, there are growing concerns about the availability of resources—a challenge reminiscent of the recent shortage of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) faced by companies in the AI sector. The post Quantum and AI: Navigating the Resource Challenge appeared […]

Researchers from the University of Toronto have used AI to generate a “recipe” for an exciting new catalyst needed to produce green hydrogen fuel. As the effects of climate change begin to become more apparent in our everyday lives, research like this could open the door to green hydrogen fuel that could be used for […]

A recent news release from Data storage company WEKA and S&P Global Market Intelligence unveiled the findings of their second annual Global Trends in AI report. The global study, conducted by S&P Global Market Intelligence and commissioned by WEKA, surveyed over 1500 AI practitioners and decision-makers to understand the underlying trends influencing AI adoption and […]
