The Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) era refers to the current phase of quantum computing, characterized by quantum processors with up to 1,000 qubits that are error-prone and not yet capable of fault-tolerant operations.
Last week, I recorded a media podcast about the current state of quantum computing. I’ll post a link to it when it is available, but today I’m discussing something that we chatted about in the prep that did not make…
Today’s Brief Commentary: I’m going out on a limb here and define “quantum utility” as “still not practical at scale for problems we care about, but seemingly going in the right direction.” I genuinely dislike its other manifestations as a…
Today’s Brief Commentary: At the beginning of my talk at Quantum.Tech DC last week, I showed the above image as the bridge that quantum computing providers are trying to build and cross to give us Practical Quantum Advantage. I define…
Today’s Brief Commentary: Today’s first link in the post-quantum cryptography section is about OpenSSH adopting one of the NIST PQC standards. OpenSSH is a widely adopted open-source implementation of the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol, offering secure solutions for remote access,…
Today’s Brief Commentary: It was a busy week in the quantum realm, with IonQ releasing Q4 2024 and FY 2024 earnings and getting a new CEO, and Amazon Web Services/ CalTech announcing a cat qubit prototype quantum processing unit. I…
Commentary and a selection of the most important recent news, articles, and papers about Quantum. Today’s Brief Commentary Someone once said to me, and I paraphrase, “Beware of giving analogies when speaking about quantum computing. They will eventually go wrong,…
Commentary and a selection of the most important recent news, articles, and papers about Quantum. Today’s Brief Commentary Today’s links are primarily about quantum computing, with a couple of others thrown in about a quantum game and quantum networking. Start…
Commentary and a selection of the most important recent news, articles, and papers about Quantum. Today’s Brief Commentary I’m catching up after attending and speaking at the Inside Quantum Technology Quantum+AI conference in New York City this week. As a…
Commentary and a selection of the most important recent news, articles, and papers about Quantum. Today’s Brief Commentary I tweaked today’s edition’s title to insert the word “useful.” After all, we want our computing systems, classical or quantum, to be…
