The Quantum Insider
Making Quantum Technology accessible through media, news, insights and data
Quantum researchers and scientists -- from public to private sectors -- were pretty busy this week.
Their studies may have passed under the radar for the most part, but they should excite us in the quantum community because they are precisely the advances -- maybe incremental and maybe not with all the headlines in the mainstream media -- that are targeted at solutions where today's quantum machines can make a difference.
This is good news, on one hand, but an EY survey also offers a bit of concern... Quantum is getting ready for us, but are we ready for Quantum?
We'll take a look at those research advances, those concerns about quantum and more quantum news in this week's TQI QuickBits below. And, for a full list of this week's news and insights, check out?The Quantum Insider newsletter?and please share with your friends.
Quantum Questions...
Are you ready for quantum computing?
81% of senior UK executives expect quantum computing to play a significant role in their industry by 2030...
However... only 33% are engaged in strategic planning related to quantum computing and a quarter have appointed specialist leaders or set up pilot teams.
Quick Snapshots from TQI's Intelligence Platform
Here's a look at the varieties of funding rounds in quantum since 2013, according to The Quantum Insider's Intelligence Platform -- How the landscape has changed!
Quantum Quotes
New research from Q-CTRL points toward quantum use in the transportation industry.
"There is nothing glamorous, nothing exciting about transport optimisation. But using quantum to optimise routes – and that is a necessity given the number of agents and general complexity – will have a major impact on pollution. Given that global warming is an existential issue, maybe one should reassess what is exciting!"--

2 年Remember the old problem of the traveling salesperson. This was about finding the best route in a city for a salesperson to visit all their customers most efficiently. This used to be a real problem for traditional computers with original rules-based AI. Even with modern ML & AI it still has its problems. Turns out it's a lot more complicated then you might think to do this. However, with the power of Quantum computing, this is not such a problem. Logistics may not sound to some like an interesting domain. But to be able to do that you could much more easily find efficient market responses for thousands of transactions a second concurently, or coordination of very large construction projects or even a cure for cancer. Imagine that
