Toshiba’s ‘quantum-inspired computer’ is out of the cloud, on desktops
Toshiba has a certain type of ‘quantum computers’ in the clouds and they decided to bring them out and put them in Japanese desktops. They are going by the fancy name “simulated bifurcation machines” and use “quantum-inspired algorithms”. They run on a field-programmable gate array (FPG... Read more
Europe to boost semiconductor production, build quantum computer
The European Union wants to make a fifth of the globe’s cutting-edge semiconductors by the end of the decade. It also wants to make its first quantum computer within the next five years.
All of this is part of an effort by the bloc to reduce its dependence on non-European tech.
The EU plan ... Read more
IBM scientists prove existing quantum computers
The scientific community is waiting for a large-scale quantum computer that they can use to carry out difficult but crucial calculations. Meanwhile, a team of IBM researchers has decided to approach this problem from a different angle, which will allow them to get results right now.
Given that t... Read more
