Cambridge Quantum

The race for quantum computing dominance is on with four protagonists: IBM, Microsoft, Alibaba and Google. Whereas most of the attention in the quantum world is focused on the new generation of super computers that are breaking computation records regularly, we shouldn’t forget about the developers that are going to be building the first wave of quantum applications. Microsoft took the initiative to attract developers to the quantum world by releasing the first version of its <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/quantum/development-kit" target="_blank">Quantum Developer Kit</a> which even includes a new programming language called Q#. Yesterday, at the <a href="https://www.tqc2018.org/" target="_blank">First International Workshop on Quantum Software and Quantum Machine Learning</a>(QSML), Google decided to enter the race by releasing the first public alpha of Cirq, an open source framework that allow developers to create algorithms without needing a background in quantum physics.

Google Cirq and the New World of Quantum Programming

In the past few weeks, I’ve ended up <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/learning" target="_blank">learning</a> a little about quantum computing. I’ve enjoyed discussions with leaders from Microsoft’s quantum team, IBM Q, Ctrl-Q, IonQ and the Cambridge Quantum Computing centre. I even saw a <a href="https://twitter.com/azeem/status/1017342987884482560" target="_blank">model of the distillation refrigerator of an IBM quantum processor</a>. The processor needs to be cooled to close to absolute zero to operate. (For more amazing pics of how liquid-helium-punk these rigs are, <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/40748696@N07/sets/72157663611181258" target="_blank">check this out</a>.) This essay is dedicated to questioning: what’s holding back investors from putting more money into quantum startups and general R&amp;D.

As the proverbial hits the fan about “<a href="https://www.ft.com/content/f369e670-2ac3-11e8-9b4b-bc4b9f08f381" target="_blank">Steve Bannon’s psychological warfare mindfuck tool</a>,” the lessons we’re learning about humanity’s evolution are great news — if you’re willing to look at the bigger picture. In order to explain what I mean by this, I’m first going to have to spend a few minutes laying out what’s missing from most of the reporting of the <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/facebook" target="_blank">Facebook</a> scandal, how society (and specifically democracy) works, how our collective intelligence is evolving and why the emergence of <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/blockchain" target="_blank">blockchain</a> technologies is perfect timing. Finally, I’ll lay out what — specifically — we can learn about data ownership, data usage and the functioning of a blockchain-driven society.
