Rigetti Computing

In all honesty, there aren’t many people fit for the life of an entrepreneur, never mind one that is working in one of the most demanding sectors, tech. You’ve got to be a special kind of person. Calm and laid back but with enough curiosity on how the world is developing to ask serious questions about the direction and reason for&nbsp;it.

From Space Invaders to Quantum Computers

In recent years, we’ve seen the emergence of Quantum Computing; spearheaded by companies such as D-Wave, <a href="https://medium.com/u/8cc9c7d5570">Rigetti Computing</a>, and IBM. In a nutshell (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/Kurzgesagt/videos?view=0&amp;sort=p&amp;flow=grid">Kurzgesagt</a> 😉), Quantum Computing will revolutionize computing, allowing us to solve complex computational problems that would have been impossible on classical computers.

Quantum Computing Explained — It’s Rocket Science

While the quantum technology scene may be just booting up, there is one place that seems to be making quantum leaps in the space, metaphorically speaking, and that place is not Silicon Valley.

Quantum Computing…sounds mind blowing already.

Quantum Computers are starting to slowly become a common term in the tech/physics community. However very few people know how they work much less how to program them.

Getting Started with 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.

Quantum Computing is Schrödinger’s Opportunity

<a href="https://www.rigetti.com/" target="_blank">Rigetti</a>, a <a href="https://thenextweb.com/evergreen/2017/10/01/heres-quantum-computing-matters/" target="_blank">quantum computer</a> startup, recently announced its researchers created a method for quantum computers to run a clustering algorithm (a way for AI to separate data into groups). There are a number of companies, including IBM and Google, using AI in the development of quantum systems, but this is one of the first times quantum machine learning has been successfully tested.

Nothing Compares to Q: Why Quantum Computing Will Redefine Our World

Jensen Hauang, Nvidia's CEO made a very controversial statement about quantum computing at CES 2025. This article tells you, with sources, why he was wrong.

Quantum Computing: From Zero to Hero

About a week ago, quite accidentally, I stumbled across a documentary on Netflix called <a href="https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/80104318">Silicon Cowboys</a>. I thought I’d watch every tech documentary on Netflix, Amazon Prime and all other streaming service as well as for free on Youtube, so when this popped up on the Netflix recommendation algorithm I was pleasantly surprised. The documentary, about how Compaq competed with, and won against, IBM in the personal computer business in the early 1980s, was a revelation.

Why Tech Startup IonQ Could Be The Future Of Quantum Computing

Here, we present a compact microwave-optical transducer based on monolithic integration of piezoelectric actuators atop silicon nitride photonic circuits.

Bidirectional Microwave-optical Transduction Based on Integration: Acknowledgments

Gordon Moore, the founder of Fairchild Semiconductor and former CEO of Intel in his 1965 paper, described that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit double about every two years and this statement is famously known as Moore's Law. Moore's law was consistent for the past 50 years, but with the current technological advancements, it is coming to an end. It is starting to become physically impossible to reduce transistor sizes to increase computational efficiency further, and hence this calls for alternate methods.

An Intro to Quantum Computers

When I think of nostalgia, I don’t think about the internet or playing soccer with my friends or watching The A-Team on TV on a Saturday afternoon. Nostalgia, and I’m talking about the pure kind, was playing computer games. Back in 1985 or ‘86, my grandfather bought me a second-hand Amstrad CPC 64k personal computer. It was a machine that I cherished for many years until I dropped it one&nbsp;day.

If you have n bits sitting in your computer, there are 2ⁿ possible bit strings that they could be storing. By charting a suitable course through this huge space of possibilities, your computer can solve virtually any problem.
