Google and NASA are teaming up to construct a laboratory built around a 512 qubit quantum computer from D-Wave. The endeavor, known as the Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab, will be used primarily for machine learning – a process that computers use to study and “learn” patters to better interpret and… … Read More
Google Buys a Quantum Computer
Google and NASA are forming a joint research lab to look at quantum computing for things like facial recognition and understanding of disease. Their computer is from D-Wave Systems, which appears to be producing quantum computing results years earlier than many expected. … Read More
Quantum computer dominates traditional PC in head-to-head battle
Computer scientists have been singing the praises of quantum computers for years but the question remains: How do they stack up against a traditional high-end PC? We finally have an answer to that question as Catherine McGeoch from Amherst College, Massachusetts, recently put a commercially available quantum computer from D-Wave… … Read More
A Quantum Computer Aces Its Test
An Amherst computer scientist hired by D-Wave Systems found that one of its computers, said to be using quantum properties, had achieved speeds 3,600 times that of a conventional computer in one test. For sheer performance, it appears to be a triumph, but for theorists, questions remain. … Read More
Government lab admits to running a "quantum internet" for years
A government-owned lab in Los Alamos claims it has been running a “quantum internet” for more than two years, MIT Technology Review reports. Researchers worked around the traditional difficulties of interlinking quantum-based networks by creating something of a classical-quantum network hybrid. … Read More

Creating Canada’s ‘Quantum Valley’
Two co-founders of BlackBerry have started a $100 million fund to invest in companies using quantum physics. They plan to help create ultrapowerful sensors and motors, building on esoteric discoveries at research labs they’ve financed in Ontario. … Read More
