Quantum Computing

Crews conducting an excavation at an ancient cemetery, an archaeological site outside of Frankfurt, in what was once the Roman city of Nida, discovered an ancient silver amulet with a Christian inscription in a grave. This implies a Christian extension into northern Europe two centuries earlier than supposed. And wide travel and commerce.

Quantum Computing

An announcement from Hartmut Neven Founder and Lead, Google Quantum AI


"Today I’m delighted to announce Willow, our latest quantum chip. 

Willow has state-of-the-art performance across a number of metrics, enabling two major achievements.

The first is that Willow can reduce errors exponentially as we scale up using more qubits. This cracks a key challenge in quantum error correction that the field has pursued for almost 30 years.

Second, Willow performed a standard benchmark computation in under five minutes that would take one of today’s fastest supercomputers 10 septillion (that is, 1025) years-- 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years. — a number that vastly exceeds the age of the Universe.
It lends credence to the notion that quantum computation occurs in many parallel universes, in line with the idea that we live in a multiverse, a prediction first made by David Deutsch. (Yikes!)

So quantum computation will be indispensable for collecting training data that are inaccessible to classical machines, training and optimizing certain learning architectures, and modeling systems where quantum effects are important. This includes helping us discover new medicines, designing more efficient batteries for electric cars, and accelerating progress in fusion and new energy alternatives. Many of these future game-changing applications won’t be feasible on classical computers; they’re waiting to be unlocked with quantum computing."

This is the beginning of a new age, a technology that is parallel to--and enhances--Artificial Intelligence. And will prove to be an economic driver for cultures and economies with the foresight and infrastructure to support and develop it.
