2021 Quantum Predictions and 2020 Predictions Analysis!
It’s always amazing in January to sit back and check our previous year predictions with easy criticism and to predict new year facts with a fair dose of optimism. And a bit of humor too.
Bedtime Reading: A review of Quantum Cellular Automata (QCA)
Discretizing spacetime is often a natural step towards modelling physical systems. For quantum systems, if we also demand a strict bound on the speed of information propagation, we get Quantum Cellular Automata (QCAs). These originally
Is Quantum Computing pharma’s next big disruptor?
Allie Nawrat talks to the Pistoia Alliance, QED-C and QuPharm about the opportunities Quantum Computing may provide to the pharma industry. In a future-casting 2030 vision report, life sciences membership organisation Pistoia Alliance examined technological opportunities
Hands-on lab skills key for Quantum jobs
Quantum physics courses need updating, according to researchers who interviewed representatives from 21 US companies that specialize in designing and building technologies for quantum applications. The interviews suggest that those graduating with bachelor’s degrees in
IBM: Exploring Quantum Computing use cases for life sciences
IBM has published a report concerning quantum computing use cases for life sciences. Some quotes from this report: The search space of potential protein configurations increases exponentially with the size of the protein. Quantum computing has
OIDA Report: Photonics and Quantum Technologies
Quantum technologies are expected to have major impacts in markets ranging from telecom and medicine to finance but advances in product engineering are necessary to bring the technologies to market, according to the newly released OIDA
Quantum Computing and Finance: Evolution or Revolution?
Modern Finance has always been closely linked to the evolution of IT, Telecommunications and Financial Mathematics. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are currently profoundly changing the banking and insurance business, in parallel with their accelerated
