Jul 22, 2022Is useful quantum computing possible in the NISQ era?Overview We are now in the era of Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum devices (NISQ). As explained in an earlier blog the quantum devices available today have few qubits and high error rates. Quantum error correction may not be feasible on NISQ devices because of the extra overhead of detecting and correcting…Quantum Computing8 min readQuantum Computing8 min read
Jun 6, 2022Which technology will win the quantum race?by Daniel Goldsmith Overview In my first blog I explained how a qubit is the quantum equivalent of a classical bit. In this blog I will explore the bewildering range of qubits available today. As we shall see, qubits can be implemented using atoms, the solid state, a liquid or even…Quantum10 min readQuantum10 min read
May 5, 2022Seven steps to ensure your organisation is ready for quantum computingMost experts agree that quantum computing has the potential to outperform classical computers in a few years for some use cases. Also, there is a risk that in the future quantum computers will be used to crack encryption that is currently safe. This risk needs to be mitigated. …Quantum Computing6 min readQuantum Computing6 min read
