Good morning. Quantitative computing has long been described as the ability to solve problems in minutes that will take the best giant computers today thousands or even millions of years to break. Although this may seem to serve as a dream for many executives, as the quantum industry has grown over the past decade, the discussion is about its ability. Does technology provide an opportunity to supply companies with real worlds or are the claims of “quantum superiority”, and their wide superiority over traditional computing, just noise?
The quantitative question hit a new heights in January at the Consumer Electronics Exhibition (CES) in Las Vegas, when the CEO of Nvidia Jensen Huang said, most likely quantum computers, “I am very useful”, is probably 15 to 30 years old, said to stumbling inventory in space. Alan Paratz, CEO of the D-WAVE quantum: said: “I felt very disappointed. In it.
In a sign that Huang wanted to modify with this industry, the March GTC conference in NVIDIA was distinguished by the first “Quantity Day”-and participated in D-WAVE’s BARATZ in one of the paintings. But while Huang may have wanted to calm the displaced investors, quantum stocks still decrease after the event-including D-WAVE.
I had the opportunity to sit with BARATZ as a company (founded in 1999 and publicly suspended by the merger of SPAC in 2022), I submitted a claim for its sovereignty. New published paper In the magazine sciences In the middle of March, which showed that it has completed a virtual experience on the quantum computer to see how the atoms and molecules of the material in the real world will act. She said that the traditional computer cannot complete simulation.
I got out of our conversation, and I was surprised by the complex nuances of quantum computing discussion. Here are three fast food for business leaders:
- One of the forms of quantum has already commercially. D-WAVE focuses on a type of quantum computing called “steel” that works well for improvement problems such as identifying vehicle methods and pillars of employees. Among the customers in Japan NTT DOCOCO and the Pattison Food Group group in Canada.
- Quantum and AI will work together for companies. BARATZ says that Quantum and AI often stem different parts of the same problem. For example, artificial intelligence may predict the future demand for products, while the quantity can improve the supply chain to meet this demand. The quantum computer can also train artificial intelligence models more quickly.
We will not see the full promise of the quantity for a while. BARATZ explained that most quantum companies focus on more global quantum technology that “depends on the gate”, where complex orders are operated in a sequence. Although this can solve a wider set of D-WAVE steel problems, it is also very sensitive to errors and is likely to take many years of marketing.
