Running an experiment in the IBM Quantum Experience
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: computing, information science, quantum physics
IBM Research is making quantum computing available to the public for the first time, providing access to a quantum computing platform from any desktop or mobile device via the cloud. Users of the platform called the IBM Quantum Experience can create algorithms and run experiments on an IBM quantum processor, learn about quantum computing through tutorials and simulations, and get inspired by the possibilities of a quantum computer.

Researchers Build FIRST Reprogrammable Quantum Computer!
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: computing, information science, particle physics, quantum physics
Nice advancement this week in QC.
Researchers may have finally created the first fully reprogrammable quantum computer in the world. This changes the entire spectrum of the technology, as quantum computers so far could only run one type of equation.
This marks the beginning of reprogrammable quantum computers. Several teams and companies like IBM are still in the race towards quantum computing, which so far can only run one type of equation. This seems ironic as they can theoretically run more operations than there are atoms in the universe. But this stops now.

Researchers grow needle- and thread-like diamonds
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: computing, quantum physics
Excellent breakthrough for technology’s future.
Example of diamond crystallites of different shapes, obtained with the help of the technology, worked out in the Lomonosov Moscow State University. There are electron microscopy images of diamond films’ fragments after their oxidation in the air. The material left after the oxidation is represented by needle-like diamond monocrystals of pyramid shape. Credit: Alexander Obraztsov.
Physicists from the Lomonosov Moscow State University have obtained micrometer-sized diamond crystals in the form of a regular pyramid. In cooperation with co-workers from other Russian and foreign research centers, they have also studied the luminescence and electron emission properties of these diamond crystals. The research results have been published in a series of articles in journals including Scientific Reports.

Elon Musk gets closer to worldwide internet dream (and all for the same price)
Posted by Klaus Baldauf in categories: computing, Elon Musk, internet, satellites
Entrepreneur’s Space X agency files request for $10bn project with the FCC and says internet speeds globally will reach 1Gb/s.
The man who wants to take humans to Mars also wants to connect the whole of planet Earth and bring digital equality across the globe.
Elon Musk’s Space X spacial agency has requested to the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) authorisation to launch 4,425 satellites which would be used to provide connectivity to the more than 7.2 billion humans on Earth.
