Quantum control’s role in scaling quantum computing – McKinsey
June 14, 2024by Henning Soller and Niko Mohr with Elisa Becker-Foss, Kamalika Dutta, Martina Gschwendtner, Mena Issler, and Ming Xu Quantum computing can leverage the states of entangled qubits1 to solve problems that classical computing cannot currently solve and to substantially improve existing solutions. These qubits, which are typically constructed from photons, atoms, or ions, can only be manipulated using specially engineered signals with precisely controlled energy that is barely above that of a vacuum and that changes within nanoseconds. This control system for qubits, referred to as quantum control, is a critical enabler of quantum computing because it ensures quantum algorithms perform with optimal efficiency and effectiveness
Quantum Computing and AI: A Perfect Match? – InformationWeek
It's a marriage that could only happen in cyberspace -- quantum computing and artificial intelligence. Quantum AI is a burgeoning computer science sector, dedicated to exploring the potential synergy that exists between quantum computing and AI, says Gushu Li, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Science, in an email interview.

It is a crucial component of earth sciences, particularly in numerical weather prediction (NWP). Data assimilation techniques have been widely investigated in NWP in the last two decades to refine the initial conditions of weather models by combining model forecasts and observational data.
Quantum Computers May Break Bitcoin by 2030, But We Won’t Know About It – Cryptonews
Last updated: June 13, 2024 09:00 EDT | 11 min read Quantum computers might sound like another buzzword in the tech world, yet their threat to cryptocurrency is very real and approaching fast. Scientists may differ on the timeline, but they all agree: Q-day is not a matter of if, but when. Weve spoken to quantum experts around the world to hear the latest estimates on when it will happen, what can be done to protect cryptocurrency, and whether these powerful machines could somehow benefit the crypto world.
Quantum, AI Combine to Transform Energy Generation, AI Summit London – AI Business
The electrical grid is very complicated. Nobody thinks about it ever until it doesn't work. But it is critical infrastructure that runs minute-to-minute energy being consumed now was generated milliseconds ago, somewhere far away, instantaneously shot through power lines and delivered
European telecoms leading the way in quantum tech adoption, report finds – TNW
Say quantum technologies and most people probably still imagine something decades into the future. But, as a new report released today demonstrates, quantum is already here especially as it relates to the telecom industry. After years of incremental progress confined to research institutions, the emerging quantum technology sector has begun to gather commercial momentum.
