Quantum Computing Is Coming Faster Than You Think – Forbes

It seems for every proponent for quantum computing there is also a detractor. The detractors often refer to quantum computing as a science project, hype, a hoax, even a failed cause. If you look back through the history of the technology industry, it is littered with technologies that failed for various technical or business reasons. So, there is reason to be skeptical. However, there are just as many technologies that went on to chart the future direction of innovation because of major advancements that enabled the technology. Some have even had a similar level, if not more, of skepticism and of being a science project - technologies like artificial intelligence (AI). AI is a concept that had been theorized about long before the development of the first silicon transistor, but it wasnt until the past decade that it became a reality through advancements in silicon technology, processing architectures, and deep learning techniques. Similarly, quantum computing technology is real now and is on the verge of that breakout over the next decade.
Even describing the concept of quantum computing is not easy. Classical computers use bits to represent a one (on state) or zero (off state), while quantum computers use qubits that can represent multiple states through superposition and links with other qubits through entanglement. The result is a computer that scales exponentially in terms of compute capacity. While this makes quantum computers ideally suited for large mathematical models, they are not suited for handling the simple overhead tasks associated with computing. As a result, quantum computing is better positioned as a new accelerator technology, similar to a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), Digital Signal Processor (DSP), or Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), but on a much larger scale in terms of computing performance. However, quantum computers require specialized control logic and memory because of the unique compute architecture on which quantum computing is based. Large refrigeration units are also required because they operate at near absolute zero, meaning zero degrees Kelvin or -273.15 degrees Celsius.
Quantum computing also faces two major challenges accuracy and scaling. Errors are introduced through both the stability (or lack thereof) of qubits and potential interference from other qubits. Maintaining stability or lifespan of a qubit in a superposition state is challenging and may be limited to a few milliseconds or microseconds. Additionally, qubits can interfere with neighboring qubits. As a result, error suppression, correction, and mitigation techniques are being developed to work both individually and together to increase computation accuracy. Error suppression does front-end processing based on the knowledge of the system and circuits to offset potential errors, such as making alterations to the pulses that control the qubits. Error mitigation corrects errors in postprocessing based on a noise model. Error correction, on the other hand, requires many additional qubits, to correct errors during execution. While error correction may be the most effective way to eliminate errors, it comes at a significant cost. However, with error suppression and mitigation, quantum computing still allows for processing at a level that cannot be easily accomplished even on the largest classical supercomputers.
Scaling quantum computers is also a significant challenge. While there are several different quantum solutions, many do not use standard CMOS manufacturing processes, which means they do not scale with the advanced semiconductor processes used for other high-end processors or accelerators. Additionally, the entire system needs to scale with the number of qubits, which means more wires connecting each individual qubit to the control logic, plus the associated cooling elements. If you look at current quantum computers when they are not in a refrigerator, they look more like a jumble of tubes and wires than a silicon-based system. Scaling these systems is not an easy task.
If quantum computing is so fraught with challenges, the natural question is why do I think that we are on the cusp of major advances in quantum computing? One of the reasons is the level of investment in quantum computing. The benefits of having a single computer that can outperform many supercomputers is so valuable that the scientific community, technology industry, governments, and enterprises are investing billions into the development and use of quantum computing. This includes industry leaders like Alibaba, Amazon, IBM, Intel, Google, Honeywell, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Toshiba among many other companies. Likewise, the US Government has a National Quantum Initiative to accelerate quantum research and development for the economic and national security of the United States. A key example of this investment is evident walking through the IBM quantum data center in Poughkeepsie, New York, which I had the opportunity to tour earlier this year.
Another reason is the continued advancements being made in quantum computing is improvements in quantum chips, control logic, systems, and software. These advancements are especially true of the development tools for error mitigation, suppression, and correction. As an example, IBM holds the lead in quantum scaling with the 433-qubit Osprey processor introduced in 2022 and is slated to introduce the 1,121-qubit Condor processor later this year. If you consider IBMs quantum processor roadmap, the number of qubits will increase by approximately 2-3x every year. IBM is also networking quantum computers together to further increase the qubit capacity. IBM has stated that it has a goal of 100,000 qubit systems by 2033. Industry and academia are already working on practical applications with current quantum computers. This development will accelerate as qubit capacity increases in the latter half of this decade.
The final reason, and the one I believe will be critical to the next step in quantum computing, is artificial intelligence (AI). Thus far, the focus has been integrating classical computers with quantum computers. However, AI holds the potential to both improve the capabilities and performance of quantum computers and being improved by quantum computers but the work in this area is just beginning.
When and how will quantum computing become available for practical applications? With thousands of universities, research organizations, and enterprises already learning and experimenting with quantum computing, the answer is now, for some limited applications. As published in the scientific journal Nature, IBM partnered with US Berkley to demonstrate the ability of quantum computers with just 127 qubits to outperform classical computers in material modeling. However, IBM believes that the 100k qubit capacity level will drive an inflection point for the industry. With quantum systems networked together, this threshold is rapidly approaching.
How the quantum computing industry will take shape is a little easier to predict. Because of the high investment in the supporting systems and infrastructure to support the systems, quantum computing is likely to be a cloud service provided by the leading hyperscalers and/or technology providers for the vast majority of the market at least in the foreseeable future. There will be some university and enterprise installations, but these are likely to be few and far between.
Given the amount of quantum computing investment, advancements, and activity, the industry is set for a dynamic change, similar to that caused by AI increased performance, functionality, and intelligence. This also comes with the same challenges presented by AI, such as security, as outlined in the recent Quantum Safe Cryptography article. But just like AI, quantum computing is coming. You might say that quantum computing is where AI was in 2015, fascinating but not widely utilized. Fast forward just five years and AI was being integrated into almost every platform and application. In just five years, quantum computing could take computing and humanity to a new level of knowledge and understanding.

IBM brings ‘utility-scale’ quantum computing to Japan as China and Europe struggle to compete – Cointelegraph
IBM announced the completed installation of a 127-qubit quantum computing system at the University of Tokyo on Nov. 27. According to the company, this marks the arrival of the first utility-scale quantum system in the region.
The system, dubbed a Quantum System One by IBM and featuring the companys Eagle processor, was installed as part of an ongoing research partnership between Japan and IBM. According to a blog post from IBM, it will be used to conduct research in various fields, including bioinformatics, materials science and finance.
Per Hiroaki Aihara, executive vice president of the University of Tokyo:
While Japan and the University of Tokyo reap the benefits of working with a U.S. quantum computing partner, Chinas second-largest technology firm, Alibaba, has decided to shutter its own quantum computing laboratory and will reportedly donate its equipment to Zhejiang University.
Local media reports indicate the Alibaba move is a cost-cutting measure and that dozens of employees associated with the quantum research lab have been laid off. This follows the cancellation of a planned cloud computing spinoff earlier this month, with Alibaba stating that thepartial United States export ban on computer chips to China has contributed to uncertainty.

The quantum computing sector is expected to grow by more than $5.5 billion between 2023 and 2030, according to estimates from Fortune Business Insights. This has led some experts to worry over the state of quantum computing research in areas outside of the U.S. and China.
Koen Bertels, founder of quantum computing accelerator QBee and a professor at the University of Ghent in Belgium, recently opined that Europe had already lost the artificial intelligence race and couldnt afford to lose at quantum computing.
In addition to being behind in funding, talent, and strategy, wrote Bertels, Europe isnt only competing against the US.

Quantum collaboration between South Korea and the UK gains … – DIGITIMES
With the recent signing of the new Downing Street Accord by South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, both countries are poised for a new era of technological cooperation. In particular, the UK's possession of crucial quantum computing technologies has the potential to create a synergistic relationship with South Korea, a global semiconductor powerhouse.
According to a Dong-A Ilbo report, the quantum industry welcomes the collaboration, citing the expanding US sanctions against China. These sanctions, which limit investments in China's quantum, semiconductor, and artificial intelligence (AI) sectors, raise concerns about the impact on the development of South Korea's quantum industry.
Qsimplus CEO Roh Gwang-seok emphasizes the sensitivity of importing quantum core equipment from the US due to South Korea's geographical proximity to China. Consequently, many companies are redirecting their focus to countries like the UK, which possess essential core technologies.
The essential "cryogenic cooling" technology needed for quantum computer production is one of the most representative advantages of the UK in the realm of quantum computers, with Oxford Instruments among the top three global providers of the technology. Given the extreme sensitivity of quantum states to thermal influences, requiring an environment at absolute zero, this technology is critical for advancing quantum computing.
Furthermore, the UK's strategic investment in photonics technology since the 1980s presents another avenue for collaboration. Photonic quantum computers, which can be produced through existing semiconductor processes, provide opportunities for partnerships with global semiconductor giants such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. This is expected to become a pivotal area of cooperation between the UK and South Korea.
South Korean industry leaders recognize quantum as a key future technology, succeeding AI. Major companies are actively investing in research and development for various applications. Hyundai Motor's 2022 partnership with US-based IonQ exemplifies this trend, utilizing quantum computers to explore catalyst materials for hydrogen fuel cells, aiming to replace costly platinum catalysts in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
Additionally, POSCO Holdings, a prominent South Korean steelmaker, collaborates with French startup Pasqal and South Korean startup Qunova Computing. Their focus is on optimizing hydrogen production processes for environmentally friendly ironmaking and developing innovative technologies, including materials for secondary batteries.

Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words. Statements that are not historical in nature, including the words "expect," "plan," "believe," "intend," "estimates," "targets," "projects," "could," "will," "forecast" and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements include those related to the companys technology driving commercial advantage in the future, the ability for third parties to implement IonQs offerings to increase their quantum computing capabilities, the effect of increased availability of customer support functions, IonQs quantum computing capabilities and plans, access to IonQs quantum computers, increases in algorithmic qubit achievement, and the scalability and reliability of IonQs quantum computing offerings. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this press release, including but not limited to: changes in the competitive industries in which IonQ operates, including development of competing technologies; changes in laws and regulations affecting IonQs business; IonQs ability to implement its business plans, forecasts and other expectations, identify and realize partnerships and opportunities, and to engage new and existing customers. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties disclosed in the Companys filings, including but not limited to those described in the "Risk Factors" section of IonQs most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other documents filed by IonQ from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and IonQ assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. IonQ does not give any assurance that it will achieve its expectations.
