Quantinuum launched its Generative Quantum AI framework that aims to combine AI, quantum computing and supercomputers to address problems classical computing can't solve.
For an industry that's allegedly 15- to 30-years from being useful there’s a lot of news being generated from quantum computing.
Microsoft launched the Quantum Ready Initiative to help businesses prepare for quantum computing as well as align it with business strategy and returns.
Quantum computing vendors IonQ and D-Wave Quantum touted strong bookings for 2024 and the fourth quarter and said systems are showing near-term usefulness and commercial potential. The disclosures were timed to counter Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's take that useful quantum computing systems were 15- to 30-years away.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said useful quantum computers are more than a decade away, Project Digits fills a big void for data scientists and developers and serves as a personal AI cloud, and human robotics will develop faster than expected.
Classiq Technologies, Deloitte Tohmatsu and Mitsubishi said they have compressed quantum circuits by up to 97% in a move that reduces error rates and may accelerate practical enterprise use cases.
Google launched its latest quantum chip called Willow with strong error correction improvements and outlined its roadmap for quantum computing.
Amazon Web Services launched a services unit to help customers adopt quantum computing. Combined with Amazon Braket, AWS is positioning itself to be a trusted neutral party in quantum computing much as it has done with generative AI.
Quantum computing vendors are all bullish on hybrid supercomputing approaches that'll play well with the generative AI boom.
IBM launched a series of Qiskit software services to go along with its IBM Quantum Heron-based systems. The effort comes as IBM aims to meld quantum computing and classical computing today while aiming for quantum advantage later.
IonQ's bet to focus on making quantum computing applications relevant for enterprises today instead of waiting for quantum supremacy appears to be paying off nicely.
IBM has installed its second-gen IBM Quantum Heron processors in its Poughkeepsie data center as it builds out its quantum infrastructure.
