“finding practical applications for near-term noisy quantum processors still remains as an outstanding challenge. The experiments reported here provide direct insights on how quantum dynamics interacts with noise.”So in summary: Both IBM’s and Google’s achievements are fantastic. They work specially on the noise area and scalability. But neither is even close to do anything useful with a Quantum Computer. These are baby steps (yes, baby steps no matter what the mass media claims say). Very necessary and exciting. But hold your benchmarking horses and don’t worry about your passwords. They are still safe (unless you keep them on a sticky note in your screen).What else has happened this week? BMW and Zapata test integrating Generative AI with Quantum (hint: It is not quantum!). Vodafone and SandboxAQ join forces on making their networks quantum secure, as well as HSBC working on that together with Quantinuum. And Quantagonia has raised €4.3M from Tensor Ventures. Finally, a great paper by Microsoft researchers tries to shed light on the path for advantage and the problems required for it. Really worth a read. Specifically this quote is a blow:
