ChatGPT and Quantum! Microsoft disclosed their ambitious roadmap for building a topological qubit-based quantum supercomputer within the next decade, and announced the Azure Quantum Elements Copilot (Yes, now you can use GPT to build Grover circutis!). This tool leverages High Performance Computing (HPC) and AI to boost the speed of certain chemistry simulations, potentially hastening the pace of discoveries in computational chemistry and material science. Concurrently, Chinese scientists simulated a black hole using qubits, which opens up exciting new prospects in understanding quantum effects in these celestial phenomena.Significant advancements in hardware and technology were also observed. QuantumBasel, in collaboration with IonQ, is set to house Switzerland's first commercially viable quantum computer by 2024. IonQ is also expanding the commercial availability of its next-generation Forte quantum computer. Further, Quantinuum talks about their System Model H2, which claims to offer unparalleled performance (claims to be the best in market today). Pasqal opens a lab in Canada. On the other hand, researchers introduced a novel method of translating electrical quantum states into sound and vice versa, potentially enabling efficient storage of quantum information. SandboxAQ goes towards chemical simulation.
