The heated debate over last week’s article on the FT about the quantum computing hype and potential bubble continues with additional rebuttals. Finland and Singapore join forces, both countries have mature and advanced quantum programs as well as promising startups. Australia makes strides with their Quantum Alliance and a good opinioin letter talks about what Europe needs to do to get on par. IQM, from Finland as well partners with QphoX. Azure also talks about the same issue: Scalability. How do we connect and control thousands of qubits. As Isaac Chuang said “(Quantum Computing) is not longer a physicist’s dream, it is an engineer’s nightmare” (Chuang is the co-author with Nielsen of the book all of you should have in your bookshelves: Quantum Computation and Quantum Information).Meanwhile, at Max Plank institute they’ve managed to entangle photons on demand, which could prove extremely useful for photonic computers. Lastly: Did you know that we already have the equivalent of Moore’s Law for Quantum?
