Technical Challenges in Quantum Computing

A list of main challenges on Quantum computing for understanding better the landscape. Core Technical Challenges in Qubit Hardware Platforms Challenge Brief Description Qubit Coherence Time Quantum states lose coherence rapidly due to interactions with the environment (decoherence). Extending coherence times is critical for reliable computation. Gate Fidelity Physical quantum gates often produce errors due … Read more

OpenAI, Nvidia and AMD

Nvidia and AMD have recently announced some agreements with OpenAI. The type of agreements are quite different. Major Term NVIDIA-OpenAI Deal AMD-OpenAI Deal Commitment Strategic partnership, investment, and infrastructure build-out. Multi-year, multi-generational supply agreement. Compute Capacity At least 10 gigawatts (GW) of NVIDIA systems. Up to 6 gigawatts (GW) of AMD Instinct GPUs. Financial/Investment NVIDIA … Read more

 Circle Internet Group

This company became public in June, and I was curious about what they do and how they make profits. They do not attend final users, they reach them through exchange markets, payment processors or specific FinTech companies. I did a map to visualize what they do. Who are these clients? Category Examples of Clients / … Read more

Quantum Annealing

Quantum annealing is a quantum computing technique used to solve optimization problems by finding the lowest-energy state of a system. It works by encoding a problem into a mathematical energy landscape, where the best solution corresponds to the global minimum. The quantum computer then starts in a simple, easily prepared ground state and gradually evolves … Read more
