Closing In on Quantum Computing
“For more than two decades,” writes Valerie C. Coffey (@StellarEdit), “one of the holy grails of physics has been to build a quantum computer that can process certain types of large-scale, very
In this blog, we discuss cognitive computing and other technologies with a focus on supply chain management and innovation. Other topics of discussion include digital enterprise transformation, marketing, the Internet of Things, and smart cities. Our goal is to advance the public discussion about how cognitive computing and other advanced technologies affect the world in which we live.

“For more than two decades,” writes Valerie C. Coffey (@StellarEdit), “one of the holy grails of physics has been to build a quantum computer that can process certain types of large-scale, very
“Quantum technologies,” writes Pete Shadbolt, “exploit the paradoxical and unfamiliar behaviour of tiny lumps of light and matter, including single atoms, electrons and photons. Using these ‘quanta’ as building blocks, we can
“Scientists have observed something fascinating about the universe: A tiny particle can spontaneously appear from nothing and then disappear as if it had never existed,” writes Thomas Lee (@ByTomLee). “The same could
At the end of a post entitled “Quantum Computing: The Quest Continues,” I indicated that I would write another article discussing some of the advances being made in the search for a
As I pointed out in a previous post [“Quantum Future: Just Beyond Our Grasp“], some scientists believe that the effort to create a fully functioning quantum computer is a quixotic task; however,
If you haven’t ever watched “The Graduate,” the movie that launched Dustin Hoffman’s storied film career, you should. In one of the most famous scenes in the movie, Hoffman’s character, a recent
Back in 2006, Peter Schwartz, Chris Taylor, and Rita Koselka offered a vision of the future that relies on the development of quantum computers. [“Quantum leap,” Fortune, 2 August 2006] In that
“Quantum computing may well represent the biggest breakthrough in computer technology since the invention of the microprocessor,” writes Lev Grossman. “Taking advantage of bizarre effects like quantum superposition and quantum entanglement, quantum
In Part 1 of this series, I discussed, inter alia, how researchers are working to create more stable qubits. Philip Ball explains why stable qubits are important. “Quantum phenomena such as superpositions
It seems as though breakthroughs leading towards a traditional quantum computer occur almost daily. I say “traditional” quantum computer because the Canadian company D-Wave has already produced a computer that Lockheed Martin,
