China Makes Techonological Breakthrough With Quantum Space Satellite
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: government, quantum physics, space
China’s Quantum Satellite — it’s now official China has beaten the US with their launch of a Quantum Satellite for secured communications. At this rate; US can possibly expect China has and will continue to advance its networking infrastructure. US Government has a good strategy in place.
Quantum space satellite, a satellite under the Chinese space program, is making waves in the country as it is the first satellite to deliver quantum communication in China, according to Chinese state media.
This new innovation is a breakthrough technology and it will be an asset for China’s power all over the globe.

Poll On Attitudes Towards Robots Finds Canadians As Pessimistic As It Gets
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: quantum physics, robotics/AI
Given robotics history, I can understand Canada’s viewpoint. However, as technologies such as Quantum is applied to AI; we then will see real improvements in robotics. Until Quantum is AI’s platform; we will see robotics still fall short in many areas and will continue to see limited use and adoption.
Nowhere is the world’s robotic future more controversial than in Canada.
In a new global poll from travel site Travelzoo, Canadians were the least likely to agree that robots will make people’s lives better.

“While our materialistic paradigm would have us believe that our consciousness is housed in our physical brain and does not extend beyond it, there is growing evidence that this is actually not true.”

Quantum revolution: what the future holds
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: futurism, quantum physics
In simple terms.
When Thomas Edison first passed an electric current through a filament in vacuum to produce light, he could not have imagined the global revolution he was to unleash. Physicists at Sydney Uni’s new Nanoscience Hub feel the same about the coming quantum revolution.

Gates thinks quantum computing in the cloud may come in a decade
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: computing, internet, materials, quantum physics
I don’t believe that we’re a decade away given the advancements around Quantum infrastructure work such the Quantum Internet and Platform. Too much progress is showing me within the next 7 to 8 years is a possibility especially with the race that we’re all in.
Bill Gates did an Ask Me Anything on Reddit Tuesday and said that there’s a chance within six to ten years that “cloud computing will offer super-computation by using quantum.”
“It could help users solve some very important science problems, including materials and catalyst design,” Gates wrote.

MIT’s new 5-atom quantum computer could make today’s encryption obsolete
Posted by Shailesh Prasad in categories: computing, encryption, quantum physics, security
Much of the encryption world today depends on the challenge of factoring large numbers, but scientists now say they’ve created the first five-atom quantum computer with the potential to crack the security of traditional encryption schemes.
In traditional computing, numbers are represented by either 0s or 1s, but quantum computing relies on atomic-scale units, or “qubits,” that can be simultaneously 0 and 1 — a state known as a superposition that’s far more efficient. It typically takes about 12 qubits to factor the number 15, but researchers at MIT and the University of Innsbruck in Austria have found a way to pare that down to five qubits, each represented by a single atom, they said this week.
Using laser pulses to keep the quantum system stable by holding the atoms in an ion trap, the new system promises scalability as well, as more atoms and lasers can be added to build a bigger and faster quantum computer able to factor much larger numbers. That, in turn, presents new risks for factorization-based methods such as RSA, used for protecting credit cards, state secrets and other confidential data.
