Biography
Today at its annual conference, Qubits, D-Wave announced Advantage 2 with over 7,000 qubits, new hybrid solvers in its Leap quantum cloud service, and expansion into gate-model quantum computers.
Reddit user u/AsuharietYgvar is confident that they have uncovered Apple's NeuralHash algorithm, which will combat child sexual abuse, deep in iOS' source code. A GitHub repo contains their findings.
The latest iteration of the Common Voice Dataset was released today bringing with it over 13,000 hours' worth of crowd-sourced speech data, over 182,000 unique voices, and a total of 76 languages.
Providing over twice the precision and inference speed compared to the last generation, Nvidia's new TensorRT 8 deep learning SDK clocked in a time of 1.2 ms in BERT-Large's inference.
Rigetti has introduced a novel modular chip design that will help scale up quantum computers. The chip will feature in an 80-qubit quantum computer that will be revealed by the end of this year.
In a paper, researchers test the best language models (GPT-2/3/Neo) at solving programming questions from coding interviews. Results aren't particularly groundbreaking but show potential.
We sat down with D-Wave CEO Alan Baratz to have a chat about quantum computers, what kind of problems they're solving, how they're tackling the COVID-19 pandemic, and what lies ahead.
Microsoft announced today that come June 15, 2022, the desktop application for Internet Explorer 11 will be retired. The firm is confident that the future of Windows 10 lies with Microsoft Edge.
A report from the Wall Street Journal says that some members of Microsoft's board of directors wanted Gates to step down as company director following inappropriate relations with a female employee.
OpenAI's improvements to contemporary diffusion models see them beat the state-of-the-art generative adversarial networks (GANs) in both conditional and unconditional image generation tasks.
Using Horse Ridge, a control chip for quantum computers, researchers demonstrated frequency multiplexing on two qubits using the same wire and reported 99.7% fidelity in randomized benchmarking.
Today at the GPU Technology Conference, Nvidia announced Grace, its first Arm-based CPU for data centers that promises ten times the performance of today's fastest servers and then some.
Qiskit now natively supports IonQ's quantum hardware. Without writing additional ancillary code, you should be able to run your circuits directly onto IonQ's 11 qubit quantum computer.
A study finds that 40% of China's bitcoin mining is powered by coal and will produce 130.5 million metric tons of carbon emissions by 2024. This would hamper the country's control of CO2 emissions.
Cambridge Quantum Computing has demonstrated Variational Inference on quantum computers for the first time. Results are encouraging, indicating a promising new approach in quantum machine learning.
