...I'm getting tired of typing, but there's much more.

It's a QPU

Everything, but only as fast as the bus allows. Even if they used eight CPUs per board, how woul they keep it cool? Serviceable? They are limited with 4 CPUs. From there we strap all the quad ZEONS together using fiber network cards and switches making them share processing speeds. Talking months,

It reminds me of building motors. I ask dudes, "you want a bad ass sounding motor that will last forever or do you want to win races? Two different animals. No one builds the perfect setup yet

Still waiting for an example of any problems these machines have solved.

This is a big step towards a sort of universal gate model. A lot of people didn't think that this recent discovery was even possible.
 Quoting: AkashicRecord®

What does it mean in practice?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77815947


That it is essentially an ALL quantum system, bridging an array of single qubit logic gates together into one singularly coherent system with purely quantum-to-quantum control and communication.

I just finished reading the paper and it's fascinating stuff really, they demonstrated pretty accurate nano-architecture engineering on a single atom scale. This is some scifi level stuff going on rn...
 Quoting: Zerubayah


Next they must mimick nature and figure out warm quantum computing, so that we can have one under our desk.

The future of quantum computing will be amazing as wel as creepy. Artificial Intelligence will benefit greatly. The better they get, the more “Godlike” their abillities. Because just like God, such a system will be able to be anywhere and everywhere, and do anything and everything, at the same time. It will be able to learn millions of times faster then a human being. It’s intelligence will surpass that of all the greatest academics and scientists that ever lived. It’s logic will eventually be too advanced for us to comprehend .

Then there’s the creepy side. Quantum computers work on a multidimensional principle, and they will even retrieve information from paralel universe's, I Shit You Not! It will open litteral gateways into these alternate realities. A litteral doorway through which interaction is possible, let that sink in for a while.

Re: Scientists Have Built The First Silicon Two-Qubit Gate Between Atom Qubits (the speediest quantum operation yet)
This is sweet but it still leaves us with the bus speed being the bottle neck.

They need upgrade MBDs to fiber slots. Then we may have something. Data coming in / out of slots at speed of light only to be choked at the bus. Tons of processing power, with RAM assist, still getting choked at the bus. Fast HDs, fiber SCSI, 15K with 8/16G RAM on the HD, choked at the bus.

If they went to start messing w fiber cards and slots there would be a temporary price hike but its what needs to happen. I used to work on render farms and digital audio rigs. I typically cascade four quad XEON servers w four 3.4cpus eq., 36/64GIG ram, cascaded. Any of the clusters are still too slow for me. Issue? Bus speeds.

When I render? Forget about it. Ive done renders where I leave on a Friday night and come back on Monday morning and its 40% done. I dont get why they dont have fiber slots. Maybe its the converters that will send MBDs over the top, or maybe I need to look again at technology.

AVATAR took like 6 months to render! WE NEED FIBER SPEED BUSSES!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 35676288


Oh, I absolutely agree. It's a tough cookie to crack now that we've essentially hit the (near) limits of computer architecture and engineering. What worked for raw speed and capacity doesn't necessarily hold true for throughput.

I think once the initial rollout of quantum computing technologies gets picked up by the mainstream, we'll start to see a cascading avalanche of breakthroughs which are only made possible via quantum computing tech...you use quantum computers to build better ones...in a way.

Hell, we are still missing one component of fundamental electronics entirely...the memristor. I'd expect this to be realized in the next 10 years with continuing advancements in materials technology and nanotech. There will still be major changes needed in architecture and design to fully support a true quantum computing platform, so we will see these current "hybrid" cloud compute types of setups for a while, just as D-Wave, IBM, and Rigetti are all doing... A lot of companies will make big bucks by selling managed access time on their systems...

That's a tough one there...high-temp superconductors. Coherence times with "high" temperatures is very finicky, not to mention the noise environment at those temps...even with massive amounts of various shielding... I'm kind of expecting the ultra-cold stuff to be the norm for some time. Not to be a spoilsport, but "consumer quantum" might not actually ever be a thing...

Re: Scientists Have Built The First Silicon Two-Qubit Gate Between Atom Qubits (the speediest quantum operation yet)
You know, I used to love and respect science, scientists, technology, etc. But for these last several years it increasingly appears that we are being lied to and manipulated with exaggerated claims and outright deceptions by politically motivated "scientists" with huge, fragile egos. "Quantum Computing" and "AI" are the two biggest examples. Michio Kaku and others have described AI as "god", "godlike", etc. Same for quantum computers. It's all seeming like a comic book fantasy for fourteen year old boys who want their computer to come alive and suck their dick.

I think it was like a figure of speech. He was saying that standing next to one of the machines is like what you might expect an alien monolith (that is worshipped by aliens) to sound like.

I can sort of relate to that because the quantum computers sound a lot like a large MRI machine...because they both use liquid helium cooling. (I worked with MRI machines for over 10 years.)

Re: Scientists Have Built The First Silicon Two-Qubit Gate Between Atom Qubits (the speediest quantum operation yet)
One of the major engineering and design hurdles for QPUs, going forward, has to do not with how or what the qubits are made of, but how many...and the reason is because of an increased need for error detection (and correction) circuits.

Qubits (of any "flavor"...there's probably a quark joke hiding in there...) have a notorious propensity for error, noise permitting, but they also exhibit a type of error buildup that propagates through the quantum gates (or circuits.) This still happens even at the lowest cryogenic temperatures.

Any true quantum computer is going to need a lot of gates, and also a large factor of "depth"...that is...the 'interconectedness' of the qubits. This further complicates the design (and number of qubits) because it almost seems that there are more qubits designed to eliminate error rather than actually doing useful "work." This need for a large error correction circuit within a true QPU isn't an insurmountable task, however...


(Something just "hit" in the quantum world about an hour ago that I haven't finished writing about yet. It might have some relevance to what I posted above.)
