Physicists love recreating the world in software. A simulation lets you explore many versions of reality to find patterns or to test possibilities. But if you want one that’s realistic down to individual atoms and electrons, you run out of computing juice pretty quickly. Machine-learning models can approximate detailed simulations,…

Alexander Sludds This computer rendering depicts the pattern on a photonic chip that the author and his colleagues have devised for performing neural-network calculations using light. Think of the many tasks to which computers are being applied that in the not-so-distant past required human intuition. Computers routinely identify objects in…

This Quantum Computer is Sized For Server Rooms

29 Ιουνίου 2021 by paulkokos

Usually quantum computers are devices that can fill entire laboratories. Now a compact prototype quantum computer can fit in two 19-inch server racks like those found in data centers throughout the world, which could help improve battery designs or crack codes, a new study finds. A quantum computer with enough…
