Inside Quantum Technology - Get The Latest Quantum News & Events Here

The Quantum Dragon has it easy. He stores his wealth in a cave, and no one dares go near it. He then demands tribute from nearby villages, and his preserved wealth grows. Because of this, he’s fascinated by human “investing.” He recently spent some time at Cantor, learning how its experts help its clients meet their financial goals.

Join our superhero, ALGOman

This animation is not focused on quantum computing, but it mentions quantum computing, so I’m allowing it. I believe ALGOman is the first superhero to wear eyeglasses while in flight, as opposed to wearing them as part of an alter ego’s disguise. This link might require a Twitter account.

4 of the top 10 supercomputers have this in common.

I already knew that IQM has sold and integrated these systems. However, I did NOT know that the integrations rank among the top 10 supercomputers. 4 integrations are impressive as it is, considering the quantum computing landscape, but this makes the achievement even more impressive. This link might require a LinkedIn account.

Why haven’t quantum computers factored 21 yet?

I have encountered articles/tutorials that develop an intuition for massive quantum circuit growth with Shor’s algorithm, but they understate the problem by showing controlled-U gates. Craig Gidney has decomposed those gates, efficiently visualizing the problem. And keep in mind that the deep circuit is only for factoring 21.

Scaling Quantum Compilation

What the heck is a subgraph isomorphism problem? The key takeaway here is that Q-CTRL, NVIDIA, and Oxford Quantum Circuits (OQC) are improving compilation. We need to talk much more about the many classical bottlenecks that precede actual execution on a quantum computer, and this addresses one of them.

ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS ANNOUNCED FOR QUANTUM + AI 2025

The following international speakers have been announced to speak at Q+AI along with Quantum + Crypto taking place in New York City this 19-21 October. Alan Avidan (Raam.AI); Reza Azarderakhsh (PQ Secure); John Biggs (Hemi Labs); Alex Challans (Resonance); Sarah Choudhary (Ice Innovations); and Niamh Kingsley (AI SME). 75+ speakers are participating in the conference. Several networking opportunities are included highlighted by a New York harbor dinner cruise on 19 October. For complete program and registration information check www.iqtevent.com.

EARLY BIRD RATES ARE AVAILABLE UNTIL 25 SEPTEMBER FOR QUANTUM + AI IN NEW YORK CITY

Significant registration savings end on 25 September for Quantum + AI 2025. Included in the Q+AI registration is a track on 20 October devoted Quantum + Crypto (Cryptocurrency in the Age of Quantum Computers). Sponsorship opportunities are available – inquiries should be addressed to info@3drholdings.com. Registration details are available at www.iqtevent.com.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory chose IQM…

…and I know why….

Alice & Bob Family “Uniforms”

My family’s new “uniforms” just arrived, which we will wear for our next outing. We always bring a tote bag, so we have one of those, too. The candies and stickers disappeared quickly, but I managed to keep one each for myself. I messaged the team that whoever designs this stuff deserves a pay increase.

Zapata AI Job Seekers… only 1 left on this list!

If you were laid off by Zapata AI and would like a free listing in this newsletter, please reach out and let me know. I’ll maintain a list in The Quantum Dragon until everyone on the list has been gainfully employed elsewhere or is otherwise no longer actively job seeking. I might extend this offer to all job seekers, but I’ll start with these layoffs.
