Cambridge Quantum Computing Announces Integration of tket platform into Strangeworks Ecosystem

Cambridge Quantum Computing Announces Integration of tket platform into Strangeworks
CAMBRIDGE, England, May 4, 2021 — Cambridge Quantum Computing (CQC), a global leader in quantum software and quantum algorithms, today announced that Strangeworks, Inc., an Austin, Texas-based company dedicated to making quantum computing more accessible, will integrate CQC’s flagship quantum software platform – tket – into the Strangeworks Quantum Computing ecosystem. tket (pron. “ticket”) will become a key component of the Strangeworks QC (Quantum Computing) and EQ (Enterprise Quantum) ecosystems. With infrastructure-level integration, Strangeworks users will benefit from tket’s enterprise-level support for multiple devices and languages as well as the SDK’s ability to enable rapid prototyping and benchmarking to extract maximum value from devices in the Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) era. Used by top companies and...

Cambridge Quantum Computing Pioneers Quantum Machine Learning Methods for Reasoning

Quantum ML
Scientists at Cambridge Quantum Computing (CQC) have developed methods and demonstrated that quantum machines can learn to infer hidden information from very general probabilistic reasoning models. These methods could improve a broad range of applications, where reasoning in complex systems and quantifying uncertainty are crucial. Examples include medical diagnosis, fault-detection in mission-critical machines, or financial forecasting for investment management. In this paper published on the pre-print repository arXiv, CQC researchers established that quantum computers can learn to deal with the uncertainty that is typical of real-world scenarios, and which humans can often handle in an intuitive way. The research team has been led by Dr. Marcello Benedetti with co-authors Brian Coyle, Dr. Michael Lubasch, and Dr. Matthias Rosenkranz, and is...

Alzheimer’s disease has proven to be stubbornly difficult to unravel, but Roche aims to tap into a new tool that promises to accelerate the process: the quantum computer.  Through a multi-year partnership with the U.K.’s Cambridge Quantum Computing, the Swiss drugmaker’s task force plans to explore the nascent technology’s potential for designing and delivering new therapeutic compounds.  The partnership follows a similar endeavor launched earlier this year between Google and Boehringer Ingelheim, which plans to staff its own quantum laboratory as part of the Big Pharma’s digital transformation. Google has also been developing its own quantum hardware, in the Sycamore processor, which it says has outperformed so-called “classical” supercomputers. While typical machines use the binary system of 1s and 0s to solve...

Global Quantum Computing Technologies Market to Eyewitness Growth at +24% CAGR during 2021-2028 with QX Branch, International Business Machines Corporation, Cambridge Quantum Computing Limited

Quantum Computing Technologies 780x470
Quantum computing is the use of quantum-mechanical phenomena such as superposition and entanglement to perform computation. Quantum computers are believed to be able to solve certain computational problems, such as integer factorization (which underlies RSA encryption), substantially faster than classical computers. Quantum computing is an area of computing focused on developing computer technology based on the principles of quantum theory, which explains the behavior of energy and material on the atomic and subatomic levels. Classical computers that we use today can only encode information in bits that take the value of 1 or 0. Quantum computers could spur the development of new breakthroughs in science, medications to save lives, machine learning methods to diagnose illnesses sooner, materials to make more efficient devices and structures,...
