Love the seemingly metallic singular surface on the head gear. They’re popping up everywhere lately in cyberpunk scenes and stuff, and I can’t get enough!
Tech Talk: John Martinis, “Design of a Superconducting Quantum Computer”
John Martinis visited Google LA to give a tech talk: “Design of a Superconducting Quantum Computer.” This talk took place on October 15, 2013.
Bio: John M. Martinis attended the University of California at Berkeley from 1976 to 1987, where he received two degrees in Physics: B.S. (1980) and Ph.D. (1987). His thesis research focused on macroscopic quantum tunneling in Josephson Junctions. After completing a post-doctoral position at the Commisiariat Energie Atomic in Saclay, France, he joined the Electromagnetic Technology division at NIST in Boulder. At NIST he was involved in understanding the basic physics of the Coulomb Blockade, and worked to use this phenomenon to make a new fundamental electrical standard based on counting electrons. While at NIST he also invented microcalorimeters based on superconducting sensors for x-ray microanalysis and astrophysics. In June of 2004 he moved to the University of California, Santa Barbara where he currently holds the Worster Chair. At UCSB, he has continued work on quantum computation. Along with Andrew Cleland, he was awarded in 2010 the AAAS science breakthrough of the year for work showing quantum behavior of a mechanical oscillator.
Abstract: Superconducting quantum computing is now at an important crossroad, where “proof of concept” experiments involving small numbers of qubits can be transitioned to more challenging and systematic approaches that could actually lead to building a quantum computer. Our optimism is based on two recent developments: a new hardware architecture for error detection based on “surface codes” [1], and recent improvements in the coherence of superconducting qubits [2]. I will explain how the surface code is a major advance for quantum computing, as it allows one to use qubits with realistic fidelities, and has a connection architecture that is compatible with integrated circuit technology. Additionally, the surface code allows quantum error detection to be understood using simple principles. I will also discuss how the hardware characteristics of superconducting qubits map into this architecture, and review recent results that suggest gate errors can be reduced to below that needed for the error detection threshold.

I make sanctuaries for myself from the places in my head - mountain ranges, narrow alleyways, canopy shadows. If stories were air then I’d breathe my best with a pen in hand and a blank canvas in front.
My highest passion is to draw, but I’m also fond of design, writing, coding and problem solving. I always try to put the best of myself in what I create so that I may love the work I produce.

“Facial-recognition technology is quickly becoming a mainstay of commercial and government surveillance systems. While it can provide benefits in automation and security, it is also a threat to privacy. Sophisticated algorithms can already extract information about your gender, age and even mood from a single image, and then link those physical attributes to commercial or government databases.”

Novel solar cells are “100 times thinner than a human hair” - Could be applied to numerous surfaces
Solar power is totally peaking right now, smashing through cost barriers that previously held the technology back, to the extent that in some parts of the world, surplus energy from sunlight is being given away for free.
But if we’re ever going to unlock the true potential of solar, we need to thinkbeyond today’s large rooftop solar panels, and examine what smaller, lightweight, and even wearable solar cells could do for us.
That’s the thinking behind new flexible, ultra-thin photovoltaic cells developed by researchers in South Korea.

Last scene in half life 2
Quantum computing company D-Wave Systems has unveiled the world’s most powerful quantum computer processor, double the size of previous generations used in the ultra-powerful machines.
At 1,000 qubits, the new processor is capable of considering 21000 possibilities simultaneously. To give an idea of the size of such processing capabilities, this new search space considers more possibilities simultaneously than there are particles in the observable universe.
“For the high-performance computing [HPC] industry, the promise of quantum computing is very exciting,” said Earl Joseph, programme vice president for HPC at D-Wave.
“It offers the potential to solve important problems that either can’t be solved today or would take an unreasonable amount of time to solve.”
The development puts D-Wave at the forefront of the nascent quantum computing industry, which has been widely touted as holding revolutionary potential in a variety of fields due to the immense processing power of the machines.
The CIA, Google and NASA are among the organisations currently researching the technology through the use of quantum computers made by D-Wave.
Earlier this year, the UK government joined the list of interested parties by announcing a new £270m ($424m) strategy into quantum technology growth through the UK National Quantum Technology Programme.
The 1,000 qubit milestone surpassed by D-Wave represents a “triumph” over design and performance challenges, according to the company, and will be on display at the upcoming GEOINT conference in Tampa, Florida.
“Breaking the 1,000 qubit barrier marks the culmination of years of research and development by our scientists, engineers and manufacturing team,” said D-Wave CEO Vern Brownell.
“It is a critical step toward bringing the promise of quantum computing to bear on some of the most challenging technical, commercial, scientific and national defence problems that organisations face.”
What is quantum computing?
Quantum computers replace traditional bits that are used in digital communications with quantum bits, or qubits. Potential applications can be found in a variety of fields, from medicine to space travel.
Qubits exist in a state of superposition, meaning they can be in both states at once, rather than restricted to either binary state as traditional bits function.
