Quantum Computing 2022 Update

Quantum computing annual review. This non-technical video includes developments at IBM, Intel and Microsoft that may help to scale up the technology for future commercial application. My 2021 update which includes discussion of Xanadu’s photonic quantum hardware is here: And the 2020 update that includes coverage of trapped-ion qubits is here: A playlist of all of my quantum computing updates is here: For more information on quantum computing, including details of the 30 pioneers creating quantum hardware and software, see my web page here: REFERENCES Specific sources shown or cited in this video are as follows: Xanadu photonic quantum computing page: Matthew Collins & Zachary Vernon (2020) “On the Road to Room Temperature Quantum Computation”, Medium, June 2nd 2020: IBM quantum computing website: IBM (2022) “Expanding the IBM Quantum roadmap to anticipate the future of quantum-centric supercomputing”, news release May 10th 2022: IBM (2022) “IBM Unveils New Roadmap to Practical Quantum Computing Era; Plans to Deliver 4,000 Qubit System”, news release May 10th 2022: ,000-Qubit-System IBM (2022) “At what cost can we simulate large quantum circuits on small quantum computers?” [article on circuit knitting and other scaling techniques], May 10th 2022: IBM (2022) “IBM scientists help develop NIST’s quantum-safe standards, news release July 6th 2022: NIST (2022) “NIST Announces First Four Quantum-Resistant Cryptographic Algorithms”, news release, July 5th 2022: Intel quantum computing web page: Intel (2022) “Intel and QuTech Collaborate to Produce Silicon Qubits at Scale”, news release, April 14th 2022: # .
