What exactly is a quantum computer? In 2019, we wrote this explainer story that answers questions you might have been too embarrassed to ask. technologyreview.com/2019/01/29/661…
We’ve also written about the race to build the world’s best quantum computer. This story from February 2020 looks at the horse race between Google and IBM. technologyreview.com/2020/02/26/916…
At #FutureCompute, we’re looking at how different approaches to a quantum computer will impact different uses cases, the progress being made on photonics, and how these advancements will help us answer otherwise impossible questions to solve.
Consider this when thinking about quantum computers:
"It’s not that we don’t have the algorithms [to solve these problems]. We don’t have the machines to run them on" - Peter Barrett, general partner of @Playground_VC#FutureCompute#TechReviewEvents

On January 24, while Southern California’s ICU was at 0% capacity, a group of businessmen were on their way to a pandemic year rarity: an indoor, in-person, mostly unmasked business conference called the Abundance 360 Summit (A360). technologyreview.com/2021/02/13/101…
A360 was created by Peter Diamandis, the founder of the XPrize Foundation and Singularity University, and co-founder and board member of covid-19 vaccine developer Covaxx. xprize.org/about/people/p…
While deepfakes have received enormous attention for their potential political dangers, the vast majority of them are used to target women. technologyreview.com/2019/10/10/132…

@lakshmihanspal of @Box adds that during the pandemic they saw an acceleration of identity, data, and "seamless access to tools" when any "company is only secure as its most insecure links." #FutureCompute#TechReviewEvents
.@IBM is moving towards a future built on the hybrid cloud, artificial intelligence, and ultimately quantum computing. The company's chairman and CEO, @ArvindKrishhna, is explaining why right now at #FutureCompute#TechReviewEvents
