Cloud-based quantum computing will allow secure calculation on encrypted bits
Posted by admin in Computers, Hi-tech on 20. Jan, 2012 | 0 Comments
When quantum computers eventually reach larger scales, they’ll probably remain pretty precious resources, locked away in research institutions just like our classical supercomputers. So anyone who wants to perform quantum calculations will likely have to do it in the cloud, remotely accessing a quantum server somewhere else. A new double-blind cryptography method would ensure that [...]

A Japanese supercomputer is now the world’s fastest, unseating the previous record-holder by nearly a factor of four. The K Computer, based at the RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science (AICS) in Kobe, can perform 8 petaflops — that’s 8 quadrillion calculations per second. The next-best computer is China’s Tianhe-1A , which set a record [...]

This is a Teleportation Device The setup Noriyuki Lee and colleagues used to teleport quantum light In a real-life use of Schrödinger’s theoretical paradoxical cat, researchers report that they were able to quickly transfer a complex set of quantum information while preserving its integrity. The information, in the form of light, was manipulated in such [...]
