Black Hole Chaos and Quantum “Magic” Could Help Explain the Origin of Spacetime

May 2, 2023 / Efe Anidi

According to a recent mathematical analysis by three RIKEN physicists, a new quantum discovery known as “magic” may hold the key to explaining how space and time came into being.

Researchers have identified “magic,” a numerical indicator of the difficulty of simulating a quantum state on a standard conventional (non-quantum) computer. Their calculations showed that almost any circumstance would turn out to be the most difficult when attempting to simulate a chaotic system’s “maximally magical” state.

This discovery shows that magic played a significant role in the formation of spacetime, which could lead to new theories on faster-than-light physics and the possibilities of interstellar travel through the creation of new modes of travel such as folding space and the opening of wormholes.

As scientists continue to study this phenomenon, the potential applications of using magic to achieve faster-than-light travel and other unprecedented technological advancements seem endless. These findings may eventually allow us to traverse vast distances across the cosmos without even leaving Earth’s atmosphere.

By harnessing the power of magic and understanding how it works within complex systems, we might soon enter into a golden age of exploration and discovery beyond our wildest dreams.

With historic spending, British team hopes to get quantum computing operational “by 2030.”

February 21, 2023 / Efe Anidi

By the end of the decade, Quantum Motion hopes to produce and market breakthrough computers.

In the midst of a worldwide race to conquer the quantum realm, two university academics have obtained the largest-ever investment for a British quantum computing business.

The taxpayer-funded technology investment fund and Porsche SE, the German family-owned multinational that supports the VW Group, have invested £42 million in London-based Quantum Motion.

Professors John Morton and Simon Benjamin, who have spent the last 20 years studying quantum technologies at Oxford and University College London, founded Quantum Motion.

By the end of the decade, the startup wants to be able to produce and market quantum computers to clients like cloud service providers.

Tech giants like Google and IBM, which are also creating their own quantum computers, are approaching the technology entirely differently from Quantum Motion. The British start-up isn’t attempting to use electromagnetic fields or light signals, but rather is advancing existing microprocessor manufacturing technologies.

It believes that doing this will reduce the cost of creating quantum devices that might be used by scientists, researchers, and governments.

When the business announced that it had successfully mounted thousands of quantum devices on a microchip, it was a significant achievement.

The German industrial behemoth Bosch’s venture capital division is driving the investment in Quantum Motion. Via Future Fund Breakthrough, a £375 million fund founded by Rishi Sunak in 2021 to aid high-tech businesses.

Scientists extend qubit lifetimes

December 1, 2022 / Efe Anidi

A team of researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, MIT, Northwestern University, The University of Chicago and the University of Glasgow. Have shown in an experiment that changing a surrounding crystal’s structure to be less symmetric may prolong a molecular qubit’s lifetime.

The qubit is shielded from noise by the asymmetry, allowing it to maintain data five times longer than if it were housed in a symmetrical structure. In contrast to the 2-microsecond coherence duration of a molecular qubit in a symmetrical crystal host, the study team was able to attain a coherence time of 10 microseconds or 10 millionths of a second.

This is a major breakthrough due to longer coherence times which makes for more useful qubits in various applications such as long-distance telecommunications, medicine global navigation, astronomy and computing

This study was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science National Quantum Information Science Research Centers and the Office of Basic Energy Sciences.

Fujitsu Quantum Computer Set to Crack Bitcoin in 2023?

October 17, 2022 / Efe Anidi

Japanese technology multinationals Fujitsu and Riken Research Institute are anticipated to release a potential Bitcoin-defeating quantum computer to businesses in 2023. The computer, which is considerably more potent than Frontier, the fastest supercomputer in the world created by Hewlett-Packard, is anticipated to be initially used for financial forecasting and the development of new pharmaceuticals. The new computer from Fujitsu will make use of so-called superconductor materials, which, when chilled to a temperature close to “absolute zero,” exhibit zero electrical resistance.

A 2022 academic article from Sussex University and the peer-to-peer exchange LocalBitcoins have both issued warnings that quantum computers may be able to defeat the SHA256 algorithm employed by the Bitcoin network.

Unlike Cardano or Ethereum since the merge, in a proof-of-work blockchain system like Bitcoin, miners compete to find a numerical answer to the SHA256 algorithm that surpasses the difficulty, or network goal. The header of a block of Bitcoin transactions and a random number are subjected to so-called hashing operations by miners. Using the SHA256 technique, a certain pattern-following numerical solution can be attained. Often, the miner must complete quadrillions of “hashing” operations per second before he or she can accurately predict the answer. An Application-Specific Integrated Circuit is the preferred type of computer for hashing in the Bitcoin mining process (ASIC). The Bitcoin network’s security, which has been largely impenetrable up until now, is aided by the mathematical complexity of finding the solution. Without it, the network’s security might be compromised.

This innovation by Fujitsu could potentially and easily crack the SHA256 algorithm. That news, alongside the announcement from the Michelle Simmons-led Silicon Quantum Computing, which has designed the world’s first integrated circuit computer created at an atomic scale, means the race for quantum supremacy is heating up. Will a quantum computer crack bitcoin in 2023? Only time will tell. Stay tuned to this blog for updates.

Three-Qubit System Quantum Breakthrough

September 12, 2022 / Efe Anidi

Researchers from RIKEN in Japan have made a critical step toward large-scale quantum computing by showing error correction in a three-qubit silicon-based quantum computing device. This study, which was reported in the journal Nature, may contribute to developing useful quantum computers.

Because they promise to resolve significant issues that can’t be resolved by conventional computers, quantum computers are currently a hot topic of research. They use superimposition states of quantum physics in place of the simple 1 or 0 binary bits seen in conventional computers. Due to their fundamentally different construction, they are however extremely vulnerable to background noise and other issues, such as decoherence, and require error correction to do accurate calculations.

Choosing the optimal systems to act as the “qubits,” or fundamental components required to do quantum calculations is a difficult task. Every potential system has benefits and drawbacks of its own. Superconducting circuits and ions are two of the most widely utilised systems today. They have the advantage of having some form of error correction shown, allowing them to be used in practical applications, albeit on a small scale.

Silicon-based quantum technology, which has only recently begun to be developed, uses a semiconductor nanostructure similar to that routinely used to integrate billions of transistors on a small chip, it may be able to take advantage of already-in-use manufacturing technologies.

The lack of technology for error connection is a significant issue with silicon-based technologies. Two-qubit control has already been shown by researchers, but error correction requires a three-qubit system, which has not yet been achieved.

A three-qubit system, one of the largest qubit systems in silicon, was fully controlled in the current study by researchers from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science and the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing. This achievement allowed for the creation of the first silicon prototype for quantum error correction. They accomplished this by putting in place a Toffoli-type quantum gate with three qubits.

This is a serious breakthrough in the field of quantum computing and can only lead the quantum supercomputer space hotting up with competing technologies from global research centres.

Quantum computing could be revolutionized With DNA

August 4, 2022 / Efe Anidi

A study conducted by scientists at the University of Virginia School of Medicine and collaborators has the potential to revolutionize electronics based on elements found in nature.

A press release reveals that DNA was utilized to guide a chemical reaction which overcame the barrier to Stanford physicist William A. Little’s superconductor, which was thought impossible to overcome.

Their superconductor was created by assembling carbon nanotube lattices with chemistry. Researchers say the DNA-enabled method could be used in physics and materials science for a variety of research applications. Moreover, it could lead to Little’s room-temperature superconductor, which could have a profound impact on electronics.

They have achieved an important breakthrough in superconducting materials, which could revolutionize quantum computing, enabling it to greatly improve other countless scientific fields through its hyper-fast calculations.

The Future & Quantum Computing

August 4, 2022 / Efe Anidi

Nvidia recently announced the Hybrid Quantum-Classical Computing Platform also known as QODA. The future of computing is here. A new system called quantum computing is about to revolutionize the way we think about computers. For the first time ever, quantum computing will use the very quantum physics that the system is built on to outperform traditional computing. Learn about the basics of quantum computing and the possible impacts it will have on the future of computing.

What is quantum computing?

Quantum computing is a term used to describe a new computing device that uses quantum mechanics to perform computations. It is seen as a potential future solution to the problems that are currently not possible to solve with traditional or classical computers. The potential of quantum computing is so great that it has been called the “next step in computing.”

What are the benefits of quantum computing?

Quantum computing is an upcoming technology that will change the way we use computers. The benefits of this technology are the ability to process large amounts of information in a much shorter time frame. It will also enable us to use more complex algorithms, which is why it is being used in the fields of science, healthcare, and finance. Some of the most important benefits of quantum computing include the ability to process more complex algorithms and the ability to process large amounts of information.

What are the possible impacts of quantum computing?

Quantum computing is the next big thing in computing. It is a type of computing that is based on the principles of quantum physics. Quantum computing will be able to solve problems that are not possible with traditional computers. This is due to the fact that quantum computing is able to use quantum bits or qubits. They are able to solve problems that are not possible with traditional bits. This is due to the fact that a quantum bit can be in many places at once.

The future of quantum computing is not yet set in stone. There are a lot of possibilities. One of the ways that quantum computing is set to change the world is with the ability to work with large amounts of data. Another way that quantum computing is going to change our world is with the ability to predict the future by using information from the past. With the ability to predict the future, there will be a lot less uncertainty in our lives and new ways of living there is no doubt that quantum computing will radically change the Earth and impact the lives of everybody on the planet over the next decade.

What if we could travel to the future?

August 2, 2022 / Efe Anidi

There is going to come a time when all science fiction becomes a reality. Today, I am thinking about time travel. What if we could travel to the future? What would that look like?

The idea of time travel

If we could travel to the future, we would see an amazing world filled with technological advances. But what are the consequences of time travel? If you were able to travel to the future, would you be able to change the outcome of your life in the past? It is possible, but it is also hazardous. If you were able to travel to the future, you could change the outcome of the timeline, which would cause a ripple effect and in turn an infinite amount of paradoxes. This could be a good thing, but it could also be bad as the consequences of time travel could lead to so many paradoxes that the earth could eventually end. As was explored in the television show Dark, how do we avoid those paradoxes? Well, that is a question outside the scope of this article but I will write another article addressing time and paradoxes. in the future excuse the pun. However for now read on to find out how the future would be different.

How would the future be different?

The future would be a very different place. There would be flying cars and robots that would do all of our work for us. You could take a weekend trip to the moon. There would be no more pollution on earth because everything is recycled. And the most important thing of all, there would be no more hunger because food would be grown in towers and replicated so there would be no need for mass farming production, farming or aid programmes. Now that sounds like a crazy notion or utopia to many but if you were to build a time machine and travel back to the time of King Henry and bring him to modern-day London he would have thought he had died and entered heaven as even the poorest Londoners who live off the streets in the 21s Century and in some form of dwelling live at the standard of a King or Queen of the middle ages strange but true.

What would happen?

It would be an amazing experience, but it’s not that easy to do from a matter transportation standpoint. Some people would say that the future is already here, but the universe is expanding and the future is always changing. If we could travel to the future, we would see how different the world is from what we know today. We would see how much technology has progressed and how much the world has changed for the better.

As a child, I would imagine what it would be like if I could travel to the future. I would imagine the world being completely different from how it is now. I would imagine a world where we could travel to different planets, meet aliens, and even visit the past. It is a fun thought to imagine what the world would be like if we could travel to the future. What are your thoughts on the future?
