The IBM Q System One quantum computer.

Earlier this year,told attendees at this year’s World Economic Forum in Davos that he believes in blockchain, web3 and metaverse innovations, but feels the sector needs a “ChatGPT moment.”


Which raises the question: Is a “ChaptGPT moment” coming for quantum computing?

RECENT QUANTUM COMPUTING BREAKTHROUGHS


The New York Times just printed an article this past week with this headline: Quantum Computing Advance Begins New Era, IBM Says. Here’s an excerpt:



“Quantum computers today are small in computational scope — the chip inside your smartphone contains billions of transistors, while the most powerful quantum computer contains a few hundred of the quantum equivalent of a transistor. They are also unreliable. If you run the same calculation over and over, they will most likely churn out different answers each time.
“But with their intrinsic ability to consider many possibilities at once, quantum computers do not have to be very large to tackle certain prickly problems of computation, and on Wednesday, IBM researchers announced that they had devised a method to manage the unreliability in a way that would lead to reliable, useful answers.” “For years, quantum computing experts have been hopeful that the technology could allow for entirely new kinds of calculations, which might be useful across bat ..
