The United States began testing the application of AI in air combat earlier than China. While China was still engaging in real-sky combat between human-controlled and AI-controlled drones, US test pilots had already taken their dogfighting AI to the skies for trials. But while it is unclear whether America has also solved the same AI …
US2QC program seeks to evaluate paths to fault-tolerant quantum computing on much faster time horizons than conventional predictions PALO ALTO, Calif., January 09, 2024–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PsiQuantum today announced that it was awarded a contract with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to continue work on the Underexplored Systems for Utility-Scale Quantum Computing (US2QC) program, which …
A team of Harvard scientists working on a project funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has announced a significant breakthrough in the field of quantum computing. Researchers working with the Optimization with Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (ONISQ) program say they have created the world’s first quantum circuit using logical quantum bits (qubits). The …
Insider Brief Microsoft and PsiQuantum will move on in DARPA’s Underexplored Systems for Utility-Scale Quantum Computing (US2QC) program. The program is investigating less conventional quantum computing methods can achieve utility-scale operation. Utility-scale devices offer computational benefits that surpass the costs of operating the devices. Microsoft and PsiQuantum have emerged as frontrunners in Defense Advanced Research …
Networks / Cyber An overheard view of the DARPA-funded, Harvard-led quantum computing experiment (Harvard photo) WASHINGTON — Widespread quantum computing may now come years sooner than widely expected, thanks to a Pentagon-funded project with implications for everything from rapid vaccine development and weather forecasting to cyber warfare and codebreaking. If the Harvard-led experiment can be …
