A new market forecast from Boston Consulting Group (BCG) states that while quantum computing has not yet demonstrated a clear advantage over classical computing in practical applications, significant progress is being made in qubit counts, investment, and government support. The long-term forecast remains positive, with an expectation that quantum computing will generate $450 billion to $850 billion in economic value by 2040, creating a substantial market for hardware and software. However, near-term expectations for value creation in the NISQ era have been optimistic and need some adjustment. The Long-Term Forecast for Quantum Computing Still Looks Bright https://hubs.ly/Q02Hd6tq0

While much attention has been paid recently to quantum computing techniques in machine learning, there is much that classical machine learning can offer to quantum computers. In this work, a team based in Canada and Sweden explores the use of GPT-style learning to predict measurement probabilities for calculations done on analog neutral-atom quantum computers. Their focus lies in the generation of bitstrings for systems trained close to a quantum phase transition in the square lattice. Promising capacity to extrapolate results are is observed, and the authors suggest the use of similar methodology, trained on vastly more data and larger system sizes, to increase prediction capacity and foster co-design of AI and quantum technologies.

Quantum might help AI, but it seems that AI could also help quantum. An article on Phys.org covers an interesting approach by CSIRO to implement a syndrome decoder to improve error correction. Unfortunately, the researchers report, "In our work, we do not observe error suppression when the error correction code distance is increased, as theoretically anticipated, due to currently large noise levels (above code threshold) in IBM quantum processors." but this could still be a promising direction. https://hubs.ly/Q02Gtyzq0

This blog post from NVIDIA describes classical supercomputer upgrades at Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) close to where a QuEra neutral-atom quantum computer will be installed on-premises next year. Per NVIDIA, this supercomputer, built HPE and powered by thousands of NVIDIA H200 GPUs and Quantum-2 InfiniBand, aims to advance generative AI, improve energy efficiency, and support Japan's AI sovereignty. BTW, if you are in Tokyo on the week of July 22nd, representatives from AIST, QuEra and NVIDIA will all be presenting at the upcoming #Q2B Tokyo conference Japan Enhances AI Sovereignty With Advanced ABCI 3.0 Supercomputer https://hubs.ly/Q02GtWRM0

An interesting podcast episode hosted by Bonnie Glaser, managing director of the Indo-Pacific Program at the German Marshall Fund of the United States, discusses the competition between the US and China in the field of quantum computing. The guest, Sam Howell, an adjunct associate fellow at the Center for a New American Security (CNAS), explains quantum computing in layman's terms, highlighting its potential applications in various fields. https://hubs.ly/Q02GtGQQ0 The discussion touches on the US and China's strengths and weaknesses in quantum computing. The US leads in private investment and patent applications, while China outspends the US government in quantum R&D and produces a higher volume of research publications, though the quality is debated. The conversation also addresses the role of other countries like Germany, the UK, Australia, and Japan in the quantum computing race and the importance of international collaboration. The podcast also explores the strategic and security implications of China's push for technological self-sufficiency in quantum computing and the potential risks associated with dependencies on critical materials like rare earth elements. Howell emphasizes the importance of the US building a robust quantum technology supply chain and fostering a quantum technology workforce to maintain its competitive edge. The discussion concludes with predictions on how the US-China competition in quantum computing will unfold, focusing on the commercialization of quantum technologies and the importance of error-corrected qubits in assessing the capability of quantum computers.

John Timmer makes a good point in his Ars Technica article. While the precise implementation of syndrome processing - FPGA, ASIC, GPU, or something else - is yet to be determined, a classical co-processor is a good friend of any QPU with error correction.

In the RealClearDefense article "Quantum Computing Must Remain at Forefront of National Security Efforts," Gary Roughead, a retired Admiral and former Chief of Naval Operations, emphasizes the critical importance of quantum computing for national security. Roughead argues that quantum computing technology, with its potential to break current encryption standards and offer unprecedented computational power, presents both significant opportunities and threats. Roughead highlights the urgency for the United States to invest in and prioritize quantum computing to maintain a technological edge over adversaries like China, which has already made considerable advancements in this field. He underscores the potential risks quantum computers pose to cybersecurity, particularly through their ability to decrypt sensitive information that current encryption methods protect. To mitigate these threats, Roughead calls for accelerated development and implementation of post-quantum cryptography, which is resistant to quantum attacks. He also advocates for a proactive approach in transitioning to quantum-resistant encryption to safeguard military and civilian data against future quantum threats. https://hubs.ly/Q02GtC4S0
