- Quantum Software Outlook 2020
In 2020 everyone will want to persuade you to join their quantum software camp. Not everyone will come away happy. Huddling round the community fire may be a good way to keep the chills of quantum winter at bay. Making camp Everyone knows how lucrative controlling the software playing field ... read more - Quantum Landscape Outlook 2020
The quantum race is truly underway as regions and nations vie to join the $1 billion club. 2020 will see geopolitical considerations increasingly hard to ignore as major national programmes chart their way forward. 2019 was a year of consolidation for national quantum programmes. Everyone wanted to boast about how ... read more - Quantum safe cryptography – waiting to save the world
Future quantum computers will one day bring us many great benefits. Unfortunately they will also break many of the cryptographic protocols on which current Internet security depends. Google’s quantum supremacy breakthrough notwithstanding, this is still most likely many years off. However, sensitive data intercepted and stored today, or long lifecycle ... read more

- Evolving as a modern e-state : why reinvent government servicesWhile love might not be part of the equation, states do have long-term relationships with their citizens. It’s a kind of contract: in exchange for security, order and efficient everyday services, the citizen pays taxes and abides by the law. In the digital age, one might expect governments to deliver ... read more
- Evolving as a modern e-state : the essential paradigm shiftSince the agricultural revolution, people have organized themselves into communities to grow crops, create wealth, make laws and settle disputes. Over time, public administrations evolved to maintain the rule of law; these created huge bureaucracies and tightly controlled procedures to keep updated registers and archives about their citizens. Not only ... read more
- Obsolete and absolute e-statesAll over the world, governments are under increasing pressure to accelerate their transformation into modern ‘e-states’ to achieve their goals. Whether to save taxpayers’ money, safeguard national security, implement new policies, or deliver cheaper, better, faster public services, governments everywhere need to harness the power, speed and agility of digital ... read more
- Tech a minute video: The impact of Quantum technology on healthcare
Posted on: 4 December 2019 On average, researchers spend 12 years working out which drugs are most effective in fighting disease. This process can be significantly shortened with quantum computers that have enough computational power to actually envision all possible outcomes. So, beside faster drug research what other benefits can we expect ... read more - A quantum leap for healthcareWith recent advances in data and analytics, automation and artificial intelligence, the capacity even of today’s most advanced supercomputers will start to reach its limits. The good news is that a new computing power is emerging that will bring remarkable changes to many sectors, including healthcare. Quantum computing is opening ... read more
- How quantum can provide the pot of gold in an ever-growing mazeIt was always one of the greatest challenges as a little kid: finding your way out of a maze. Every time an attempt took me longer than I wanted, I wished for a simulator of some kind that could help me find the exit sooner. Now, imagine yourself being in ... read more
- A quantum approach to statistics
Imagine you are playing the finale of a quiz which has three doors. Behind one door is a new Model X Tesla which you greatly desire. Behind the two other doors there are goats, and you do not particularly like goats. The quizmaster only speaks the truth and asks you ... read more - Quantum computing in Financial Services, worry or be happy?In December 2014, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) became one of the first commercial organizations, to invest significantly in Quantum Computing. This was long before the large American companies Microsoft, Intel, IBM, and Google, made the topic popular. In April 2017, they increased this amount with an additional 14$ ... read more
- The Quantum Gap
For those versed in quantum technology, I don’t mean a bandgap when I say ‘the quantum gap’ – though it would have been an excellent metaphor as this gap is also the difference between isolation and flow. By ‘quantum gap’ I mean the current gap between quantum hardware and quantum ... read more - Looking under the quantum hood: Why hardware-oriented quantum software engineering matters
Whether quantum technology will fulfill its speedup promises hinges on how well “textbook” quantum algorithms will be adapted to and optimized for imperfect physical quantum devices thanks to specific hardware models and simulations. Will high-performance computing systems ever get quantum? The stakes behind this question are high: in theory, quantum ... read more
