new Exascale systems are the first HPC machines to provide the size and speed needed to run regional-level, end-to-end simulations of an earthquake event—from the fault rupture to the waves propagating through the heterogeneous Earth to the waves interacting with a structure—at higher frequencies that are necessary for infrastructure assessments in less time. However, the full potential of exascale could only be realized through a concerted effort to enhance the codes used to run the models and implementation of improved software technology products to boost application performance and efficiency. Through DOE’s Exascale Computing Project (ECP), a multidisciplinary team of seismologists, applied mathematicians, applications and software developers, and computational scientists have worked in tandem to produce EQSIM—a unique framework that simulates site-specific ground motions to investigate the complex distribution of infrastructure risk resulting from various earthquake scenarios. — HPCwire, 19h ago

new As you know, that view can be rejected as a kind of metaphysical, necessitarian prejudice. The claim is that, in fact, when we look at what science tells us about quantum phenomena and the indeterministic order of things, especially now, in the 21st century, we shouldn’t endorse that picture. What we need is a probabilistic conception of causation rather than a necessitarian one. It’s exactly that wedge that Kane uses as the metaphysical or ontological foundation of this alternative picture. He also uses computing analogies, and suggests that you can have parallel processing systems where the outcome isn’t always the same. The system can be in a seemingly identical state, but different outcomes will issue from it. Same inputs, different outputs. — Five Books, 2d ago

new Post-quantum cryptography is not yet a top priority for most bank CISOs, despite the existential threat it poses. More immediate issues like AI, biometrics, customer adoption and fraud take precedence currently. However, long data retention mandates in banking mean "harvest now, decrypt later" quantum attacks could expose records far in the future. Banks should already be upgrading cryptography to post-quantum standards, even if quantum computers aren't yet a reality. For banks, threats like synthetic identity theft feel more tangible in the short term. Post-quantum seems abstract, like the early warnings about climate change decades ago. But quantum computing will manifest itself eventually, and the failure to prepare will be felt for the next 20-30 years. — Financial IT, 2d ago

new Those risks are compounded when considered against a catch phrase of our time – “data is the new oil” — underscoring data’s role as the critical resource in the 21st-century economy. To be absent from the data sets on which AI understands the world is to go missing entirely.And lest we allow ourselves to think there will be a break in this exponential growth, Hartmut Neven of the Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab at Google would remind us of a law named for him — Neven’s law — which says that quantum computers are gaining computational power at a doubly exponential rate and, while a long way off, has the potential to dwarf Moore’s law. Quantum computing raises the spectrum of sentient AI that would eventually come to think and feel like humans.Indigenous Canadian writer Alicia Elliott is not working on a law per se but on reinventing the Haudenosaunee creation story. Her people know what it means to wrestle back their culture and texts after losing them to outside forces. Looking to the future, she says there is nothing more important than to define and defend what it means to be human. Policymakers would do well to consider all that that means. — GovTech, 2d ago

A milestone in the field of quantum computing will be solving problems in quantum chemistry and materials faster than state-of-the-art classical methods. The current understanding is that achieving quantum advantage in this area will require some degree of fault tolerance. While hardware is improving towards this milestone, optimizing quantum algorithms also brings it closer to the present. Existing methods for ground state energy estimation are costly in that they require a number of gates per circuit that grows exponentially with the desired number of bits in precision. We reduce this cost exponentially, by developing a ground state energy estimation algorithm for which this cost grows linearly in the number of bits of precision. Relative to recent resource estimates of ground state energy estimation for the industrially-relevant molecules of ethylene-carbonate and PF$_6^-$, the estimated gate count and circuit depth is reduced by a factor of 43 and 78, respectively. Furthermore, the algorithm can use additional circuit depth to reduce the total runtime. These features make our algorithm a promising candidate for realizing quantum advantage in the era of early fault-tolerant quantum computing. — CoinGenius, 28d ago

Quantum computers will be one of the defining frontiers in computing over the next century. Utilizing the power of quantum mechanics to provide near-infinite parallelism to “divide and conquer” certain types of problems better than any traditional computer before them, quantum computers will likely herald many breakthroughs in areas such as AI, high finance, medical innovation, and pharmaceutical research due to their unique capabilities. — Cyber Defense Magazine, 27d ago

Newswise — Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are compact devices that combine multiple optical components on a single chip. They have a wide range of applications in communications, ranging, sensing, computing, spectroscopy, and quantum technology. PICs are now manufactured using mature semiconductor fabrication technologies. It has reduced costs and improved performance. This makes PICs a promising technology for a variety of applications.Photonic packaging is much more challenging than electronic packaging. PICs require much higher alignment accuracy, typically at the micron or even submicron level. This is because the optical modes of PICs need to be precisely matched.The tight alignment tolerance of PICs makes them incompatible with mainstream electronic packaging techniques and infrastructure. Additionally, the increasing demand for heterogeneous or hybrid integration of multiple material platforms (such as silicon III-V and lithium niobite) is another challenge for photonic packaging. New packaging technologies and device architectures are needed to address these challenges.In a new paper published in Light Advanced Manufacturing, a team of scientists led by Dr. Shaoliang Yu and Qingyang Du have developed new packaging technologies.Two-photon lithography (TPL) is a laser-based technology that can be used to create 3D structures with very high resolution. It has recently emerged as a promising approach for photonic packaging, which is the process of assembling and connecting photonic components into a single system.TPL offers several unique advantages for photonic packaging. TPL can be used to create various 3D photonic structures, such as beam shapers and mode transformers. This is important for achieving high coupling efficiency and wide bandwidths when connecting different optical components in a system.It can also form optical connections between photonic components after assembly. This is because the shape of the connections can be customized according to the relative displacement between the components. This relaxes the alignment tolerance during PIC assembly and enables the use of standard electronic assembly techniques.TPL can create high-channel-density, low-loss 2.5-D or 3-D links to accommodate the height differences between the optical ports inside a package. This is particularly important for hybrid integration, in which modules are patterned on different substrates with varying thicknesses.TPL can be used to form micro- and nano-mechanical structures to guide precise component placement in a passive alignment process or pluggable optical connectors.In addition to these advantages, TPL resins are typically broadband and low in optical attenuation, making them suitable for building low-loss optical links between dissimilar material platforms.Overall, TPL is a versatile and powerful technology for photonic packaging. It offers several unique advantages that can help to address the challenges of packaging PICs, such as the tight alignment tolerance and the need for heterogeneous or hybrid integration. As the photonics industry increasingly adopts TPL, further research and development efforts are underway to boost TPL fabrication throughput, expand the material repertoire, and develop new design and characterization tools. — newswise.com, 3d ago

Newswise — Superconductors are materials that do not have any electrical resistance when the temperature is below a certain threshold, the so-called transition temperature. This makes them highly interesting for various applications in the areas of energy conversion and distribution. However, scientists have not yet understood why strontium ruthenate (Sr2RuO4) is superconductive. “Conventional theory cannot be applied to strontium ruthenate. But quantum mechanics helps, as it cannot only be used to describe the properties of single atoms and molecules. It also explains the collective properties of multi-particle systems,” says Professor Jörg Schmalian, Head of KIT’s Institute for Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics (TKM) and of the Theory of Quantum Materials Division of KIT’s Institute for Quantum Materials and Technologies (IQMT). — newswise.com, 3d ago

Abstract: Controlling magnetism with voltage has an enormous potential to boost energy efficiency in nanoscale magnetoelectric devices since the use of electric fields (instead of magnetic fields or electric currents) minimizes Joule heating effects and reduces the overall device power consumption. In recent years, we have demonstrated the possibility to induce reversible, non-volatile changes in the magnetic properties (coercivity, remanent magnetization and saturation magnetization) of nanoporous films consisting of metal alloys (e.g., CuNi, FeCu) or oxides (e.g., FeOx, CoFe2O4), by applying an electric field through a liquid electrolyte gate at room temperature [1,2]. In addition, we have made significant progress in the field of magneto-ionics (i.e., voltage-driven ion transport in magnetic materials), which has traditionally relied on controlled migration of oxygen or lithium ions. Here, I will show that voltage-driven transport of nitrogen ions can be also triggered at room temperature in transition metal nitride (CoN, FeN, CoMnN and CoFeN) films via liquid electrolyte gating [3,4]. Nitrogen magneto-ionics can induce reversible ON-OFF transitions of ferromagnetic states at faster rates and lower threshold voltages than oxygen magneto-ionics. This is due to the lower activation energy needed for ion diffusion and the lower electronegativity of nitrogen with cobalt, compared with oxygen. Remarkably, and in contrast to oxygen magneto-ionics, nitrogen transport occurs uniformly through a plane-wave-like migration front, without the assistance of diffusion channels, which is particularly interesting for the implementation of multi-stack memory devices. Furthermore, we will show that both oxygen and nitrogen magneto-ionics can be used to emulate some important neuromorphic/synaptic functionalities (spike amplitude-dependent plasticity, spike duration-dependent plasticity, long term potentiation/depression). By tuning ion cumulative effects of DC and pulsed voltage actuation (at frequencies in the range 1 – 100 Hz), learning, memory retention, forgetting and self-learning by maturity (post-stimulated learning) can be mimicked. The latter can serve as a logical function for the device to decide between self-learning or forgetting emulation, at will, post-voltage input. This constitutes a novel approach to emulate some specific neural functionalities (e.g., learning under deep sleep), that are challenging to achieve using other classes of materials currently employed for neuromorphic computing applications. — icn2.cat, 4d ago

Sheila Hara, Senior Director, Product Management, Email Protection: While Quantum Computing is not an immediate threat to current security measures, it’s important to proactively consider its potential impact and take steps to prepare for a future where Quantum capabilities may challenge existing cryptographic protections. Quantum computers have the theoretical capability to break widely used encryption algorithms, such as RSA and ECC, through a process known as Shor’s algorithm. This means that sensitive data encrypted with these algorithms could potentially be decrypted by a Quantum computer. Confidential information, including personal data, financial transactions and sensitive communications, could be at risk if encryption methods are compromised by Quantum Computing. The transition from current cryptographic standards to Quantum-resistant standards will take time and careful planning. Organisations need to start considering this transition to ensure the security of their data in the future. — Intelligent CISO, 14d ago

Previously proposed quantum algorithms for solving linear systems of equations cannot be implemented in the near term due to the required circuit depth. Here, we propose a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm, called Variational Quantum Linear Solver (VQLS), for solving linear systems on near-term quantum computers. VQLS seeks to variationally prepare $|xrangle$ such that $A|xranglepropto|brangle$. We derive an operationally meaningful termination condition for VQLS that allows one to guarantee that a desired solution precision $epsilon$ is achieved. Specifically, we prove that $C geqslant epsilon^2 / kappa^2$, where $C$ is the VQLS cost function and $kappa$ is the condition number of $A$. We present efficient quantum circuits to estimate $C$, while providing evidence for the classical hardness of its estimation. Using Rigetti’s quantum computer, we successfully implement VQLS up to a problem size of $1024times1024$. Finally, we numerically solve non-trivial problems of size up to $2^{50}times2^{50}$. For the specific examples that we consider, we heuristically find that the time complexity of VQLS scales efficiently in $epsilon$, $kappa$, and the system size $N$. — CoinGenius, 12d ago

Quantum computers attract most of the interest due primarily to their simple elevator pitch: an exponential reduction in computation time enabling far more complex problems to be solved than at present. Everyone uses a computer, so can easily appreciate the prospect of a much faster and more capable computer.

Furthermore, while the specific problems quantum computing is best suited to tackle within each industry vary, the additional processing capabilities of a quantum computer is largely market vertical agnostic. — Artificial Intelligence Research, 18d ago

In the meantime, speculation swirled as to what had driven Altman’s ouster. Reuters suggested that a troubling new development in OpenAI’s research might have played a part in his sudden firing—according to anonymous sources, a new feature known as Q* (pronounced Q Star) seemed to show that the company’s “large language model” AI engine was capable of doing basic math without external help. This might not sound impressive, but it implied that OpenAI’s engine was capable of logical reasoning, which some observers suggested would be a major step toward “artificial general intelligence” or AGI—the idea that an AI engine could become intelligent enough to reason like a human, which is a holy grail in the AI field. A number of sources, however, subsequently poured cold water on the idea that this advancement in OpenAI’s engine indicated a quantum leap forward for the industry and that said development—or Altman’s secrecy about it—might have led to his removal. — Columbia Journalism Review, 4d ago

Noise on the radio when reception is poor is a typical example of how fluctuations mask a physical signal. In fact, such interference or noise occurs in every physical measurement in addition to the actual signal. "Even in the loneliest place in the universe, where there should be nothing at all, there are still fluctuations of the electromagnetic field," says physicist Ulrich Nowak. In the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1432 "Fluctuations and Nonlinearities in Classical and Quantum Matter beyond Equilibrium" at the University of Konstanz, researchers do not see this omnipresent noise as a disturbing factor that needs to be eliminated as far as possible, but as a source of information that tells us something about the signal. — ScienceDaily, 4d ago

Quantum machine learning has the potential for a transformative impact across industry sectors and in particular in finance. In our work we look at the problem of hedging where deep reinforcement learning offers a powerful framework for real markets. We develop quantum reinforcement learning methods based on policy-search and distributional actor-critic algorithms that use quantum neural network architectures with orthogonal and compound layers for the policy and value functions. We prove that the quantum neural networks we use are trainable, and we perform extensive simulations that show that quantum models can reduce the number of trainable parameters while achieving comparable performance and that the distributional approach obtains better performance than other standard approaches, both classical and quantum. We successfully implement the proposed models on a trapped-ion quantum processor, utilizing circuits with up to $16$ qubits, and observe performance that agrees well with noiseless simulation. Our quantum techniques are general and can be applied to other reinforcement learning problems beyond hedging. — CoinGenius, 5d ago

The project, run by the BIS Innovation Hub’s Swiss centre working alongside the Swiss National Bank (SNB), was launched just over 12 months ago as an exploration in how to ‘improve’ CBDC privacy, cyber-resiliency and scalability through prototype development. Designing a CBDC involves ‘complex’ trade-offs between these three elements, BIS stated, explaining that – for example – privacy needs to be balanced against the need to counter money laundering, terrorism financing and other illicit payments; and that higher resiliency against cyber-attacks, especially from quantum computers, requires additional cryptography, which can slow payment processing.BIS Innovation Hub Swiss centre head Morten Bech said the project would ‘push central banks’ technological frontier’. He and colleagues’ subsequent work, which has also involved IBM as private-sector technology partner, sought to address the three features simultaneously: privacy – by enabling payer anonymity; cyber-security – by implementing ‘quantum-safe’ cryptography; and scalability – by testing the prototype’s ability to handle a growing number of transactions using payment data. — Global Government Fintech, 5d ago

Despite the technological prowess demonstrated in laboratory settings, the use of electronic noses in everyday environments faces challenges. Limitations include the need for greater portability, improved power efficiency, enhanced performance, and quicker, more reliable odour classification. Advances in machine learning have increased the accuracy of electronic noses; however, these improvements often come at the cost of increased computational demand, affecting the device’s portability and energy usage. Current research in neuromorphic computing, inspired by the brain’s efficient processing, promises to overcome these limitations by emulating the accuracy and low-energy profile of the natural olfactory system. While previous studies have achieved intricate biological mimicry, such complexity is not practical for widespread application. — BrainChip, 5d ago

Four professors from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign—Angela Kou and Wolfgang Pfaff from Physics, and Pinshane Huang and Andre Schleife from Materials Science and Engineering—have secured a nearly $1 million grant from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. This two-year project, “Identifying the origin and lossy defects in Josephson junctions,” focuses on enhancing the understanding and control of Josephson junctions, critical components in superconducting qubits for quantum computing. In the current phase of quantum computing development, known as the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era, the challenge lies in effectively increasing the number of qubits and junctions per chip. The research team aims to delve into the materials science behind these junctions, primarily composed of aluminum/aluminum oxide/aluminum, to address the unpredictability caused by their microstructural disorder. Through techniques like transmission electron microscopy and low-temperature device characterization, the team plans to analyze these junctions’ structural and elemental composition and assess defect densities. This comprehensive study is expected to yield significant data, potentially leading to a more reliable method for reducing detrimental defects in quantum computing hardware. The collaboration between the university’s materials science and physics departments plays a key role in the project’s feasibility and success. — Inside Quantum Technology, 19d ago

Enhanced sampling methods (ES) and machine learning potentials (MLPs) have enabled classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to characterize molecular systems in a reasonable computational time: ES allows to explore broader portions of the configuration space much faster than conventional MD [1], while MLPs can reach ab initio accuracy at the cost of a force field [2], making possible, for instance, to include solvent effects in chemical reactions [3]. However, the accuracy of classical MD is limited in cases where nuclear quantum effects (NQEs) are important, for example, when computing equilibrium properties of hydrogen-bonded systems like water[4] or chemical transformations where proton transfers are at play, which is the case for many biological systems such as the DNA [5,6]. — epfl.ch, 5d ago

Exascale computing’s promise rests on the ability to synthesize massive amounts of data into detailed simulations so complex that previous generations of computers couldn’t handle the calculations. The faster the computer, the more possibilities and probabilities can be plugged into the simulation to be tested against what’s already known — how a nuclear reactor might respond to a power failure, how cancer cells might respond to new treatments, how a 3D-printed design might hold up under strain.The process helps researchers target their experiments and fine-tune designs while saving the time and expense of real-world testing. Scientists from around the world compete for time on Frontier through DOE’s Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment, or INCITE, program.“The bigger the idea, the bigger the simulation,” Atchley said. “A machine of Frontier’s power can let you tackle exponentially larger problems because it can do the math faster than any other machine.”Simulating the universe? Exascale allows for not just more planets and stars but whole galaxies. Simulating quantum mechanics? A machine like Frontier allows for more particles. Simulating climate or weather? Frontier allows global modeling at a size, scale and level of accuracy over a longer time frame than ever before.“It’s like the difference between ‘Donkey Kong’ and ‘Grand Theft Auto,’” Atchley said. “Because Frontier is so much faster, we can perform simulations in minutes, hours or days that would take years or even decades to complete on other machines — which means they wouldn’t be done.”Scientists initially questioned whether exascale computing could be done at all. The discussion jumped from theoretical to practical in 2008 after the Roadrunner supercomputer at Los Alamos National Laboratory achieved petascale speed with a run clocked at 1 petaflop, or 1 quadrillion calculations per second. The OLCF’s Jaguar logged nearly double that speed a year later.Could high-speed computing make the leap to the next order of magnitude? Not likely, experts warned.“Just one major challenge threatened to be a showstopper,” said Al Geist, an ORNL corporate fellow and chief technology officer for the Frontier project. “We identified four, and all of them would have to be overcome — power consumption, reliability, data movement and parallelism.”... — ornl.gov, 20d ago
