Here is the impact of today’s IBM QC announcement & if proven real then the following will certainly be fasttracked:
1. IBM is now ahead of everyone in QC
2. China & Russia are now going to heat up their own QC efforts.
3. Google and Microsoft will accelerate their efforts to showcase QC in many areas of IoT including AI.
4. Apple will now need to join the QC revolution or face a future of non-existence in the long run because devices, networks & platforms, communications, etc. will now be quick to make the transition.
5. Robotics, genetic research capabilities and other medical technologies, etc. will be drastically advance to levels that we have.
Orzell’s response to Siegel’s blog about breaking quantum entanglement and slowing down quantum communications — Orzell highlights some of the problems with Siegel’s statement about how quantum entanglement can be broken via two opposing states. The problem with Siegel’s statement is not with the breaking of entanglement slows down quantum communications; Orzell’s concern is with the details that Siegel describes in how it happens is the problem according to Orzell. Orzell highlights that the 2 state’s that Siegel shares as details to why and how the breakage occurs are not close enough by definition to make the argument valid because one is only a measurement while the other is the actual changing of state followed by a measurement.
Quantum entanglement is one of the weirdest and coolest phenomena in physics, but it’s absolutely not a method for sending messages faster than light, for subtle and complicated reasons.
Hmmm; my verdict is out for now because I haven’t seen anything showing me that IBM is a real player in this space.
IBM is bringing quantum computing to a device near you by delivering its IBM Quantum Experience through the IBM Cloud. The platform is part of IBM’s Research Frontiers Institute and could be a data scientist’s newest tool and a data junkie’s dream come true.
The platform is available on any desktop or mobile device. The tech allows users to “run algorithms and experiments on IBM’s quantum processor, work with the individual quantum bits (qubits), and explore tutorials and simulations around what might be possible with quantum computing,” the press release noted.
The processor itself, which is housed at the T.J. Watson Research Center in New York, is made up of five superconducting qubits.
Hmmm; my verdict is out for now.

On Wednesday, May 4, for the first time ever, IBM is making quantum computing available via the cloud to anyone interested in hands-on access to an IBM quantum processor, making it easier for researchers and the scientific community to accelerate innovations, and help discover new applications for this technology. This is the beginning of the quantum age of computing and the latest advance from IBM towards building a universal quantum computer. A universal quantum computer, once built, will represent one of the greatest milestones in the history of information technology and has the potential to solve certain problems we couldn’t solve, and will never be able to solve, with today’s classical computers.

IBM scientists have built a quantum processor that users can access through a first-of-a-kind quantum computing platform delivered via the IBM Cloud onto any desktop or mobile device. IBM believes quantum computing is the future of computing and has the potential to solve certain problems that are impossible to solve on today’s supercomputers.
It’s a new kind of computer that’s kept at temperatures close to absolute zero.
More insights around the logical quantum gate for photons discovered by Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ). Being able to leverage this gate enables Qubits in transmission and processing can be more controlled and manipulated through this discovery, and places us closer to a stable Quantum Computing environment.
MPQ scientists take an important step towards a logical quantum gate for photons.
Scientists from all over the world are working on concepts for future quantum computers and their experimental realization. Commonly, a typical quantum computer is considered to be based on a network of quantum particles that serve for storing, encoding and processing quantum information. In analogy to the case of a classical computer a quantum logic gate that assigns output signals to input signals in a deterministic way would be an essential building block. A team around Dr. Stephan Dürr from the Quantum Dynamics Division of Prof. Gerhard Rempe at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics has now demonstrated in an experiment how an important gate operation — the exchange of the binary bit values 0 and 1 — can be realized with single photons. A first light pulse containing one photon only is stored as an excitation in an ultracold cloud of about 100,000 rubidium atoms.
