Google Quantum AI shifts Strategy with Investment in Neutral Atom Quantum Computers   Google Quantum AI's investment in QuEra Computing Inc. Computing marks a significant shift in its quantum computing strategy. Historically, Google has concentrated on superconducting qubits for quantum computers, which rely on circuits cooled to near absolute zero to perform quantum operations. With this new partnership with QuEra, Google is diversifying into neutral atom quantum computers, a different approach with potential advantages in scalability and error correction.   QuEra’s neutral atom technology uses individual atoms as qubits, held in place by laser light in a highly controllable manner. This method allows for precise manipulation and offers the potential to build systems with larger qubit counts more easily than traditional superconducting systems.    Google's move shows the intention to expand its quantum computing portfolio and explore new technological avenues, aiming to be at the forefront of the quantum race by supporting diverse, promising approaches to quantum hardware development. This shift reflects the broader trend in the quantum computing space, where different qubit technologies are being explored to find the most effective solution for real-world applications. This is one of the reasons why QuantumBasel is a “neutral hub”, collaborating with a variety of technology partners and providing access to different types of quantum systems.   #QuantumComputing #NeutralAtomQubits #GoogleQuantumAI #QuEraComputing #FutureOfTech Rajiv Krishnakumar Dr. Julien Baglio Dr. Frederik Flöther Yelena Guryanova Damir Bogdan Robby Toole Nadine Kugler Janine Goldiger Claudia Fricker Sophie Peggs Gianluca Libera Sonja Andrist Jan Mikolon Maximilian Wurzer Matteo Krummenacher Hans-Jörg Fankhauser

The Superposition GenAI Event brought together experts from IBM, Migros Bank, Lenovo, Bühler, and other companies to discuss how AI and quantum computing are shaping the future. A key insight from IBM's Markus Danhel: Achieving a balance between performance, cost, and trust is crucial for successful AI applications.   💡 5 key takeaways: 1. AI requires a balance between performance, cost, and trust. 2. Quantum computing has the potential to significantly enhance AI. 3. Strong governance is essential for the safe use of AI in business. 4. The debate on AI’s benefits vs. risks continues. 5. Switzerland is emerging as a key player in AI innovation. This event was a collaboration between IBM, Plug and Play Tech Center and QuantumBasel. #QuantumComputing #Innovation #Switzerland Hashtag#Technology #DataSecurity Markus Danhel Philipp Spaeti Christophe Makni Georg M.

Ethics as a key to the future of Quantum and AI Technologies We are please to announce that Dr. Frederik Flöther, one of our Quantum experts, has been instrumental in writing a relevant paper highlighting the importance of ethics in the adoption of quantum computing and AI in organizations. The paper identifies six key reasons why organizations should take the ethical implications of these technologies seriously. One of the key points: Early ethical engagement may not only save costs, but also builds trust in new technologies and protects against long-term risks. The publication also provides concrete recommendations and action to help companies invest responsibly and sustainably in these emerging technologies.

It was an honour to hold the #keynote speech for QuantumBasel about #quantumcomputing and its use cases in front of such an interesting audience at yesterday's ICT Award Night 2024 organised by ICT-Berufsbildung Schweiz They did a fabulous job - the evening was entertaining and fun and we could feel the pride in having so many motivated talents in Switzerland that go the extra mile and invest their time into further eductions in ICT fields. Likewise as in the field of #quantum we are also lacking resources in #ICT - so these are the right steps towards solving the skill gaps we are facing. Great moderation of the evening by Cachita and Knackeboul! I was also very impressed by @edwardbooth and @philippedourassov who won the gold medal at the WorldSkills Lyon 2024 in the category #cybersecurity. Congratulations! Same holds true for all the promising talents who got their diplomas yesterday!

Quantum Computing and AI at the Quantum Industry Day in Switzerland Dr. Frederik Flöther from QuantumBasel gives an insightful presentation on the growing symbiosis between Quantum Computing and AI. Highlighting how these two technologies are working together to solve complex, previously unattainable problems. AI has become a powerful tool for tasks such as data analysis and pattern recognition. Quantum computing has the potential to enhance computationally intensive sub-problems, with relevant quantum algorithms being explored in #optimization, #simulation #machine_learning and #cryptography. Quantum computing is already tested in specialized applications ranging from manufacturing optimization to medical image recognition to financial risk modelling, which are expected to scale as quantum computers rapidly evolve. 👉 What is possible today?  AI is being used to solve practical, large-scale problems across industries, from healthcare diagnostics to automated decision-making. Quantum computing is already showing potential in specialized applications such as molecular modelling and financial modelling. 👉 What will be possible in the future? Combining the power of Quantum Computing with the analytical capabilities of AI will allow us to solve even more complex global challenges, from predicting climate change to drug discovery. As quantum computing continues to evolve, we will see that the symbiosis between AI and Quantum Computing opens a new world of possibilities, and QuantumBasel is at the heart of this transformation. #QuantumIndustryDay #QuantumTechnology #Networking #Innovation IBM Research I NCCR SPIN: Spin Qubits in Silicon I Euresearch I CSEM I Zurich Instruments I Quantum Center, ETH Zurich I Innosuisse I idquantique europe I Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) Switzerland | EPFL Center for Quantum Science and Engineering (QSE) I Swissmem I Swiss Quantum Initiative Damir Bogdan Hans-Jörg Fankhauser Thomas Staehelin Nadine Kugler Sophie Peggs Yelena Guryanova Dr. Julien Baglio Rajiv Krishnakumar Claudia Fricker Gianluca Libera Robby Toole Sonja Andrist Jan Mikolon Matteo Krummenacher Maximilian Wurzer Janine Goldiger
