EuroCIS - The Leading Trade Fair for Retail Technology’s Post

It's a wrap from #EuroCIS2024, but don't worry if you missed it you can check out the highlights here #beyondordinary #retailinnovation #retailsolutions #retail

Well, the summer is effectively over. Time to get into the swing of the fall, a return from vacation and fun. It's time to get serious again about real work. I'm not a summer person, so I spent more time indoors and much more time than I expected keeping up with current events, geopolitical affairs, election-year politics here in the U.S., and on the technical front, keeping up with AI and quantum computing. I spent a lot more time scanning papers and reading and posting my own LinkedIn posts than I expected or planned to, but a lot of that was because I was avoiding the heat, humidity, and crowds of being outside in the summer. But with summer behind me, now I want to refocus on continuing to wind down my technical efforts, particularly for AI and quantum computing. So, going forward into the fall and winter, my intention is to further pull back in my online technical engagement. My overall technical goal now is "wait and see" - wait for the technology to catch up with my own expectations for what the technology should and can do. I don't have any specific goals or metrics for the coming months, but some general guidelines for what can catch my attention: 1. Real progress, not just relatively small incremental advances. Something, anything that shows that we really are getting close to practical quantum computing, not just endless advances that still leave us far short of truly useful quantum computers. 2. Some significant jump in qubit and gate fidelity. Something at least modestly above three nines, for starters. 3. Full qubit connectivity for transmon qubits. No excuse for this deficiency at this stage. 4. 48 qubits for non-transmon qubits - and above three nines of qubit and gate fidelity. 5. A range of 40-qubit algorithms for analytical computation, as opposed to analog-style Hamiltonian evolution or other forms of non-analytical simulation. 6. Reasonably high coherence times and short gate execution times to support circuits with 1,500 to 2,500 gates. Enough to enable non-trivial quantum Fourier transforms and quantum phase estimation. 7. High fidelity quantum Fourier transforms for at least 20 bits, maybe 22 bits. Reasonably high-precision quantum phase estimation for that many bits. People finally starting to use quantum phase estimation. 8. Silicon spin qubits or Fluxonium qubits being competitive with transmon and trapped-ion qubits. 9. New and novel qubit technologies. Something along those lines could capture my attention. Anything less... not so much. Error correction? Not interested - it's just a distraction at this stage. Higher physical qubit and gate fidelity is what interests me most. Tools and infrastructure? Again, not particularly interested - I think we're already over-tooled. What we need now is better hardware, not more tools. So, my wait begins.

#mwc24 Day 3 Award Day. #ZTE "5G Fully Connected Smart Steel Factory" won the #glomoawards "Best Mobile Innovation for Connected Economy "Award 2024. WISCO case is a great case to show how to use 5G as a Service to make a sustainable transforming on the traditional industry. #5GaaS ZTE and China Unicom join forces to drive the transformation of WISCO（Wuhan Iron and Steel Corporation）into a #5G fully connected smart steel factory. The factory has deployed 85 5G base stations, over 100 micro stations and connected 2,000+ industrial terminals, achieving an impressive 99% #5Gcoverage within the industrial park. The results of this 5G-based #digitaltransformation are phenomenal: a 19% increase in efficiency, a 23% reduction in labor cost, a 10% reduction in energy consumption, and a reduction of 750,000 tons of #carbonemissions annually.

Hey are you at GSX? Do you have questions around identity management? Visitor management? Integration? Access Control? Well come see us at our booth and we can help you realize how AMAG Technology can help you find the solutions to your operations/security issues! See you soon!! Remember Booth #2001 #AMAGTECHNOLOGY #accesscontrol #visitormanagement #identitymanagement

In March, we presented our SimVSM solution for the digitalization and simulation of value streams at both the LATC in Mannheim and the LogiMAT-Messe in Stuttgart. The success of both trade fairs can be seen not only in the many technical discussions at our booth but also in the AppStore download figures, which were 75% higher in March than in previous months.  Not yet part of the SimVSM family? Then simply go to the Appstore and download the free SimVSM version to get a first impression of the features and capabilities.  If you are interested in more detailed information, simply comment below this post.  #simvsm #valuestreamsimulation #simulation #simplan #LATC2024 #logimat
