As the world increasingly relies on computing power, a new frontier has emerged in the form of quantum computing. This revolutionary technology promises to solve complex problems currently unsolvable by even the most advanced classical computers. But amidst the hype and excitement, a growing concern is beginning to surface: is quantum computing in a bubble?

Are We Experiencing A Quantum Computing Bubble?

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7, 2024 — Terra Quantum, a leading quantum computing company, has announced a new initiative to study the feasibility of developing a quantum-resistant network for the U.S. Department of the Air Force (DAF). Leveraging advanced post-quantum and quantum cryptography will make unauthorized interception of transmitted data physically impossible.

DevOps is a time-tested paradigm for efficient software development and infrastructure management. However, the exponential growth of AI and hybrid cloud architectures introduces pressures that require DevOps practitioners to rethink the environments in which they work. As today’s IT environments grow increasingly complex with data and volume, DevOps teams often find themselves struggling to cope with incident noise, tool sprawl and talent shortages. But hope is not lost, by harnessing the power of AI with the right ITOps solution, DevOps teams can achieve a more intelligent and automated approach to IT operations.

Empowering Efficient DevOps with AI + Automation

Quantum computing is rapidly progressing and poised to revolutionize many aspects of modern technology. By harnessing the unique properties of quantum mechanics, quantum computers have the potential to solve complex problems that are currently beyond the capabilities of classical computers. Let’s explore the advancements in quantum computing, its potential applications, and how it could transform fields like cryptography, optimization, and artificial intelligence (AI).

The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) awarded BAE systems a $48 million contract to further develop an analytics system used by military intelligence analysts. The contract announced on Aug. 6 will “mature components” and add new features to Insight, an intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) system currently used by AFRL. Insight uses advanced data processing, analytics, and automation to improve military intelligence and “close capability gaps.”

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.

Aug. 7, 2024 — Using U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) ACCESS allocations on Expanse at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at UC San Diego, Michigan State University (MSU) researchers recently developed a new model to study flexible protein structures, known as intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). The new model might help researchers determine the three-dimensional structure of IDPs for clues about their functionality.

Researchers led by Dr. Olga Kocharovskaya, a distinguished professor at Texas A&M University, have successfully demonstrated a novel way to store and release X-ray pulses at the single photon level, achieving quantum memory in the notoriously difficult hard X-ray range. This breakthrough was made possible by using Doppler-shifted nuclear resonant absorbers to form a nuclear frequency comb. The team’s findings, published in Science Advances, open up new possibilities for future X-ray quantum technologies.

(Nanowerk News) Gold does not readily lend itself to being turned into long, thin threads. But researchers at Linköping University in Sweden have now managed to create gold nanowires and develop soft electrodes that can be connected to the nervous system. The electrodes are soft as nerves, stretchable and electrically conductive, and are projected to last for a long time in the body.
