The Lockheed Martin In Grand Paris Quantum Computing

The Lockheed Martin In Grand Paris Quantum Computing 
The defense contractor Lockheed Martin Corp. are betting big on the promise of quantum computing.
The company recently spent a lot of money to the Canadian firm D-Wave to the first commercial quantum computer.

D-Wave, said quantum computers can be used to solve difficult problems, which usually takes too long, even for supercomputers. Some examples: the financial risk analysis, object recognition in images, computer vision, and bioinformatics - the types of analytical thinking that people are good, but computers have a difficult time.

The brand new D-Wave One was sold to Lockheed Martin has a team of researchers who will work closely with the company in coming years to maximize the system. Companies have been silent on the purchase price.

Not everyone is a believer in technology.

It is difficult to prove that quantum computing itself takes place. But D-Wave claims to have created the "quantum annealing" in its material, as reported in the scientific journal Nature. However, some researchers are still skeptical about D-Wave claims.

D-Wave is a processor built Rainier. Go locker room with a footprint size of 100 square meters, has a large security work requires a quantum computer hardware and supercooling.

D-Wave is no stranger to technology.

He recently worked with Google to produce software that can recognize the cars in the pictures. D-Wave computer actually created algorithms that are used on mobile phones for this purpose.

D-Wave One includes an application programming interface (API) that can be used for calculations easily feed the beast by using popular programming languages ​​such as C + + and Java.

quantum computing is not expected to get the rest of us in the near future, but if history is any guide, there is no doubt technology will be used in the future.

For more information about quantum computing in the D-Wave Chief Technology Officer Geordie Rose on Google Talk. Google engineer and a renowned researcher of neurobiology computational Hartmut Neven is also given a lecture on the same topic.
