Quantum Computing: Breaking Through the 49 Qubit Simulation Barrier

“Quantum computing is at the threshold of tackling important problems that cannot be efficiently or practically computed by other, more classical means. Getting past this threshold will require us to build, test and operate reliable quantum computers with 50 or …

IBM and MIT Bet That Materials and Quantum Advances Will Supercharge AI

“new $240 million center at MIT may help advance the field of artificial intelligence by developing novel devices and materials to power the latest machine-learning algorithms. It could, perhaps, also help IBM reclaim its reputation for doing cutting-edge AI. The …

Create a fun, simple IoT accelerometer game

“You can create a fun little game to play with your friends and colleagues. With anyone that has a smartphone you can play a game I call “Harlem Shake.” (Watch us shake it up at a recent DeepLearning meetup.) Playing …

IBM sets new record for magnetic tape storage; makes tape competitive for cloud storage

“IBM Research scientists have achieved a new world record in tape storage – their fifth since 2006. The new record of 201 Gb/in2 (gigabits per square inch) in areal density was achieved on a prototype sputtered magnetic tape developed by …

Thinking Thin Brings New Layering and Thermal Abilities to the Semiconductor Industry

“What would a simple technique to remove thin layers from otherwise thick, rigid semiconductor crystals mean for the semiconductor industry? This concept has been actively explored for years, as integrated circuits made on thin layers hold promise for developments including …

Get started developing IoT solutions by building a simple home automation system

“Build a smart doorbell with a Raspberry Pi, some sensors, a buzzer, Node-RED, and Apple Home Kit. Sometimes the most effective home automation projects are the ones that solve very simple problems. Here’s my simple home automation IoT …

“IBM announced today that it is a pilot partner of BMW CarData. Recently released, BMW CarData will allow up to 8.5 million BMW customers globally to make use of third party services in a secure and transparent way. BMW …

IBM Research Alliance Builds New Transistor for 5nm Technology

“IBM, its Research Alliance partners GLOBALFOUNDRIES and Samsung, and equipment suppliers have developed an industry-first process to build silicon nanosheet transistors that will enable 5 nanometer (nm) chips. The details of the process will be presented at the 2017 Symposia …

IBM Builds Its Most Powerful Universal Quantum Computing Processors

“IBM Doubles Compute Power for IBM Q Commercial Systems with New Processor Developers, Researchers and Programmers Execute more than 300,000 Quantum Experiments on IBM Cloud IBM (NYSE: IBM) announced today it has successfully built and tested its most powerful …

Five Ways Quantum Computing Will Change the Way We Think About Computing

“While technologies that currently run on classical computers, such as Watson, can help find patterns and insights buried in vast amounts of existing data, quantum computers will deliver solutions to important problems where patterns cannot be seen because the data …
