Our ability to cram ever-smaller transistors onto a chip has enabled today’s age of ubiquitous computing. But that approach is finally running into limits, with some experts declaring an end to Moore’s Law and a related principle, known as Dennard’s Scaling. Those developments couldn’t be coming at a worse time. Demand for computing power has…
A new type of computer is coming — one that can solve problems much faster and much better than today’s models. Quantum computing, powered by quantum mechanics, represents a foundational shift in computing. Read more about the technology behind quantum computers. Eric Ghysels, the Edward Bernstein Distinguished Professor of Economics and Professor of Finance, researches…
SHEFFIELD, England, Feb. 7, 2024 — Aegiq, a Sheffield-headquartered technology start-up, is one of the winners of a £30 million quantum testbed competition funded by the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC), designed to drive innovation in quantum computing and enhance the UK’s capabilities. Aegiq is among the seven companies delivering different types of quantum computers…
Ultrafast computer processing speeds are possible with optical chirality logic gates that operate about a million times faster than existing technologies. Processing devices based on polarized light run one million times faster than current technology. Logic gates are the basic building blocks of computer processors. Conventional logic gates are electronic, working by shuffling around electrons….
PARIS – The quest for enhanced space-based computing and data storage is extending to lunar missions. Skycorp announced plans Sept. 12 to send a commercial solid-state drive from Taiwan-based Phison Electronics Corp. to the moon next year. Ramon.Space unveiled plans Sept. 7 to provide computing technology for a lander being developed for Israel’s Beresheet 2…

The voracious appetite for energy from the world’s computers and communications technology presents a clear threat for the globe’s warming climate. That was the blunt assessment from presenters in the intensive two-day Climate Implications of Computing and Communications workshop held on March 3 and 4, hosted by MIT’s Climate and Sustainability Consortium (MCSC), MIT-IBM Watson…
While quantum computers exist in the lab, general-purpose quantum computers aren’t yet available for commercial use. How can businesses respond to potential disruptions from this technology before it has actually emerged into the mainstream market? One company that has been investing substantially into quantum computing is Infosys, and so the authors reached out to several…
Aimed at driving diversity and inclusion in artificial intelligence, the MIT Stephen A. Schwarzman College of Computing is launching Break Through Tech AI, a new program to bridge the talent gap for women and underrepresented genders in AI positions in industry. Break Through Tech AI will provide skills-based training, industry-relevant portfolios, and mentoring to qualified…
