How Quantum Could Break Through Amdahl’s Law and Computing’s Limits
Amdahl’s Law teaches us a humbling lesson about the limits of classical computing: there is always a portion that resists parallel speedup, chaining us to diminishing returns. We’ve coped by clever engineering – making that chain as short as possible – but not broken it. Quantum computing offers a bolt…

The Race Toward FTQC: Ocelot, Majorana, Willow, Heron, Zuchongzhi
Quantum computing is entering a new phase marked by five major announcements from five quantum powerhouses—Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, Google, IBM, and Zuchongzhi—all in the last 4 months. Are these just hype-fueled announcements, or do they mark real progress toward useful, large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computing—and perhaps signal an accelerated timeline…

Quantum Computing Benchmarks: RCS, QV, AQ, and More
As quantum computing hardware rapidly improves, simple metrics like qubit count are no longer sufficient to gauge a system’s true capability. Unlike classical computers where transistor counts roughly correlate with performance, quantum bits (qubits) can be error-prone and short-lived, so a few high-fidelity qubits can be more valuable than many…

Adiabatic Quantum (AQC) and Cyber (2024 Update)
Adiabatic Quantum Computing (AQC) is an alternative paradigm that uses an analog process based on the quantum adiabatic theorem. Instead of discrete gate operations, AQC involves slowly evolving a quantum system’s Hamiltonian such that it remains in its lowest-energy (ground) state, effectively “computing” the solution as the system’s final state.…
