Elon Musk launched an XPRIZE for Quantum Applications! It’s a 3-year, 5 million dollar global contest that’s looking for ways to use quantum computers to solve real-world challenges that benefit society. Doesn't this basically mean quantum computers don’t currently have any good use cases? And what do you need to do to win? Let’s have a look.

  • The most annoying aspect of following technological research news is that every new discovery is greeted with rosy predictions of potential use cases. In the majority of cases, they are either technically infeasible or have no potential for cost effectiveness. The more money someone needs to develop a technology, the less practical the imagined use cases. I've long been skeptical of quantum computing, and I hope this contest will illuminate, rather than obfuscate. The applications should be both practical and cost effective, and capable of actual demonstration, as opposed to theoretical.

  • It's understandable to be pessimistic about the result of a project while remaining skeptical, rather than cynical, about the intents and motivations that went into the design. By skeptical here I mean "in proportion to the evidence" which also applies well when little evidence is available. When it comes to Elon, his interactions with World Food Program and MacKenzie Scott give me the sense that he is pessimistic about the "get your hands dirty" method of world improvement because he is cynical about the motivations of others, and he is naive about the feasibility of tech solutions to modern problems. Very much treating the symptoms, at least from my perspective.

    • He is leading two giant tech companies that are mainly hardware based. I think it is fair to assume he has a good grasp on trade-off and real world solutions. At least way more than any scientist in the quantum computer space would have. Musk spend a lot if his time talking to engineers and not scientist that's probably why he wants quantum tech to move to engineering and not stay forever in labs.

      @Tsagan@TsaganАй бұрын
    • @Tsagan I certainly don't mean to dismiss Musk out of hand, but I do think it worth distinguishing among tech competencies, management competencies, philanthropic competencies, and ethical competencies. Someone could be the best in the world at tech and management, and when those conflict with the other two, might naturally default to those strengths to maximize money gained and tech solutions. If all tech titans behave in such a way, people may end up dependent on tech solutions and fall through the cracks where philanthropy would have provided a solution. "money = value" is a useful myth until too many people believe it.

      @alieninmybeverage@alieninmybeverageАй бұрын
    • @@alieninmybeverage Being dependent on philanthropy is like relying on the lottery for income-it’s hit or miss and doesn’t address the root of the problem. The market, driven by the principle that money equals value, has proven to be the most effective tool for human prosperity. It’s not a myth; it’s the mechanism that has propelled us to unprecedented heights. To profit in the market, you must offer a product that’s worth more to the buyer than the price paid. This isn’t exploitation; it’s the essence of a fair exchange. Good tech solutions are a prime example-they often provide far more value than their cost, benefiting both parties. The market isn’t a zero-sum game.

  • I think the traveling salesperson problem may be a good fit for quantum computing. I think the difficulty for standard computers lies in the fact that there can be multiple routes of equal efficiency and standard computers work in terms of one or the other must be the correct one. It seems that for solutions which have some parts that are non-negotiable and some parts which can be exchanged with no penalty the quantum advantage would be in developing the entire set of changeable solution components using just one cycle to generate multiple possible solution components.

    • So that's to the tune of "Physical" by the late Olivia Newton-John, the granddaughter of Nobel prize physicist Max Born, who came up with the Born Rule of quantum physics? It all comes together. Remember how a regular computer works. You want to add two numbers, but all the computer has are transistors with high or low voltages. So you translate your numbers to binary, 0s and 1s. Then you store them as voltages in a line of transistors. Then your algorithm manipulates those voltages as if they were numbers. You have to know what hardware the computer has. If it has logic gates then you XOR two voltages to add bits, and you AND two voltages to decide if there is a carry bit. In the end you read out a string of voltages as binary, and convert that back to your total number. Of course, this is all built into computers now. Quantum computers are even more complicated. I don't understand any quantum algorithms. But you have a system you want to manipulate. All the computer has are quantum spins, and ways to work on those spins. It is your algorithm, so you encode your data as spins, or superpositions. Maybe entangle some of the spins. A spin might be pointed in some x,y,z direction on a Bloch sphere. You might rotate the imaginary sphere so that z now points to x. Then rotate y around the z-axis 180 degrees to the -y direction. And so on. But this is quantum mechanics, so each spin has a probability of pointing in each direction. You read out its value in the z direction, or whatever you are interested in. Then you do the entire thing over and over to get the actual percentage in the z direction of each qbit. Then you translate that out as the answer to your problem. You cannot store qbits for long, you have to read them out.

  • There was a time when computationally, SMP wasn't well understood and didn't scale well at all. In fact, the flux between processors hardware tailored to their tasks (problem sets) and large arrays of generic processing elements continues. But SMP is now more efficiently used to mimic vector or grid via plain "heap"-style processing. For a while, processors kept getting faster, putting off the need for SMP. But now most PCs are multi-core and multi-thread, so consumer OS's must adapt and continue doing so. Quantum may play out similarly but over a much longer timescale because SMP will scale with increased efficiency in resource allocation and power dissipation. We will need to know how to use quantum if or when that time comes, and the algorithms can be developed before the hardware.

  • Quantum computing research is one of those areas where it will likely require applications to be found post-innovation, in many cases. For instance, there will likely need to be materials created to support a working quantum computer. Those materials may be of benefit in other applications, as was the case with other material inventions, like Duct Tape or even the pen. I know there has been some promise in its application to PNT sensors. If those mature into a usable product, I can see that being used for humanitarian efforts, for instance. If it ever does get to a point where it can do computing at a large scale, the medical industry would likely be able to leverage that greatly. I can understand being skeptical of those that over-promise results before a product are available for testing. But this is an area of research that makes sense to pour money into because the potential benefits are huge. It is worth taking a chance with some amount of money to see where it goes.

  • "Quantum computing" is a fancy name for parallel reversible computing with similar enough "time-stamps". In other word, simultaneous computing without hard limits of consecutive ordering. Dyck language is well known everyday example of quantum computing, and formally the reversible and simultaneous (and "non-local") aspects of ontology of equation is based on Dyck-language: =, or just , when we define that >< can be rewritten as =, so we can rewrite the general shape of an equation also as . The chiral mirror-symmetry of geometric reflection is a form of palindromic reversibility, and that's why the Bra-Ket notation is not arbitrary symbolism. As for applications, photosynthesis is based on quantum computing, genuine and actual biological and spiritual quantum computing. Therefore Life on Earth, as we know and participate in this, is based on genuine quantum computing, and it would be very foolish to confuse that with the current fantasies of calling semi-classical numerical and statistical algorithms "quantum computing".
