Quantum Computing​

Quantum Mechanics as a branch of physics began with a set of scientific discoveries in the late 19th Century and has been in active development ever since. Most people will point to the 1980s as the start of physicists actively looking at computing with quantum systems.

1982: History of quantum computing starts with Richard Feynman lectures on the potential advantages of computing with quantum systems.

1985: David Deutsch publishes the idea of a “universal quantum computer”

1994: Peter Shor presents an algorithm that can efficiently find the factors of large numbers, significantly outperforming the best classical algorithm and theoretically putting the underpinning of modern encryption at risk (referred to now as Shor’s algorithm).

1996: Lov Grover presents an algorithm for quantum computers that would be more efficient for searching databases (referred to now as Grove’s search algorithm)

1996: Seth Lloyd proposes a quantum algorithm which can simulate quantum-mechanical systems

1999: D-Wave Systems founded by Geordie Rose

2000: Eddie Farhi at MIT develops idea for adiabatic quantum computing

2001: IBM and Stanford University publish the first implementation of Shor’s algorithm, factoring 15 into its prime factors on a 7-qubit processor.

2010: D-Wave One: first commercial quantum computer released (annealer)

2016: IBM makes quantum computing available on IBM Cloud

2019: Google claims the achievement of quantum supremacy. Quantum Supremacy was termed by John Preskill in 2012 to describe when quantum systems could perform tasks surpassing those in the classical world.



China only copies and recieves tech transfers the so called innovations are most of the time reshuffle tech transfers and a lot of plagiarism and fake research


A 21-year-old Mexican faces another tedious day of confinement in his apartment in Riverside, California, waiting to obtain a Green Card, the residency card that will allow him to study, look for work or obtain a driver’s license in the United States.
Fast forward to today, and Mr Munoz, now 28, is the co-founder of the largest US-owned manufacturer of commercial drones.

The business, 3D Robotics, is expected to enjoy sales of $50m (£33m) this year.
