A system on a chip or system-on-chip (SoC /?'?so?si?/; pl. SoCs /?'?so?si?z/) is an integrated circuit that integrates most or all components of a computer or other electronic system. These components almost always include on-chip central processing unit (CPU), memory interfaces, input/output devices, input/output interfaces, and secondary storage interfaces, often alongside other components such as radio modems and a graphics processing unit (GPU) – all on a single substrate or microchip.[1] SoCs may contain digital, and also analog, mixed-signal, and often radio frequency signal processing functions (otherwise it may be considered on a discrete application processor).


Apple M1 system on a chip

A system on a chip from Broadcom in a Raspberry Pi
Higher-performance SoCs are often paired with dedicated and physically separate memory and secondary storage (such as LPDDR and eUFS or eMMC, respectively) chips, that may be layered on top of the SoC in what's known as a package on package (PoP) configuration, or be placed close to the SoC. Additionally, SoCs may use separate wireless modems.[2]

SoCs are in contrast to the common traditional motherboard-based PC architecture, which separates components based on function and connects them through a central interfacing circuit board.[nb 1] Whereas a motherboard houses and connects detachable or replaceable components, SoCs integrate all of these components into a single integrated circuit. An SoC will typically integrate a CPU, graphics and memory interfaces,[nb 2] secondary storage and USB connectivity,[nb 3] I/O interfaces on a single chip, whereas a motherboard would connect these modules as discrete components or expansion cards.

An SoC integrates a microcontroller, microprocessor or perhaps several processor cores with peripherals like a GPU, Wi-Fi and cellular network radio modems, and/or one or more coprocessors. Similar to how a microcontroller integrates a microprocessor with peripheral circuits and memory, an SoC can be seen as integrating a microcontroller with even more advanced peripherals. For an overview of integrating system components, see system integration.

Compared to a multi-chip architecture, an SoC with equivalent functionality will have increased performance and reduced power consumption as well as a smaller semiconductor die area. This comes at the cost of reduced replaceability of components. By definition, SoC designs are fully or nearly fully integrated across different component modules. For these reasons, there has been a general trend towards tighter integration of components in the computer hardware industry, in part due to the influence of SoCs and lessons learned from the mobile and embedded computing markets. SoCs can be viewed as part of a larger trend towards embedded computing and hardware acceleration.

SoCs are very common in the mobile computing (such as in smartphones and tablet computers) and edge computing markets.[3][4] They are also commonly used in embedded systems such as WiFi routers and the Internet of things.

IBM has built the largest quantum computer yet. Dubbed Osprey, it has 433 qubits, or quantum bits, which is more than triple the size of the company’s previously record-breaking 127-qubit computer and more than eight times larger than Google’s 53-qubit computer Sycamore.

Though quantum computers hold the promise of eventually solving problems that conventional computers could never tackle, there is no consensus on the best way to make one. IBM and Google base their qubits on circuits made from superconductors that conduct electricity perfectly. Others …

The superconducting tunnel junction (STJ) — also known as a superconductor–insulator–superconductor tunnel junction (SIS) — is an electronic device consisting of two superconductors separated by a very thin layer of insulating material. Current passes through the junction via the process of quantum tunneling. The STJ is a type of Josephson junction, though not all the properties of the STJ are described by the Josephson effect.

These devices have a wide range of applications, including high-sensitivity detectors of electromagnetic radiation, magnetometers, high speed digital circuit elements, and quantum computing circuits.

“Through 2025, at least 70% of organizations will deploy specialized runtime protection only for the public-facing APIs they produce, leaving other APIs unmonitored and lacking API protection.”

Gartner, Inc., Innovation Insight for API Protection, 2022, Dionisio Zumerle, Jeremy D'Hoinne, Mark O'Neill, 10 October 2022
Secure your APIs against application attacks.

Protect websites as well as mobile and IoT application APIs from the growing threat of attacks and data breaches that cause much more havoc than traditional web application attacks. Whether it is XML, JSON, or GraphQL based APIs, your are fully protected against API attacks.

Use Machine Learning-Powered API discovery to discover shadow APIs.

Shadow and zombie APIs are a major cause of API-related data breaches. Our Machine Learning-powered API discovery identifies unprotected API endpoints using live traffic and automatically enables security, thereby greatly reducing the risk of data breaches.

Stop bot and DDoS attacks, and improve API performance.

Barracuda Advanced Bot Protection uses proven ML models to block automated bot attacks including account takeover attacks. Unlimited full-spectrum DDoS prevention stops volumetric and application DDoS attacks from overwhelming your APIs.
Continuous API discovery to secure your growing applications
Continuous API discovery to secure your growing applications.

APIs are under constant development and most modern web applications are backed by APIs. However, these APIs are very frequently unknown (shadow APIs) and unprotected. Additionally, as API versions change, older endpoints are often left unprotected (zombie APIs.) Barracuda’s Machine Learning-powered API discovery looks at live traffic to your API endpoints to discover these shadow and zombie endpoints. Once discovered, the solution automatically turns on security settings, reducing the attack surface and blocking attacks. The best part? The discovery is always running, ensuring that your applications are continuously protected.


Secure API delivery for your critical applications
Secure API delivery for your critical applications.

A hardened TLS front end provides a secure access layer to your APIs. Content routing allows you to add newer API versions or perform rollouts and testing without needing to configure the entire API setup from scratch. As you add newer APIs, in addition to API discovery, you can also import either updated API contract documents or virtual patches from supported scanners to automatically configure security for your new API endpoints. Add authentication and authorization with OpenID Connect, SAML, JSoN Web Tokens, and other integrations to restrict API access to authorized users.


Shift left without slowing down
Shift left without slowing down.

Barracuda WAF and WAF-as-a-Service are fully configurable using REST APIs and can integrate with various tools throughout the development cycle. You can integrate the security configuration early into the development cycle by using the API specification import and virtual patching — and by the time your API is in production, you have a proven configuration. Use the configuration API to enforce uniform policies and rapidly onboard applications with ease. Content routing and allied features enable you further to deliver different versions of your API for A/B testing, Canary rollouts, etc.

A LAUGHABLE PLACE

Dr. Bem told Cornell News "It violates our notion of how the physical world works. The phenomena of modern quantum physics are just as mind-boggling, but they are so technical that most non-physicists don't know about them."

The Ultimate Guide To Intuition & Meditation

The Monumental Importance of Intuition & "Gut Feel"

Intuition. Steve Jobs said it's "more powerful than intellect." It powers every market decision Warren Buffett makes. Richard Branson prefers it to stats and data. Albert Einstein called it the "only real valuable thing."

Why the secret to success is intuition and gut feel
While most of us think a "big ol' brain" (hard work is assumed) is the key to making it in this world, successful people believe otherwise. In a study where thirty-six major CEOs were asked to name their decision making's most critical component, 85% responded with "intuition" or "gut feel."

Whether we are mulling a career change, sensing our first date's compatibility, or feeling (for no reason at all) that we should wait an extra few seconds at the stoplight (as we watch a car barrel through the intersection) — we have all been magnetically guided by our magnificent inner compass.

While we are generally taught to throw our "spidey-senses" to the wind, those of us who learn to harness this all-knowing "inner-GPS" can, with pinpoint precision, use it to navigate the great ocean of life, finding success at every turn.

Intuition Is Most Definitely Real

Why following your gut instincts can make you successful
Is intuition a "real" thing? While a potential human "sixth sense" is not something most scientists want to touch with a fifty-foot pole (anything resembling "woo woo" is generally an academic research "no no"), perhaps the best proof for intuition comes from the work of Cornell University's physicist turned psychologist, Dr. Daryl Bem.

You know how, in the opening scene of the original Ghostbusters movie, Dr. Venkman (as played by Bill Murray) tested the participants' ability to "sense" which card was in his hand, whether a circle, star, square, or else? Minus the electrical shocks (of course), Dr. Bem's studies were a bit like that.

In his 1,000 participant, decade-long series of experiments, Dr. Bem showed that humans do indeed have the ability to "sense" (NOT predict) the future. So, how strong are his findings? Because of the paradigm shifting implications, he waited until his intuition studies had reached a "74 billion to 1" (!) statistical certainty before releasing the results. Yeah, he's pretty sure.

Dr. Bem told Cornell News "It violates our notion of how the physical world works. The phenomena of modern quantum physics are just as mind-boggling, but they are so technical that most non-physicists don't know about them."

How to develop your intuition to make great decisions
While we not dare tackle how or why humans can feel something before it happens (though theoretical physics's Multiverse Theory & Quantum Entanglement give us clues), it appears that the human "spidey sense" is alive and real. And that, people with a stronger antenna may naturally be great decision makers.

The Brain's "Axis of Intuition"

How to become more intuitive and why that leads to success
So, where does intuition live in the brain? According to a team of University of Iowa researchers, the brain's so called "axis of intuition" is the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC). The pop culture depiction of the vmPFC's location is surprisingly accurate.

In the X-Men comic books and movies, how did Professor X summon his psychic powers? He would put his fingers on his temples, close his eyes, and then, from the middle of his forehead, energy waves would beam in all directions. The vmPFC axis of intuition is right there, dead center on the forehead. X marks the spot.

Back to the commonly held "high intelligence is the key to success" false belief. Well, studies have shown that people (even with high IQ) with damage to their "intuitive" vmPFC have loads of problems. Like what?

These "broken intuition" folks often make poor decisions on repeat (e.g. often have bad habits, are bad with money), are quite gullible and easily deceived (e.g. tricked by advertising, can't detect irony or sarcasm), and don't learn from mistakes. At least not like the rest of us. Most of us went to high school with that super smart kid who, down the road as an adult, can't keep his life together.

How Meditation Cranks Up Intuition

How meditation can help you listen to your gut and find success
"So, if I want to be a super-successful, highly intuitive person, then I need a stronger ventro-whatchamacallit?"

Though your spelling is off a bit, yes. If you want to be more intuitive then upgrading your ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) will do the trick. If only there was a way... Actually, there is!

A 2014 Wake Forest University study (Zeidan et al) looked at the brains of 15 volunteers before and after just four days of mindfulness training. What did they find? In addition to a host of other wonderful brain enhancements, the freshly minted meditators seriously increased their vmPFC's "activity" and "interconnectivity."

For those of us who want to "make decisions with precision," what does this mean?

By hitting the switch on our brain's "axis of intuition," meditation links us directly to our ultra-powerful (yet elusive) sense of "inner-knowing." While the ancient practice may not turn us into an overnight Richard Branson, Marissa Mayer, Oprah Winfrey, or Warren Buffett, meditation most certainly can magnify our "gut feel" for a lifetime of "soothsaying" financial, relationship, health, and career choices. Meditators often find success in everything they do, you can too.

What is intuition, is it real, and how meditation can strengthen it beyond measure
How Meditation Fixes "Broken" Intuition

"It seems that my intuition is great at leading me down the wrong path. If meditation magnifies this (obviously) faulty ability of mine, won't it just steer me off a cliff?"

No. Either your intuition is weak or its signal is clouded. It's not forever broken. Here are the two main reasons for "faulty intuition," and how meditation fixes both:

#1: Intuition Is Never Developed — If you thought your legs weren't real and therefore, didn't trust or believe in them, what would happen? Idle atop your wheelchair, they would quickly dwindle away. Likewise, people who see their intuition as "sorcery" will watch as it shrivels up like a raisin in the sun.

If life were a simple math problem, using your logical / analytical mind all the time would be fine. But it's not. Life often requires finding your way through the dark, figuring out things as you go along. Many decisions need to be made on "gut feel" rather than "this happened to me before so I know what to do now" experience.

How to sharpen your intuitive abilities and gut feel
Thankfully, whether you believe in intuition or not, meditation can change your brain to make better decisions. Then, if you still don't believe in it, you can call it something else. Like "success magic." Because your friends and family will be asking about the wonderful improvements in your life.

Why successful people have highly developed intuition and how you can develop yours
#2: Cloudy, Murky Intuition Signal — If you are depressed, anxious, emotionally blocked, and/or simply not feeling your highest and best, then your conscious mind's voice will be loud and proud. Learning to quiet down this superficial "monkey" mind layer is the key to unlocking your deeper, far more powerful subconscious mind. The home of intuition.

Luckily, once meditation's never-ending benefits begin to snowball — anxiety, depression, and the chattering monkey-mind are the first dysfunctions to get buried. With a quiet conscious mind and easy access to your deep thinking subconscious mind, intuition flows like a river.

Magnify the "whisper of your soul." Guide yourself to an incredible life. Discover meditation.

?How To Meditate

Deep meditation upgrades 9 key brain regions. The result? So many benefits: less stress, more happiness, more success, deeper sleep, easier learning, better memory, higher IQ & EQ, just to name a few. Change your brain, change your life.

Your subconscious & unconscious mind are incredibly powerful. Here we show you the vast benefits waiting under the surface, and how meditation is the best way to dive in, explore, and harness your deep mind. See detailed chart.

Meditation balances your left & right brain hemispheres, resulting in what's called "whole brain synchronization." This opens the door to many amazing benefits: faster & easier learning, excellent mental health, super creativity, & more.

Not only do meditators often look decades younger than their actual age, but they also live much longer lives. Here, we take a look at the most fascinating age defying studies making news headlines, and how meditation freezes father time.

With monumental health implications, meditation has been proven to naturally boost many highly beneficial brain chemicals while lowering those that are harmful. The benefits are staggering.

Scientists now say that our deeply intertwined "first" real brain & "second" gut brain are actually one system, not two. Here's how meditation's incredible brain benefits can transform your microbiome — and ultimately, your health.

Why are meditators so often slim & trim? It's because the weight loss benefits of meditation are nothing short of incredible. Here, from a variety of angles, we discuss how meditation can propel anyone to their ideal body.

Powerful CEOs, famous Hollywood actors, bestselling authors, well-known media personalities, top military rank, high level creatives, professional athletes, and even billionaires say meditation is the secret to their success.

The world's most successful people often say that "intuition" is far more powerful than intellect and their #1 decision-making tool. Here's how meditation magnifies this mega-important sixth sense.

Why is meditation such a powerful anxiety reliever? From boosting brain chemicals, to quieting mind chatter, to cooling the amygdala, this in-depth article discusses why anxiety is no match against meditation.

Dominating headlines with her viral 14+ million view TED Talk and bestselling book, a world famous psychologist makes the compelling case for "mental toughness" as successful people's real superpower. Get "Gritty" with meditation.

If a "world's happiest people" competition were held, meditators would walk away with the trophy. From tapping into an everyday state of "flow" to harnessing the power of "now," here we discuss why meditation & happiness are one.

Other than hibernating bears, meditators are the world's best sleepers. Here's how meditation conquers sleep problems, dominates sleep disorders, while helping people with even the worst cases of insomnia sleep like a log.

Did you know that your brain power, intelligence, & memory can be dramatically upgraded? Here, we discuss why scientists keep studying the marvelous meditating brain, and how you too can tap these awesome benefits.

The world needs creativity. Books don't author themselves. Inventions don't invent themselves. Technology doesn't innovate itself. Luckily, we are creative by nature. It's in our genes. It's in our brains. Awaken yours with meditation.

Through a process called "Neurogenesis," scientists have discovered that our brain's "neuron count" is not set for life. Meditation's well-proven ability to generate a "neuron fortune" has massive implications & big benefits.

Without the willpower to put in the hard yards today, the dream of a better tomorrow will always be just that. A dream. Luckily, willpower is never set in stone. All the great ones had it, you can too. Become "willpowerful" with meditation.

Your body is a "community" of 50 trillion living cells. When your cells are in harmony, you're healthy. In disharmony, disease can manifest. Here's how meditation heals at the molecular level, while helping to create a "cellular utopia."

History is full of people who, in the face of failure, diversion, & distraction, stayed the course anyway, achieving their dreams regardless of what's in their path. Here's how meditation can make us highly focused & motivated.

To prosper in a changing world, we need to "be water" in every situation. People with high fluid IQ adapt well to change, are highly resourceful, see patterns & relationships, & solve problems creatively. Fill-up your fluid IQ with meditation.

Scientists love studying meditators' magnificent, "depression-free" brains. From transforming psychology, to rewiring thought, to massively upgrading physiology, here we discuss why meditation dominates depression.

When it comes to understanding what the human body can & can't do, change is underway. From extending life, to conquering unconquerable diseases, to rewriting genetic code, meditation's latest scientific findings are incredible.

Want to rejuvenate and restore your skin to pristine perfection? Of course, we all do! Look no further than meditation. With such overwhelming age-defying scientific evidence, it's easy to see why meditators so often look decades younger.

Unbreakable Correlation

When researchers study entanglement, they often use a special kind of crystal to generate two entangled particles from one. The entangled particles are then sent off to different locations. For this example, let's say the researchers want to measure the direction the particles are spinning, which can be either up or down along a given axis. Before the particles are measured, each will be in a state of superposition, or both "spin up" and "spin down" at the same time.

If the researcher measures the direction of one particle's spin and then repeats the measurement on its distant, entangled partner, that researcher will always find that the pair are correlated: if one particle's spin is up, the other's will be down (the spins may instead both be up or both be down, depending on how the experiment is designed, but there will always be a correlation). Returning to our dancer metaphor, this would be like observing one dancer and finding them in a pirouette, and then automatically knowing the other dancer must also be performing a pirouette. The beauty of entanglement is that just knowing the state of one particle automatically tells you something about its companion, even when they are far apart.

Are particles really connected across space?

But are the particles really somehow tethered to each other across space, or is something else going on? Some scientists, including Albert Einstein in the 1930s, pointed out that the entangled particles might have always been spin up or spin down, but that this information was hidden from us until the measurements were made. Such "local hidden variable theories" argued against the mind-boggling aspect of entanglement, instead proposing that something more mundane, yet unseen, is going on.

Thanks to theoretical work by John Stewart Bell in the 1960s, and experimental work done by Caltech alumnus John Clauser (BS '64) and others beginning in the 1970s, scientists have ruled out these local hidden-variable theories. A key to the researchers' success involved observing entangled particles from different angles. In the experiment mentioned above, this means that a researcher would measure their first particle as spin up, but then use a different viewing angle (or a different spin axis direction) to measure the second particle. Rather than the two particles matching up as before, the second particle would have gone back into a state of superposition and, once observed, could be either spin up or down. The choice of the viewing angle changed the outcome of the experiment, which means that there cannot be any hidden information buried inside a particle that determines its spin before it is observed. The dance of entanglement materializes not from any one particle but from the connections between them.

Relativity Remains Intact

A common misconception about entanglement is that the particles are communicating with each other faster than the speed of light, which would go against Einstein's special theory of relativity. Experiments have shown that this is not true, nor can quantum physics be used to send faster-than-light communications. Though scientists still debate how the seemingly bizarre phenomenon of entanglement arises, they know it is a real principle that passes test after test. In fact, while Einstein famously described entanglement as "spooky action at a distance," today's quantum scientists say there is nothing spooky about it.

"It may be tempting to think that the particles are somehow communicating with each other across these great distances, but that is not the case," says Thomas Vidick, a professor of computing and mathematical sciences at Caltech. "There can be correlation without communication," and the particles "can be thought of as one object."

Let's say you have two entangled balls, each in its own box. Each ball is in a state of superposition, or both yellow and red at the same time.
...until you observe the balls. If the first one is yellow, the other will be yellow. If the first one is red, the other will be red. The objects remain connected even over vast distances. Scientists think of entangled objects as really being a single object.
But what if one observer decides to look at their ball from a different angle or side of the box? The balls would revert back to a state of superposition and have a 50% chance of being yellow and 50% chance of being red.
The viewer might find a yellow ball now, even though the pair of balls had previously both been red!
Now, if the second observer also looks at their ball from the side view, it will match what the first observer saw. The ball sare still entangled, but what the viewer sees depends on how they look at the ball. This is because the entangled information about color does not lie within any one ball but exists in the connection between the balls.

Networks of Entanglement

Entanglement can also occur among hundreds, millions, and even more particles. The phenomenon is thought to take place throughout nature, among the atoms and molecules in living species and within metals and other materials. When hundreds of particles become entangled, they still act as one unified object. Like a flock of birds, the particles become a whole entity unto itself without being in direct contact with one another. Caltech scientists focus on the study of these so-called many-body entangled systems, both to understand the fundamental physics and to create and develop new quantum technologies. As John Preskill, Caltech's Richard P. Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics, Allen V. C. Davis and Lenabelle Davis Leadership Chair, and director of the Institute for Quantum Information and Matter, says, "We are making investments in and betting on entanglement being one of the most important themes of 21st-century science."

NVIDIA’s Quantum Computing Technology: An Overview [2023]
Insights
James Dargan
April 28, 2023

From specialized hardware to software simulations, Nvidia is working hard to make quantum computing accessible to everyone. Through their efforts, they hope to transform how people think about and use computers for complex tasks. In this article, we’ll take a look at Nvidia’s quantum computing efforts and how they are paving the way for an exciting future.

How Nvidia Started With Quantum Computing?

NVIDIA is a leading technology company that specializes in designing and manufacturing high-performance computing hardware, software, and AI solutions. The company was founded in 1993 by Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem and is widely known for its graphics processing units (GPUs), which are used in a variety of applications, including gaming, data centres, and scientific research. In recent years, NVIDIA has been exploring the field of quantum computing

Nvidia introduced a quantum circuit simulation SDK called cuQuantum in 2021. cuQuantum has been designed to speed up all circuit simulation frameworks and is integrated into Cirq, Qiskit Pennylane, Orquestra and others.

It is reported by the company that it is possible to simulate ideal or noisy qubits using cuQuantum with a scale and performance that is not possible with current quantum hardware.

Some of the world’s largest companies such as Google Quantum AI and IBM and national labs with names like Oak Ridge, Argonne, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory utilize CuQuantum in the quantum ecosystem, as well as academic institutions, quantum startups, and supercomputing centres, too.

NVIDIA’s Quantum Computing Technology

Announced in March 2023, NVIDIA DGX Quantum is the first GPU-accelerated quantum computing system in the world. Powered by the NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchip and the open-source CUDA Quantum programming model, NVIDIA DGX Quantum combines a powerful accelerated computing platform with Quantum Machines’ OPX quantum control platform.

Using this combination, researchers can build applications that integrate quantum computing with classical computing, which allows for calibration, control, quantum error correction, and hybrid algorithms.

In essence, DGX Quantum features an NVIDIA Grace Hopper GPU connected to a Quantum Machines OPX+ via PCIe, offering sub-microsecond latency between GPUs and QPUs.This technology enables researchers to develop extremely powerful applications that combine quantum computing with classical computing, enabling calibration, control, quantum error correction, and hybrid algorithms.

A union of a high-performance GPU from NVIDIA and the company’s own Grace CPU enables Grace Hopper to power giant AI and HPC workloads at scale. For applications running terabytes of data, the company states it offers up to 10x greater performance, giving quantum-classical researchers the power to solve their complex problems like never before.

NVIDIA Quantum Optimized Device Architecture (QODA) Platform (CUDA as of 2023)

In 2022 NVIDIA released QODA (now the CUDA platform), designed as a hybrid quantum-classical programming model that makes quantum computing more accessible. In addition to improving scientific productivity and facilitating greater scale in quantum research, QODA is an open and combined environment for some of today’s most powerful computers and quantum processors.

With the help of NVIDIA DGX systems and a large installed base of NVIDIA GPUs available in scientific supercomputing centres and public clouds, experts in HPC and AI can integrate quantum computing easily into existing applications, taking advantage of both current quantum processors and simulations of future quantum machines.

Does NVIDIA Have Quantum Computing Patents?

As you can see from above, NVIDIA DGX Quantum is the first GPU-accelerated quantum computing system in the world, so we should presume the company has registered a patent for this technology.

NVIDIA’s Quantum Partners & Competitors

There is a wide range of groups utilizing CuQuantum in the quantum ecosystem, including supercomputing centres, academic groups, quantum startups, and some of the largest companies in the world.

It was announced that NVIDIA has partnered with quantum hardware companies Anyon Systems, Atom Computing, IonQ, ORCA Computing, Oxford Quantum Circuits, and QuEra to integrate CUDA Quantum into their platforms. Quantum software companies include Agnostiq and QMware while there are several supercomputing centres such as the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, the IT Center for Science (CSC) and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) that have partnered with NVIDIA.

Additionally, in 2022 at the Q2B conference in Tokyo, NVIDIA announced QODA collaborations with quantum hardware providers IQM Quantum Computers, Pasqal, Quantinuum, Quantum Brilliance and Xanadu, software provider QC Ware and Zapata Computing, as well as supercomputing centres QC Ware and Zapata Computing.

On the competitor front, multinationals invested in quantum like Microsoft, IBM, Google etc seem to be NVIDIA’s greatest competitors in the field.

In a YouTube video released last year “NVIDIA’s Special Address at Q2B”, Director of HPC & Quantum Product at NVIDIA Tim Costa presented use cases for cuQuantum, which included BMW optimizing robot pathfinding and routing, large consultancy companies Deloitte and SoftServe developing applications in quantum machine learning to solve customer problems in both materials and drug discovery and Fujifilm leveraging quantum to explore tensor network methods for Material Science simulation with 1000s of qubits.

From drug discovery to portfolio optimization, quantum computing has the potential to offer huge leaps in computing power. This, however, will require pushing the boundaries of quantum information science through the development of algorithms, the development of quantum processors, and the creation of systems and tools that integrate quantum-classical components tightly.

Costa believes many scientists are of the attitude that hybrid solutions combining classical computing with quantum computing will lead to scientific breakthroughs and that collaborating with innovative companies like Quantum Brilliance and dozens of others will allow many more developers to access the best tools for both quantum and classical computing?—?tools that NVIDIA currently possess.

The same scenario can be applied to mergers and acquisitions where multiple parties need assurances that each participant will act as required. Many times, these complex deals can take many months or even years to finalize. In those cases, an escrow provider holds cash or other valuable assets securely until the parties make good on their obligations. Some other examples of transactions that commonly utilize escrow include the sales of real estate and intellectual property.

Months or even years? Did Wade make a deal to sell all when someone was through with their research and development and ready to put it all out there for sale ? Hmmm. Or has our new BoD made a deal with a future date hinging on the courts / trials / settlements outcomes? Hmmmmm

New research shows how light propagates in integrated circuits on chips
(a) Schematics of the experimental setup for imaging propagating waves within photonic devices. 1550 nm signal pulses (orange) are grating-coupled into a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguide, while 780 nm pump pulses (red) are focused onto the device using a long-working distance objective. When the two pulses overlap in time and space, a nonlinear wave is generated (green), separated from the pump by a dichroic mirror (DM) and collected by a standard CMOS camera. P, F, and ??/2 represent linear polarizer, spectral filter, and ??/2 wave plate, respectively.

The field of photonic integrated circuits focuses on the miniaturization of photonic elements and their integration in photonic chips—circuits that carry out a range of calculations using photons, rather than electrons as are used in electronic circuits.


Silicon-based photonics is a developing field that is relevant for data centers, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and more. It enables an enormous improvement in the chips' performance, and in their cost-benefit ratio as it is based on the very same prevalent raw material from chips in the world of electronics.

However, despite benefiting from the well-developed lithography production process, which enables precise production of the desired devices, the instruments don't yet enable accurate mapping of the chip's optic characteristics. This includes its internal light motion—a crucial capacity given the difficulty to model the effect of fabrication flaws and inaccuracies—due to the devices' tiny dimensions.

A new article by researchers from Technion's Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering tackles this challenge, showing advanced light imaging in photonic circuits on chips. The research, which was published in the journal Optica, was led by Professor Guy Bartal, head of the Laboratory for Advanced Photonic Research, and doctoral student Matan Iluz, in collaboration with Professor Amir Rosenthal's research group. Graduate students Kobi Cohen, Jacob Kheireddine, Yoav Hazan and Shai Tsesses also took part in the research.

The researchers harnessed the optical characteristics of silicon to map the light's propagation without requiring an invasive action of any sort, which perturbs or alters the chip. This process includes mapping the light waves' electric field and defining the elements that affect the light's movement—waveguides and beam splitters.

The process provides real-time images and video recordings of the light inside the photonic chip, without having to damage the chip and without losing any data. This new process is expected to improve the design, production, and optimization processes of photonic chips in a variety of fields, including telecommunications, high-performance computing, machine learning, measuring distances, medical imaging, sensing, and quantum computing.

At the nanoscale, the laws of classical physics suddenly become inadequate to explain the behavior of matter. It is precisely at this juncture that quantum theory comes into play, effectively describing the physical phenomena characteristic of the atomic and subatomic world. Thanks to the different behavior of matter on these length and energy scales, it is possible to develop new materials, devices and technologies based on quantum effects, which could yield a real quantum revolution that promises to innovate areas such as cryptography, telecommunications and computation.


The physics of very small objects, already at the basis of many technologies that we use today, is intrinsically linked to the world of nanotechnologies, the branch of applied science dealing with the control of matter at the nanometer scale (a nanometer is one billionth of a meter). This control of matter at the nanoscale is at the basis of the development of new electronic devices.

Among these, memristors are considered promising devices for the realization of new computational architectures emulating functions of our brain, allowing the creation of increasingly efficient computation systems suitable for the development of the entire artificial intelligence sector, as recently shown by Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica (INRiM) researchers in collaboration with several international universities and research institutes.

In this context, the EMPIR MEMQuD project, coordinated by INRiM, aims to study the quantum effects in such devices, in which the electronic conduction properties can be manipulated to allow the observation of quantized conductivity phenomena at room temperature. In addition to analyzing the fundamentals and recent developments, the review work "Quantum Conductance in Memristive Devices: Fundamentals, Developments, and Applications" recently published in the journal Advanced Materials, analyzes how these effects can be used for a wide range of applications, from metrology to the development of next-generation memories and artificial intelligence.

Arguably the greatest engineering challenge in quantum computing is addressing these systems’ predilection for errors.
Now, a new study from scientists from Australia and Poland says that creating a kind of quantum circuit board using time crystals could help overcome these challenges by spreading qubits and keeping them in motion.
This idea, known as “time-tronics,” could form the foundation of a more reliable quantum computer.

Quantum computers, by just their name alone, scream “future”—but it’s a future that’s still likely many more decades away. That’s because building one of these machines is a dizzying engineering headache that relies on superconductors, qubits (a quantum bit that’s in superposition so it’s both a “1” and “O”), and lots of other dizzying quantum weirdness. And to make matters worse, those qubits are also prone to errors. Lots and lots of errors.

That’s not necessarily the fault of the quantum computers, but the qubits themselves. Because when qubits interact to run calculations, they inherently degrade themselves, which in turn produces errors.

Now, a new study posted to the preprint server arXiv, by scientists in Australia and Poland, says that using time crystals as a kind of circuit board in next-gen quantum computers could make more reliable systems by “enabling quantum gate operations for all possible pairs of qubits,” according to the authors. Similar to electronics, they coined the term “time-tronics” to explain their new breakthrough.

“The elements of these devices can correspond to structures of dimensions higher than three and can be arbitrarily connected and reconfigured at any moment,” the paper reads. “Our findings indicate that the limitations faced in building devices using conventional spatial crystals can be overcome by adopting crystalline structures in time.”

Could These Crystals Help Us Travel Through Time?
Although it sounds like an unimaginative name for a fantasy film MacGuffin, time crystals are quantum phase of matter that aren’t really crystals—at least not how our three-dimensional minds think of them. While a spatial crystal has an intricate, repeating lattice of atoms, time crystals contain a periodic pattern of motion, which makes them a repeating lattice of time rather than space.

According to New Scientist, this particular composition is what makes time crystals a perfect candidate for a quantum computer circuit board because qubits would be “spread out and always in motion.” This makes interactions among qubits, including connections between distant qubits which is currently impossible in modern quantum computers, relatively easy and produce more reliable results.

Scientists Catch Time Crystals Interacting
“As any connections between sites can be controlled, it is possible to realize a broad class of quantum devices,” the paper reads.

“We demonstrate that a temporal printed circuit board can host qubits, where all single-qubit operations can be realized and a controlled-Z gate can be performed between all possible qubit pairs, meeting the conditions for a universal quantum computer.”
Going forward, the team is focusing on creating time crystals using the Bose-Einstein condensate of Potassium-39, which was chosen for its ability for scientists to accurately tune interactions among atoms precisely. If it works, this breakthrough won’t revolutionize quantum computing overnight, but it could bring the field one big step closer to solving what’s been described as its most “defining challenge.”

Ion-trap measurements of electric-field noise near surfaces
M. Brownnutt, M. Kumph, P. Rabl, R. Blatt
View PDF
Electric-field noise near surfaces is a common problem in diverse areas of physics, and a limiting factor for many precision measurements. There are multiple mechanisms by which such noise is generated, many of which are poorly understood. Laser-cooled, trapped ions provide one of the most sensitive systems to probe electric-field noise at MHz frequencies and over a distance range 30 - 3000 µm from the surface. Over recent years numerous experiments have reported spectral densities of electric-field noise inferred from ion heating-rate measurements and several different theoretical explanations for the observed noise characteristics have been proposed. This paper provides an extensive summary and critical review of electric-field noise measurements in ion traps, and compares these experimental findings with known and conjectured mechanisms for the origin of this noise. This reveals that the presence of multiple noise sources, as well as the different scalings added by geometrical considerations, complicate the interpretation of these results. It is thus the purpose of this review to assess which conclusions can be reasonably drawn from the existing data, and which important questions are still open. In so doing it provides a framework for future investigations of surface-noise processes.

Arbitrary Inference

Arbitrary inference is one of the earliest and broadest cognitive disotortions described in CBT. Beck defines it as "the process of forming an interpretation of a situation, event, or experience when there is no factual evidence to support the conclusion or when the conclusion is contrary to the evidence". The Arbitrary Inference information handout forms part of the cognitive distortions series, designed to help clients and therapists to work more effectively with common thinking biases.

Abstract
The conventional computing architecture faces substantial challenges, including high latency and energy consumption between memory and processing units. In response, in-memory computing has emerged as a promising alternative architecture, enabling computing operations within memory arrays to overcome these limitations. Memristive devices have gained significant attention as key components for in-memory computing due to their high-density arrays, rapid response times, and ability to emulate biological synapses. Among these devices, two-dimensional (2D) material-based memristor and memtransistor arrays have emerged as particularly promising candidates for next-generation in-memory computing, thanks to their exceptional performance driven by the unique properties of 2D materials, such as layered structures, mechanical flexibility, and the capability to form heterojunctions. This review delves into the state-of-the-art research on 2D material-based memristive arrays, encompassing critical aspects such as material selection, device performance metrics, array structures, and potential applications.

Homework
In quantum mechanics, the term "quantum cloud" typically refers to the probabilistic nature of particles, especially electrons, in quantum systems. Instead of having definite locations, particles like electrons exist in regions of probability described by wave functions, often visualized as "clouds." These clouds represent the likelihood of finding a particle in a particular space at any given time.

For example, in the case of an atom, the quantum cloud refers to the area where there is a high probability of locating an electron around the nucleus. This concept replaces the classical view of electrons moving in fixed orbits.

In a broader sense, quantum clouds can also refer to computational or informational resources in quantum computing or quantum networking, where data exists in superposition across distributed quantum systems.

Is there a specific context of "quantum clouds" you're interested in exploring further, such as quantum computing or electron probability clouds?

Homework: Here’s an overview of ISR radar systems—radar technology used for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance missions, particularly from airborne platforms:

?

🛰️ What Is ISR Radar?

ISR radar refers to radar sensors deployed on aircraft, UAVs, helicopters, and sometimes satellites to conduct surveillance, reconnaissance, and real-time intelligence gathering. These systems typically integrate multiple radar modes (SAR, ISAR, MTI/GMTI) and fuse with other sensors like EO/IR and SIGINT to provide comprehensive situational awareness ?.

Key Capabilities:
   •   SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar): Produces high-resolution images regardless of weather or light, essential for ground and maritime mapping.
   •   ISAR (Inverse SAR): Leverages target motion (like a ship’s movement) to generate detailed 2D imagery for classification and identification ?.
   •   MTI/GMTI (Moving Target Indication / Ground MTI): Detects and tracks moving vehicles, vessels, or other targets over large areas ?.

?

📊 Market Overview & Trends
   •   The global airborne ISR market was about $27.7?billion in 2025, projected to grow to approximately $48–68?billion by 2033–2034, driven by rising geopolitical tension, drone operations, and advanced mission requirements ? ? ?.
