Eric Ladizinsky: Evolving Scalable Quantum Computers
Δημοσιεύθηκε στις 9 Απρ 2014
Eric Ladizinsky visited the Quantum
AI Lab at Google LA to give a talk "Evolving Scalable Quantum
Computers." This talk took place on March 5, 2014.
Abstract:
EVOLVING QUANTUM COMPUTERS:
"The
nineteenth century was known as the machine age, the twentieth century
will go down in history as the information age. I believe the
twenty-first century will be the quantum age". Paul Davies
Quantum
computation represents a fundamental paradigm shift in information
processing. By harnessing strange, counterintuitive quantum phenomenon,
quantum computers promise computational capabilities far exceeding any
conceivable classical computing systems for certain applications. These
applications may include the core hard problems in machine learning and
artificial intelligence, complex optimization, and simulation of
molecular dynamics .. the solutions of which could provide huge benefits
to humanity.
Realizing this potential requires a concerted
scientific and technological effort combining multiple disciplines and
institutions ... and rapidly evolving quantum processor designs and
algorithms as learning evolves. D-Wave Systems has built such a
mini-Manhattan project like effort and in just a under a decade, created
the first, special purpose, quantum computers in a scalable
architecture that can begin to address real world problems. D-Wave's
first generation quantum processors (now being explored in conjunction
with Google/NASA as well as Lockheed and USC) are showing encouraging
signs of being at a "tipping point" .. matching state of the art solvers
for some benchmark problems (and sometimes exceeding them) ...
portending the exciting possibility that in a few years D-Wave
processors could exceed the capabilities of any existing classical
computing systems for certain classes of important problems in the areas
of machine learning and optimization.
In this lecture, Eric
Ladizinsky, Co-Founder and Chief Scientist at D-Wave will describe the
basic ideas behind quantum computation , Dwave's unique approach, and
the current status and future development of D-Wave's processors.
Included will be answers to some frequently asked questions about the
D-Wave processors, clarifying some common misconceptions about quantum
mechanics, quantum computing, and D-Wave quantum computers.

Eric
Ladizinsky is a physicist, Co-founder, and Chief Scientist of D-Wave
Systems. Prior to his involvement with D-Wave, Mr. Ladizinsky was a
senior member of the technical staff at TRW's Superconducting
Electronics Organization (SCEO) in which he contributed to building the
world's most advanced Superconducting Integrated Circuit capability
intended to enable superconducting supercomputers to extend Moore's Law
beyond CMOS. In 2000, with the idea of creating a quantum computing mini
-Manhattan-project like effort, he conceived, proposed, won and ran a
multi-million dollar, multi-institutional DARPA program to develop a
prototype quantum computer using (macroscopic quantum) superconducting
circuits. Frustrated with the pace of that effort Mr. Ladizinsky, in
2004, teamed with D-Wave's original founder (Geordie Rose) to transform
the then primarily IP based company to a technology development company
modeled on his mini-Manhattan-project vision. He is also responsible for
designing the superconducting (SC) IC process that underlies the D-Wave
quantum processors ... and transferring that process to state of art
semiconductor production facilities to create the most advanced SC IC
process in the world.
