IBM today announced that it will soon make a 53-qubit quantum computer available to clients of its IBM Q Network. The new system, which is scheduled to go online in the middle of next month, will be the largest universal quantum computer available for external use yet.

The new center, which is essentially a data center for IBM’s quantum machines, will also feature five 20-qubit machines, but that number will grow to 14 within the next month. IBM promises a 95% service availability for its quantum machines.



The New 53-qubit system introduces a number of new techniques that enable the company to launch larger, more reliable systems for cloud deployments. It features more compact custom electronics for improving scaling and lower error rates, as well as a new processor design.

The fact that IBM is now opening this Quantum Computation itself, of course, is a pretty good indication about how serious the company is about its quantum efforts. The company’s quantum program also now supports 80 partnerships with commercial clients, academic institutions and research laboratories. Some of these have started to use the available machines to work on real-world problems, though the current state of the art in quantum computing is still not quite ready for solving anything but toy problems and testing basic algorithms.

Beyond time and space

Chapter 1: The Experiment I had been working on perfecting my time-traveling device for months, and I had finally achieved success. I stepped into the device, hoping to take a brief trip through time. As I pressed the activation button, I was overcome with a sudden shock of energy and I felt my body being hurled through the air.    My time-traveling device was powered by a small energy source, which was capable of manipulating the laws of physics in order to create a stable time-traveling wormhole. To create this wormhole, I had used the gravitational forces of two black holes located in the same region of space-time. This allowed me to travel through time and space without creating a timeline imbalance.    The device was also equipped with a sophisticated navigation system which allowed me to precisely pinpoint my destination in time and space. Using this system, I was able to accurately calculate the time and location of my journey and ensure that I ended up back i...

Dell announces security breach!

US-based hardware giant Dell announced today a security breach that took place earlier this month, on November 9. Dell says it detected an unauthorized intruder (or intruders) "attempting to extract Dell.com customer information" from its systems, such as customer names, email addresses, and hashed passwords. The company didn't go into details about the complexity of the password hashing algorithm, but some of these --such as MD5-- can be broken within seconds to reveal the plaintext password. "Though it is possible some of this information was removed from Dell's network, our investigations found no conclusive evidence that any was extracted," Dell said today in a press release. In a statement sent to ZDNet, Dell said it's still investigating the incident, but said the breach wasn't extensive, with the company's engineers detecting the intrusion on the same day it happened. A Dell spokesperson declined to give out a number of affected acc...
