Micro- I mean QuantumSoft : New Azure quantum service coming out in months.

Not so long after Google announcing their quantum supremacy, Microsoft has also joined the competition with a similar offering to google's (virtual) quantum cloud computing service along with a bunch of other new cloud services.

Microsoft today shared plans to release an open cloud quantum computing service in private preview. Microsoft open-sourced its Quantum Development Kit and Q# compilers and simulators for developers this summer. A partnership with the startup IonQ announced today will enable developers to use existing Microsoft products — like Visual Studio or the Quantum Development Kit — along with quantum computers.The news follows recent breakthroughs in quantum computing from IBM Research and Google, who announced on October 23 that it achieved quantum supremacy with the 54-qubit Sycamore processor.

Quantum computing is based on quantum physics. Quantum computers run on quantum bits or qubits, and when qubits are maintained in a cold state they can scale high-performance computation in a way that’s hard to achieve today with traditional supercomputers. IonQ uses an approach to quantum computing that focuses on trapping ions. “IonQ brings a unique approach to quantum computing, with tremendous potential,” Microsoft quantum systems general manager Krysta Svore said in a statement shared with VentureBeat. “This partnership brings world-class quantum computing capabilities to Azure Quantum, and we’re excited to continue working together to realize the full benefits of quantum computers.

ompanies like Rigetti and D-Wave Systems, maker of quantum computers for Google and NASA, also offer quantum computing in the cloud. And IBM’s 53-qubit computer will be available in the cloud. Microsoft plans to launch Azure Quantum in the coming months, the company said in a news release today ahead of the start of its Ignite conference in Orlando, Florida. Also announced today: a meeting scheduler and voice email briefings from AI assistant Cortana and upgrades for Windows 10, Microsoft 365, and other Microsoft products and services.

Thoughts: Hey look, it's another computing service that I cannot afford in my lifetime.

This is what the new MS Flight Sim will be using for its real world data model. Pretty amazing stuff. I can't friggin wait for that to come out! I'm gonna be so poor after that!

i have no idea how Quantum computers work in the first place, but how the hell does cloud quantum computing work? Can a quantum computer be partitioned to run multiple simultaneous work loads?

The simplest way it was explained to me is that a normal computer can be in a state of either HI (1) or LO (0), where as a Quantum computer can be HI, LO, Both, or neither.

Sounds like the state one can be in in a marriage.   He is either right, wrong, both and neither.  But her friends understand why he is wrong even though they can't explain it and all have a different version of events.

 

Personally I learnt all I need to know about quantum physics by trying to understand females (and watching star trek, but mostly the females).

Remote connection to a regular PC that is connected to a quantum processor I bet.

yes, let us give the A.I's the power of Quantum computing, that won't bite back!

let me just remind you what an A.I can potentially do here

i'm just a man with a dream... of destroying humanity
