H.Cash tweeted: HCash LIVE Seminar, Featuring Adam and Andrew, CEO & COO Join this awesome LIVE seminar and learn about quantum computers and how HCash is building industry-disrupting technology. When: March 28th, 9pm HKT, 1pm GMT, 2pm CET, 9am EST.

Andrew Wasylewicz, COO, of HCash in the past month, tweeted: The dangers of quantum hacking are very real and already available.

This might be one reason for why Wasylewicz seems to be excited about Europes first quantum computer to be built by IBM in Germany.

Adam Geri, CEO of HCash tweeted: Cardano Creator Charles Hoskinson Says Pandemic Will Pass, New Age of Tech Advancements Will Uplift Humanity.

The HCASH (HC)ecosystem has two chains, which consists of the HyperCash (HC) main chain and the Hyper Exchange (HX) chain derived from the main chain. The HyperExchange (HX) will work towards bridging communications between blockchains consisting of BTC and ETH as well as other blockchains like the DAGs.

The two chains run laterally. This dual ecosystem is structured to be interlinked, bifocal dual token. This dual-chain ecosystem can be used to solve interconnection, privacy, and security issues, which are prevalent in the current blockchain ecosystem.

Sydney Ifergan, the crypto expert, tweeted: Andrew Wasylewicz, when talking about exciting developments, stated that HCASH is here building and changing tech in the industry and universities around the world. The well-kept spirit indeed, despite the current crisis.

The Hcash (HC)is designed to provide for the exchange of information between the blockchains and non-blockchain networks. It is a highly secure network featuring quantum-resistant signature technology.

Hcash (HC)provides for a new standard of value by featuring post-quantum, signature technology. It has a PoW + PoS hybrid consensus. The community voting module is function ready.

Hcash can help create a new platform that will be able to be connected to different blockchains, thus permitting value and information to circulate freely between the networks, thus redefining the value of a blockchain.

The autonomous governance model is community-driven and therefore ensures efficient decision making, thereby creating a sustainable and inclusive development environment. The post-quantum lattice RingCT protocols helps in improving and optimizing ZK-snarks. Thus, clients have effective options to safeguard privacy.

The HCash Wallet is used to store funds in hot and cold multi-signature addresses on their original chain. It is accessible only by the user. It is managed by the RPPOM consensus mechanism.

Why would you be thinking about quantum computing? Yes, it may be two years or more before quantum computing will be widely available, but there are already quite a few organizations that are pressing ahead. I'll get into those use cases, but first - Lets start with the basics:

Classical computers require built-in fans and other ways to dissipate heat, and quantum computers are no different. Instead of working with bits of information that can be either 0 or 1, as in a classical machine, a quantum computer relies on "qubits," which can be in both states simultaneously called a superposition thanks to the quirks of quantum mechanics. Those qubits must be shielded from all external noise, since the slightest interference will destroy the superposition, resulting in calculation errors. Well-isolated qubits heat up quickly, so keeping them cool is a challenge.

The current operating temperature of quantum computers is 0.015 Kelvin or -273C or -460F. That is the only way to slow down the movement of atoms, so a "qubit" can hold a value.

There have been some creative solutions proposed for this problem, such as the nanofridge," which builds a circuit with an energy gap dividing two channels: a superconducting fast lane, where electrons can zip along with zero resistance, and a slow resistive (non-superconducting) lane. Only electrons with sufficient energy to jump across that gap can get to the superconductor highway; the rest are stuck in the slow lane. This has a cooling effect.

Just one problem though: The inventor, MikkoMttnen, is confident enough in the eventual success that he has applied for a patent for the device. However, "Maybe in 10 to 15 years, this might be commercially useful, he said. Its going to take some time, but Im pretty sure well get there."

Ten to fifteen years? It may be two years or more before quantum computing will be widely available, but there are already quite a few organizations that are pressing ahead in the following sectors:

An excellent, detailed report on the quantum computing ecosystem is: The Next Decade in Quantum Computingand How to Play.

But the cooling problem must get sorted. It may be diamonds that finally solve some of the commercial and operational/cost issues in quantum computing: synthetic, also known as lab-grown diamonds.

The first synthetic diamond was grown by GE in 1954. It was an ugly little brown thing. By the '70s, GE and others were growing up to 1-carat off-color diamonds for industrial use. By the '90s, a company called Gemesis (renamed Pure Grown Diamonds) successfully created one-carat flawless diamonds graded ILA, meaning perfect. Today designer diamonds come in all sizes and colors: adding Boron to make them pink or nitrogen to make them yellow.

Diamonds have unique properties. They have high thermal conductivity (meaning they don't melt like silicon). The thermal conductivity of a pure diamond is the highest of any known solid. They are also an excellent electrical insulator. In its center, it has an impurity called an N-V center, where a carbon atom is replaced by a nitrogen atom leaving a gap where an unpaired electron circles the nitrogen gap and can be excited or polarized by a laser. When excited, the electron gives off a single photon leaving it in a reduced energy state. Somehow, and I admit I dont completely understand this, the particle is placed into a quantum superposition. In quantum-speak, that means it can be two things, two values, two places at once, where it has both spin up and spin down. That is the essence of quantum computing, the creation of a "qubit," something that can be both 0 and 1 at the same time.

If that isnt weird enough, there is the issue of entanglement. A microwave pulse can be directed at a pair of qubits, placing them both in the same state. But you can "entangle" them so that they are always in the same state. In other words, if you change the state of one of them, the other also changes, even if great distances separate them, a phenomenon Einstein dubbed, spooky action at a distance. Entangled photons don't need bulky equipment to keep them in their quantum state, and they can transmit quantum information across long distances.

At least in the theory of the predictive nature of entanglement, adding qubits explodes a quantum computer's computing power. In telecommunications, for example, entangled photons that span the traditional telecommunications spectrum have enormous potential for multi-channel quantum communication.

News Flash: Physicists have just demonstrated a 3-particle entanglement. This increases the capacity of quantum computing geometrically.

The cooling of qubits is the stumbling block. Diamonds seem to offer a solution, one that could quantum computing into the mainstream. The impurities in synthetic diamonds can be manipulated, and the state of od qubit can held at room temperature, unlike other potential quantum computing systems, and NV-center qubits (described above) are long-lived. There are still many issues to unravel to make quantum computers feasible, but today, unless you have a refrigerator at home that can operate at near absolute-zero, hang on to that laptop.

But doesnt diamonds in computers sound expensive, flagrant, excessive? It begs the question, What is anything worth? Synthetic diamonds for jewelry are not as expensive as mined gems, but the price one pays at retail s burdened by the effect of monopoly, and so many intermediaries, distributors, jewelry companies, and retailers.

A recent book explored the value of fine things and explains the perceived value which only has a psychological basis.In the 1930s, De Beers, which had a monopoly on the world diamond market and too many for the weak demand, engaged the N. W. Ayers advertising agency realizing that diamonds were only sold to the very rich, while everyone else was buying cars and appliances. They created a market for diamond engagement rings and introduced the idea that a man should spend at least three months salary on a diamond for his betrothed.

And in classic selling of an idea, not a brand, they used their earworm taglines like diamonds are forever. These four iconic words have appeared in every single De Beers advertisement since 1948, and AdAge named it the #1 slogan of the century in 1999. Incidentally, diamonds arent forever. That diamond on your finger is slowly evaporating.

The worldwide outrage over the Blood Diamond scandal is increasing supply and demand for fine jewelry applications of synthetic diamonds. If quantum computers take off, and a diamond-based architecture becomes a standard, it will spawn a synthetic diamond production boom, increasing supply and drastically lowering the cost, making it feasible.

Many thanks to my daughter, Aja Raden, an author, jeweler, and behavioral economist for her insights about the diamond trade.

Global Quantum Computing Market (2020 to 2025) - Investment in R&D of Technology and Development is Strategically Important - ResearchAndMarkets.com -...

A cornerstone of the technology that is shifting the way we go about our lives is artificial intelligence (AI). Also known as machine intelligence or machine learning, AI is the development of computer-driven technology used to perform functions and tasks that previously required human intelligence. That said, AI ETFs are reaping the benefits.

Within the sprawling AI universe, there are four pillars: reactive machines, limited memory, theory of mind and self-awareness. An example of reactive machines would be the famous Deep Blue chess-playing supercomputer from IBM (NYSE:IBM) while autonomous and self-driving vehicles would be examples of technologies in the limited memory category.

Everyday applications of AI include Apples (NASDAQ:AAPL) SIRI, Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) search algorithim and Amazons (NASDAQ:AMZN) Alexa.

Those are basic forms of AI, but they serve as evidence of the markets growth and utility. Investors can harness those trends and more by taking advantage of the opportunities in AI ETFs.

That said, lets take a look at a few.

Expense Ratio: 0.75% per year, or $75 on a $10,000 investment

For investors looking for disruptive technology exposure, the actively managed ARK Innovation ETF (NYSEARCA:ARKK) fits the bill. The fund has a wide reach that encompasses not just pure AI, but industries using this next generation technology.

ARKK companies run the gamut of genomic firms, fintech providers, next generation internet (shared work and related infrastructure) and industrial innovation, among others. Like some other ARK funds, ARKK is know for its large weight to Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), which is more than 10%. However, it features plenty of other high fliers with dominant positioning in their respective markets, including Square (NYSE:SQ) and Illumina (NASDAQ:ILMN).

Moreover, some of ARKKs allure as an AI ETF is realized through its exposure to the deep-learning market a truly compelling long-term trend.

In fact, ARK believes that deep learning will be more impactful than the Internet:

The Internet created roughly $10 trillion in global equity market capitalization in 20 years. We believe that deep learning will have 3x that impact, adding $30 trillion to global equity markets over the next two decades.

Expense Ratio: 0.68% per year

The Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF (NASDAQ:BOTZ) is an established giant in the world of AI ETFs with over $1 billion in assets under management and a track record spanning nearly four years.

The fund holds 38 stocks and its top holding is Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), a name with deep AI credibility. That stock accounts for the bulk of the semiconductor exposure in BOTZ. Underscoring this funds diversity, BOTZ features allocations to 14 industry groups, including chip makers.

Importantly, BOTZ provides exposure to increasing efficiencies in the AI universe. In turn, these are widely viewed as a vital long-term driver of AI investment outcomes.

In the past, training robotics was laborious and required time, capital, and engineering expertise, but AI simulators are becoming increasingly accurate at transferring learning to real world applications, according to Global X research. These simulators can run thousands of iterative processes in seconds, creating vast amounts of training data.

Expense Ratio: 0.40%

The Defiance Quantum ETF (NYSEARCA:QTUM) is one of the premier AI ETFs when it comes to accessing the deep and machine learning themes. The funds underlying benchmark the BlueStar Quantum Computing and Machine Learning Index provides robust exposure to those markets.

Home to 60 stocks, QTUMs index gives the fund a deeper bench than many competing AI ETFs. QTUM itself has 84 holdings.

QTUM components are involved in quantum computing, which data indicates QTUMs exposure to this burgeoning theme could be a positive long-term driver.

The global commercial quantum computing market is expected to reach $1.3 billion by 2027 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 52.9% from 2022 to 2027 and $161 million by 2022 from $33.0 million in 2017 at a CAGR of 37.3% for the period 2017-2022, notes BCC Research.

Todd Shriber has been an InvestorPlace contributor since 2014. As of this writing, he did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

3 AI ETFs Changing The World - Investorplace.com

The race to build the best and the fastest quantum computer continues, but now it's not just Google AI and IBM who are running Honeywell has joined in too.

Entering in style, Honeywell made the bold statement that "By the middle of 2020, we're releasing the most powerful quantum computer yet."

SEE ALSO: IBM'S 53 QUBIT QUANTUM COMPUTER WILL BE AVAILABLE BY OCTOBER

Google AI and IBM have been in the race for a while now. Just last October Google claimed to have made it to "quantum supremacy" by creating a quantum computer that could solve a problem that would have taken the world's most powerful supercomputer 10,000 years to figure out.

Immediately after, IBM refuted Google's statement.

Perhaps it's now time for both Google and IBM to move aside and let a third contender join in on the fun. North Carolina-based multinational conglomerate, Honeywell, has claimed that their quantum computer has twice the power as the best quantum computer that currently exists.

It's an interesting statement to make given there isn't yet a universally accepted standard for the power of a quantum computer.

Honeywell's quantum computer is supposedly extremely stable, and instead of depending on faster superconducting chips like Google AI and IBM use, Honeywell's computer uses ion traps instead. This technology enables individual ions to be held in place using electromagnetic fields and moves around thanks to laser pulses.

It's these ion traps that Honeywell claims will make its quantum computer far more scaleable.

We're yet to see a commercially available quantum computer, however, these technologies hold the real potential to revolutionize computing by being able to solve unbelievably long and complicated numerical problems simultaneously by using qubits instead of bits.

After Honeywell's rather large claim, the company has yet to reveal the computer but as they stated, we'll just have to wait until the middle of 2020.
