PALO ALTO, Calif. and STAFFORD, Va., April 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- D-Wave Government Inc., a subsidiary providing D-Waves quantum computing technology, software, services, and expertise to the U.S. government, and Cyber Bytes Foundation (CBF), a non-profit producing education, innovation, and outreach programs responsive to national security challenges, today announced they will work together to host a quantum academy.

Quantum computings importance to our national security remains a focus for the federal government. In the FY21 NDAA, the Service Secretaries were tasked with providing an annual list of technical problems and research challenges likely to be addressable by quantum computers and available for use within the next one to three years. The CBF Quantum Academy, sponsored by D-Wave Government Inc., is aimed at providing strategic guidance, training, and education to ensure the government understands how to best harness the powerful and complex technology. Together, the two organizations are hosting four academy events this year. These events will be available to attend in a virtual capacity in the short term, with the potential to attend in-person at the Quantico Cyber Hub in Stafford, VA later in the year. The following topics will be covered:

Expanding quantum computing access and understanding of the capabilities of todays technology within the U.S. government is critical to the technologys continued maturation and role in the public sector. Cyber Bytes Foundations education and outreach expertise complements D-Wave Governments quantum leadership in this shared endeavor, said Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. Practical quantum computing is capable of delivering value and tackling complex problems that matter to the U.S. government today from public safety planning to autonomous vehicle routing. We look forward to working with CBF to help the government better understand how to harness quantum computing.

Quantum computing represents the next technology revolution. However, there is a knowledge gap surrounding its current capabilities. We are excited to partner with D-Wave Government Inc., a leading quantum provider and subject matter expert to stand up this academy, said Joel Scharlat, Director of Operations with the Cyber Bytes Foundation. These classes have been carefully designed to provide government decision-makers at every level with the information necessary to employ quantum computing to solve todays critical challenges. This is the next step in making the Quantico Cyber Hub the center of technology innovation for the government.

Scott Aaronson is therecipient of the 2020 ACM Prize in Computing for his "groundbreaking contributions to quantum computing." Aaronson, who is Professor of Computer Science at the University of Texas, Austin, has also made fundamental contributions to classical complexity theory.

The award, which was established in 2007 to recognize "early to mid-career fundamental innovative contributions in computing" carries a prize of $250,000, with its financial support provided by Infosys Ltd.

In today's announcement,Pravin Rao, COO of Infosys states:

Infosys is proud to fund the ACM Prize in Computing and we congratulate Scott Aaronson on being this years recipient. When the effort to build quantum computation devices was first seriously explored in the 1990s, some labeled it as science fiction. While the realization of a fully functional quantum computer may still be in the future, this is certainly not science fiction. The successful quantum hardware experiments by Google and others have been a marvel to many who are following these developments. Scott Aaronson has been a leading figure in this area of research and his contributions will continue to focus and guide the field as it reaches its remarkable potential.

Explaining that the goal of quantum computing is:

"to harness the laws of quantum physics to build devices that can solve problems that classical computers either cannot solve, or not solve in any reasonable amount of time"

the ACM notes that Aaronson showed how results from computational complexity theory can provide new insights into the laws of quantum physics, and brought clarity to what quantum computers will, and will not, be able to do.

Aaronson helped develop the concept of quantum supremacy, something that would be achieved when a quantum device can solve a problem that no classical computer can solve in a reasonable amount of time and established many of the theoretical foundations of quantum supremacy experiments. He has also explored how quantum supremacy experiments could deliver a key application of quantum computing, namely the generation of cryptographically random bits.

Among his notable contribution are the 2011 paper The Computational Complexity of Linear Optics, in which, with co-author Alex Arkhipov, he put forward evidence that rudimentary quantum computers built entirely out of linear-optical elements cannot be efficiently simulated by classical computers.

Earlier, in his 2002 paper Quantum lower bound for the collision problem, Aaronson proved the quantum lower bound for the collision problem, which had been for years a major open problem. This work bounds the minimum time for a quantum computer to find collisions in many-to-one functions, giving evidence that a basic building block of cryptography will remain secure for quantum computers.

Aaronson is known for hiswork on algebrization, a technique he invented with Avi Wigderson to understand the limits of algebraic techniques for separating and collapsing complexity classes. Beyond his technical contributions, Aaronson is also credited with making quantum computing understandable to a wide audience, through his popular blog,Shtetl Optimized, where he explains timely and exciting topics in quantum computing in a simple and effective way, TED Talks to dispel misconceptions and provide the public with a more accurate overview of the field and his bookQuantum Computing Since Democritus, see side panel.

In his latest blog post, Aaronson recounts how he was toled about winning the prize and writes:

I dont know if Im worthy of such a prizebut I know that if I am, then its mainly for work I did between roughly 2001 and 2012. This honor inspires me to want to be more like I was back then, when I was driven, non-jaded, and obsessed with figuring out the contours of BQP and efficient computation in the physical universe. It makes me want to justify the ACMs faith in me.

Qiskit is an open-source framework for creating and running programs on quantum computers. The project was launched by IBM four years ago as an effort to introduce more programmers to quantum computing.

Since then, IBM has updated the SDK to better meet users needs and have provided pulse-level control to help programmers understand and work with qubits. Additionally, the company recently added the Qiskit Optimization model, which enables programmers to focus more on programs and less on how quantum systems work.

RELATED CONTENT: The climb to quantum supremacy

IBM recently announced plans to evolve the Qiskit and provide a runtime environment that better reflects the developer community needs.

Plans include:

These changes, and those to come, all work toward creating frictionless programming on our quantum computers. That makes it easier for programmers to find what theyre looking for and creates a lower barrier to entry for scientists, financial analysts and other domain expert non-programmers who care more about leveraging the power of quantum computing to solve specific problems than they do about quantum circuits or qubit coherence, the IBM Quantum team wrote in a post.

IBM also recently announced a Quantum Developer Certification program to help provide developers with quantum computing skills.

Quantum Computing Market Analysis: The transformative Impact Due To COVID-19 The Courier - The Courier

I asked Barber of the Poor Peoples Campaign what his movement would do if Biden doesnt go as far as hed like to see. I dont think thats the last word, he told me. You know, Lyndon Baines Johnson didnt want to do the Voting Rights Act. The people decided he had to.

He went on: I dont think we know fully what any president really wants to do until we put the pressure on. He quoted something Franklin Delano Roosevelt allegedly once said to the labor activist A. Philip Randolph: Go out and make me do it. That apocryphal FDR quote came up many times in my reporting. It is a way of putting the onus on activists, while also showing them respect.

Sirota hears echoes of Johnson, too. Not since LBJs era have we simultaneously had a Democratic Congress, a non-celebrity-type machine-Democratic president, and a boisterous left-of-center movement making concrete policy demands, he said. That particular confluence can create the ideal conditions for significant and fast progressive change. What lies ahead, perhaps, is the make-me-do-it presidency.

What is holding the factions together for now is the sense that they have a singular chance to bend the American trajectory.

One of the things thats impressed me about all members of Congress is there havent been a lot of people acting like spoiled brats, Schatz told me. We have an opportunity to do more work in this short time period than many of us have done in previous decades.

Many of the people I interviewed saw 2021 as a break not only from 2017 and Trumpism, and not only from 2009 and the financial-crisis failures, but also from 1981, the year Ronald Reagan became president. Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem, Reagan famously said. What I heard socialists, progressives, moderates, and the White House itself agree on is that the country has a chance to plot an escape from that imprisoning assumption. Were breaking out of the Reagan consensus right now, Trumka, the union leader, told me.

Pete Buttigieg, Bidens secretary of transportation, ran to the right of the progressives in the 2020 campaign, but often spoke of ending Reagans grip. I asked him if the era of big government was back. I would definitely say the idea that government is the problem is over, he told me. Its a new era of expecting government to help solve big problems.

It is awkward but important to bear in mind that, when Reagan got to work slashing both government and taxes, he had a perhaps ambivalent ally in a young senator from Delaware named Joe Biden. Biden voted for the package that is now viewed as the seedbed of the Reagan age. It is remarkable that Bidens White House, more than Clintons or Obamas, should embrace the idea of ending Reagans reign.

This really is the place where we can change the paradigm of how government has operated since Reagan, Mike Donilon, a senior White House adviser to Biden who began working for him, fittingly, in 1981, told me. One thing he has always believed is government can be a force for good in peoples lives. Naturally, he wanted to frame Bidens stance today in terms of continuity. But I pushed him on the improbability of it allthis leader, of all leaders, driving a turn away from a center-right consensus of which he was a card-carrying member.
