A Quantum counting algorithm is for efficiently counting the number of solutions for a given search problem. The algorithm is based on the quantum phase estimation algorithm and on Grover’s search algorithm. Counting problems are common in diverse fields such as statistical estimation, statistical physics, networking, etc. As for quantum computing, the ability to perform quantum counting efficiently is needed in order to use […]

The feasibility of a commercial quantum computer was discussed in a prior blog. It was also mentioned that an internet quantum computer service is feasible. While companies like D-Wave in Canada is a commercial quantum computer company, their customers typically ask for build-to-order machines.  Several companies, such as Microsoft, Intel, and IBM have internet-based quantum […]

Purdue University engineers have addressed an issue barring the development of quantum networks that are big enough to reliably support more than a handful of  users. The method, demonstrated in a paper published in Optica, could help lay the groundwork for when a large number of quantum computers, quantum sensors and other quantum  technology are ready to go […]

Artificial intelligence (AI) is evolving rapidly, with new neural network models, techniques, and use cases emerging regularly.  While there is no single architecture that works best for all machine and deep learning applications, FPGAs can offer distinct advantages over GPUs and other types of hardware in certain use cases. FPGA DEEP LEARNING BENEFITS:  • FPGAs offer incredible flexibility and cost efficiency […]

Ethernet is widely used for all kinds of applications. However, for demanding multimedia streaming applications in a fully-loaded network, Ethernet is not the right choice due to its limited Quality-of-Service (QoS) support.  IEEE 802.1 Audio/Video Bridging (AVB) standard, an extension to legacy Ethernet, provides the QoS features needed for multimedia streaming such as time synchronized […]
