  5. Google Willow: The secrets of the world’s most powerful quantum computer

    Inside the sub-zero lair of the world’s most powerful computer

    By Faisal Islam, Economics editor

    Inside the secretive lab which stores the world’s most powerful computer

    It looks like a golden chandelier and contains the coldest place in the known universe.

    What I am looking at is not just the most powerful computer in the world, but technology pivotal to financial security, Bitcoin, government secrets, the world economy and more.

    Quantum computing holds the key to which companies and countries win – and lose – the rest of the 21st Century.

    In front of me suspended a metre in the air, in a Google facility in Santa Barbara California, is Willow. Frankly, it was not what I expected.

    There are no screens or keyboards, let alone holographic head cams or brain-reading chips.

    Willow is an oil barrel-sized series of round discs connected by hundreds of black control wires descending into a bronze liquid helium bath refrigerator keeping the quantum microchip a thousandth of a degree above absolute zero.

    It looks, and feels, very eighties, but if quantum’s potential is realised, the metal and wire jellyfish structure in front of me will transform the world, in many ways.

    “Welcome to our Quantum AI lab,” says Hartmut Neven, Google’s Quantum AI chief, as we go through the high security door.

    Neven is something of a legendary figure, part technological genius, part techno music enthusiast, who dresses like he has snowboarded here straight from the Burning Man music festival – for which he designs art. Perhaps he has, in a parallel universe – more on that later.

    His mission is to turn theoretical physics into functional quantum computers “to solve otherwise unsolvable problems” and he admits he’s biased but says these chandeliers are the best performing in the world.

    Faisal Islam was shown around a Google facility in Santa Barbara

    Secret temple of high science

    Much of our conversation is about what we are not allowed to film in this restricted lab. This critical technology is subject to export controls, secrecy and is at the heart of a race for commercial and economic supremacy. Any small advantage, from the shape of new components to the companies in global supply chains, is a source of potential leverage.

    There is a notable Californian vibe in this temple of high science, in its art and colour. Each quantum computer is given a name such as Yakushima or Mendocino, they are each wrapped in a piece of contemporary art, and various graffiti-style murals adorn the walls illuminated by the bright winter sun.

    Neven holds up Willow, Google’s latest quantum chip, which has delivered two important milestones. He said it settled “once and for all” the discussion about whether quantum computers can do tasks that classical computers can’t.

    Willow also solved a benchmark problem in minutes that would have taken the best computer in the world 10 septillion years, so more than a trillion trillion, or one with 25 zeros on the end, more than the age of the universe.

    This theoretical result was recently applied to the Quantum Echoes algorithm, impossible for conventional computers, which helps learn the structure of molecules from the same technology used in MRI machines.

  8. Der #Regenwald in unserem Badezimmer #Peru #Indigene
    Die peruanische Firma Candela ist eine Pionierin der Bioökonomie. Sie exportiert seit 36 Jahren zertifizierte Öle aus dem peruanischen Regenwald für #Naturkosmetik -Konzerne auf der ganzen Welt.
    Teresa Palla hat sich nie groß darüber Gedanken gemacht, wie ihre Haut geschmeidiger oder ihre Haare seidiger werden können. Dafür war einfach keine Zeit mit acht Töchtern, der Arbeit im Wald und auf den kleinen Feldern.

  11. Later the evening, earlier that night. Listening to outer noises inner voices and the frequencies in between concrete and clouds. Stories of plans and deviations. Some things always work better than others and some take longer and amidst this, time passes quickly. Inbound complaints on a sidetrack, known environments, unknown services discovered, no points of contacts and no clear paper trail. Surrounded by a fog of old information within an ever-flowing stream of news difficult to handle. Unsettled. Filing an issue, for better or worse, and making sure the right tabs are closed afterwards. Balconies, chandeliers, two bass guitars and a cigarette and this is how things move, consistent yet slow. Sleep safe everyone wherever you are. #outerworld #concrete_city #evening_deviations #the_sounds_of_early_nights

  16. @paulk : ik kan het gemist hebben, maar ik kan mij niet herinneren dat mensen als @barbarakathmann en @[email protected] (aka? @[email protected] ) al aandacht aan dit groeiende probleem hebben besteed.

    CF (Cloudflare) is bezig een parallel web te bouwen, volledig onder US wetgeving (#FISAsection702 ). Ik vind dit minstens net zo eng als wanneer #DigiD in handen van een US bedrijf zou vallen.

    Het is de hoogste tijd dat de EU en/of NL zelf DDoS bescherming ontwikkelen - mede omdat CF zeer veel criminele websites beschermt en zich daar niet verantwoordelijk voor zegt te voelen. Alsof je een schuur verhuurt maar zelf niet wil weten of daar een illegaal drugslab in zit - dat noem ik medeplichtig, want je "verdient" geld aan misdaad.

    Technisch: CF heeft in steeds meer datacenters (wereldwijd) servers, dus ook één "bij jou om de hoek". Als je verbinding maakt met bijv. moetiknaardedokter.nl of zingendesnaar.nl, gaat dat via de fysiek meest dichtbijzijnde CF server (alsof er duizenden servers zijn waar ELKE door CF beschermde website "achter zit"). Dat maakt DDoS aanvallen op websites "achter Cloudflare" veel lastiger.

    Vanaf zo'n "frontend" CF server kom je op Cloudflare's parallelle internet - afgeschermd van het reguliere internet.

    Die #Tunnelbohrung unter der Hauptstadt ist beendet. Die Maschine „#Candela“ legte über 6,7 km zurück. Jetzt wird der Tunnel für die Verlegung der #Stromkabel vorbereitet. Das Projekt stärkt die #Energieinfrastruktur Berlins und ist Teil der #Energiewende der Hauptstadt.

  19. Goedemorgen! Pure herfst nu, dus blijf lekker binnen. Er trekken (flinke) buien over het land, mogelijk ook met onweer en misschien ook met hagel. Dat duurt wel tot in de avond. Het wordt nog wel 18 graden. werkaandemuur.nl/nl/shopwerk/G #weer #herfst #zomer #goedemorgen #gripopjecamera

  20. Goedemorgen. We starten vandaag met half tot zwaar bewolkt weer met soms een bui. Vanmiddag en vanavond zijn er perioden met zon met ook weer soms een bui, maar later vanavond komt er een regengebied vanuit het zuidwesten opzetten, waaruit het gaat regenen. Het wordt 20 graden aan de kust tot 24 graden in het oosten van het land. werkaandemuur.nl/nl/shopwerk/D #weer #zomer #goedemorgen #gripopjecamera

  21. Goedemorgen! Het is zonnig en warm, maar vanmorgen zou er in het noorden en westen ook een buitje of wat kunnen vallen. Zelf geloof ik dara niet zoveel van. Verder veel zon, met maxima van 25 graden in het uiterste noorden tot 34-35 graden in het zuiden. Daar is bakken en braden. Sorry. werkaandemuur.nl/nl/shopwerk/E #weer #zomer #goedemorgen #gripopjecamera

  22. Goedeorgen! Het is wisselend bewolkt met buien in het binnenland. Pas vanmiddag wordt het vanuit het westen wat droger en zien we de zon wat meer. Vanavond is het overal droog. Code geel voor Flevoland vanmorgen voor mogelijk wateroverlast: door het opgewarmde IJsselmeer ontstaan daar felle buien die naar Flevoland worden geblazen en daar hun lading lozen. Het wordt verder ongeveer 20 graden. werkaandemuur.nl/nl/shopwerk/W #weer #zomer #goedemorgen #gripopjecamera

    Giornata internazionale della #luce.

    Candele, lampade e candelabri, oggi ritenuti semplici oggetti ornamentali, nel #Medioevo erano veri e propri simboli di distinzione sociale, oltre che uniche fonti di luce artificiale.

    Chi si poteva permettere di possedere lampade e candelabri in oro e argento? Solo i ricchi, che li esponevano come simboli del loro #potere e #ricchezza.
