| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Tech Meam ride home for Wednesday, April 3rd, |
| 0:06.8 | 24. I'm Brian McCullough today. Have we just had a major breakthrough in |
| 0:10.5 | quantum computing? The earthquake in Taiwan might lead to some chip issues |
| 0:15.2 | we don't quite know yet. Amazon is retooling its just walk out technology, venture capitalists |
| 0:20.0 | are having a hard time raising money, and in the last segment of the show I actually |
| 0:23.7 | break some news about coin base here's what you miss today in the world of tech. |
| 0:32.4 | Potentially historical news that is not AI related, Microsoft and Quontinum this morning |
| 0:39.2 | detailed a breakthrough in Quantum error correction helping run more than 14,000 experiments with no errors. |
| 0:46.5 | An issue that has long been a problem for Quantum Computing, quoting Tech Crunch. |
| 0:52.3 | Using Quantum's Ion Trap Hardware and Microsoft's new |
| 0:56.0 | cubit virtualization system, the team was able to run more than 14,000 |
| 0:59.6 | experiments without a single error. This new system also allowed the team to check the |
| 1:03.8 | logical cubits and correct any errors that encountered without destroying the |
| 1:07.5 | logical cubits. This the two companies say has now moved the state of the art of |
| 1:11.8 | quantum computing out of what has typically been dubbed |
| 1:14.8 | the era of noisy intermediate scale quantum NISQ computers. Noisy because even the smallest |
| 1:21.5 | changes in the environment can lead a quantum system to |
| 1:24.1 | essentially become random or decohere and intermediate scale because the |
| 1:29.1 | current generation of quantum computers is still limited to just over a thousand cubits at best. |
| 1:34.4 | A cubit is the fundamental unit of computing in quantum systems analogous to a bit in a classic |
| 1:39.9 | computer, but each cubit can be in multiple states at the same time and doesn't fall into a specific |
| 1:45.4 | position until measured, which underlies the potential of quantum to deliver a huge leap in computing |
