The amazing Google quantum computer

In a recent article it was mentioned that a famous computer, acquired by Google from NASA, has proven beyond doubt to be superior to conventional computers used today. The information was provided by researchers at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of Google.
Google’s company said that this incredible computer has included a chip, so powerful and advanced, that would help the artificial intelligence algorithms.
Google researchers say that this computer may be used, accurately, in the advances of quantum physics and with the application of special mathematical theory may advance the AI field, this model would work much faster than a conventional computer.
Many powerful companies in the computer field like IBM, Microsoft, Goggle and the Government, are trying to develop a "quantum computer" using the concepts of quantum mechanics and work with data and to decipher huge amount of data not properly obtained or developed at its full capacity. These companies believe that quantum computer could make their studies of artificial intelligence more completed and also advance in the field of scientific materials.




NASA hopes that quantum computer can help in future space missions. Deepak Biswas, Director of Technology Ames Exploration Center in Mountain View, California NASA; said is a very disruptive technology that could change the way we do things today."
The scientific Boswas addressed the media specifying the joint work between NASA and Google’s company. He explained the management of data by the chip-superconductor called 'Quantum Annealer", which is modifiable with the adaptation of an algorithm called "problems-optimized" which are common in machine-learning and artificial intelligence programs.
Despite the progress of this computer (D-Wave's chip), they still have some detractors, particularly among quantum physicists. Several investigators claim that has not been fully proven that quantum computer can perform quantum physics problems and hit conventional computers.
After the controversial about the capability of this chip, Google AI labs, expressed, through Hartmut Neven, that related investigations have provided strong evidence on this matter. Google has developed a series of improvements to the D-Wave, provided by NASA, compared to conventional computers. Neven said that "Specifically, they have designed and improved the concept of problem-of-test to reach speeds of up to 100 million."
Google results are impressed, despite the questioning of the test validity, and are only part of the vindication of D-Wave. Initially, the computer lost a test with another quantum machine, when it was running a code to solve a problem manually, using a similar chip prepared in D-Wave algorithm. It is known that an alternative algorithm may have left the conventional computers be more competitive, or even win, Neven explained it was, what he called, a "bug" in the design of D-Wave. Neven said the test performed by the group is still important because the shortcut is not available for conventional computers until they complete, in the future, the quantum Annealers capability to work on large amounts of data.



The Google’s company is confident with D-Wave, to do it. Last summer, Google opened a new laboratory in Santa Barbara, led by academic researcher John Martins.

The academic is working on quantum hardware to optimize not just problems of limitations of Annealers. It foreshadows the computer will be called 'The Universal Quantum Computer" and could be programmed to solve any problem that could be more beneficial, but is expected a delay before they improve it. IBM and Microsoft, as well as Government laboratories are also working on this technology.



Google’s company, through its Vice-President John Giannandrea researches coordinator, said the quantum Annealers could be practical, and we may find many uses for more powerful software 'program-of-learning' orientated. 'We found problems during the solution of our non-practical products, using existing computers, and we also still have many problems’ he indicated that 'Possibly we have to wait many years before we make a difference with Google products."
For those persons amazed with this computer, it’s necessary to explain that the main purpose of the computer is to manipulate enormous amount of data, at the most rapidly speed possible. With this problem resolved, Google may provide programmers and general users the access to multiples data bases and even to cross information and obtain the results, of the search, almost immediately, and even the computer may “suggest” how we can use the results of the search more appropriately.
……. Remember that your comments are valuable for us.
