IBM proves that quantum systems are faster than classicals

In 1994, MIT professor of applied mathematics Peter Shor developed a  groundbreaking quantum  computing algorithm capable of factoring numbers (that is, finding the prime numbers for any integer N) using quantum computer technology. For the next decade, this algorithm provided a tantalizing glimpse at the potential prowess of quantum computing versus classical systems. However, researchers could never prove quantum would always be faster in this application or whether classical systems could overtake quantum if given a sufficiently robust algorithm of its own. That is, until now. In a  paper published Thursday  in the journal Science, Dr. Sergey Bravyi and his team reveal that they've developed a mathematical proof which, in specific cases, illustrates the quantum algorithm's inherent computational advantages over classical. "It's good to know, because results like this become parts of algorithms," Bob Sutor, vice president of IBM Q Strategy and Ecosyste...

Oneplus confirms the 6T will have an in-screen fingerprint sensor.

Oneplus 6 Speaking in his native Mandarin, OnePlus' co-founder and CEO Pete Lau exudes a reserved persona, despite being only weeks away from unveiling the OnePlus 6T phone. Compared to the company's other co-founder, Carl Pei, Lau carries himself more formally. Though the two look unassuming in their own ways, Pei is often seen wearing cotton tees and clapping back on Twitter about free phone handouts and false product rumors. Meanwhile Lau, who is 14 years Pei's senior, mostly tweets about OnePlus industry news. It's this calm demeanor that betrays his nervousness inside -- something you wouldn't notice until Lau explicitly mentioned it when asked about the launch. "My feelings are, to best summarize, complex," said Lau through an interpreter. "It's a mix of both excitement and anxiety." Donning a black button-up and bespeckled navy blazer, he goes on to compare his feelings to when your own child is about to be born. Though the One...

Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin to Supply Engines for Vulcan Rocket

Blue Origin, the space company founded by Amazon.com Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos, has won a contract to supply engines for United Launch Alliance's massive Vulcan rocket, the companies said on Thursday. While Blue Origin has been seen as the front-runner for the contract for months, the win is a significant milestone for the Seattle-area aerospace company as it vies to become a player in the market for lucrative US military satellite launch contracts. Choosing Blue Origin's made-in-America BE-4 engine for the next-generation heavy-lift Vulcan launch vehicle is part of ULA's path to ending US reliance on Russia's RD-180 engine for national security missions. That engine currently provides the main power for ULA's legacy workhorse, Atlas V, which the Vulcan will eventually replace.

Microsoft, Amazon, Google Join Fight to Prevent Famine

Tech giants Microsoft, Amazon, and Google are joining forces with international organisations to help identify and head off famines in developing nations using data analysis and  artificial intelligence , a new initiative unveiled Sunday. Rather than waiting to respond to a famine after many lives already have been lost, the tech firms "will use the predictive power of data to trigger funding" to take action before it becomes a crisis, the World Bank and United Nations announced in a joint statement. "The fact that millions of people - many of them children - still suffer from severe malnutrition and famine in the 21st century is a global tragedy," World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim said in a statement. "We are forming an unprecedented global coalition to say, 'no more.'" Last year more than 20 million people faced famine conditions in Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan and Yemen, while 124 million people currently live in crisis levels ...

Things to consider before buying the new Macbook Pro 2018 (pros/cons)

This are what to consider before buying the new Macbook pro 2018 (pros/cons) The first thing am picking is the cons of this laptops because i believe A pple has always offer the best. Cons on the Apple Mackbook Pro 2018 Price Tag : This is a super expensive laptop that may break the bank for some people. This is just too expensive for a regular configuration except the newly used c.p.u ( intel core i9 ) Chassis: This is the frame of the laptop which I can say absorbs the heat from it going out to the outer part of the computer, but this is not a thing for the intel core i9 used in this laptop which heats up a lot more than expected which leads to throttling in the laptop
