Your press review from Quantaneo

According to a study by Barclaycard, Barclays' credit card subsidiary, 20% of English CIOs would be willing to test or use quantum computing ! A percentage that seems quite high; just like the other data in the study... For example, the 35% of English CIOs who are already managing blockchain projects... It is up to each of you to make up your own minds. This study is coordinated by Keith Little, Chief Information Officer at Barclaycard.
 
Researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are working on quantum computing applied to certain fields, including chemistry. Studying how molecules interact is essential to the design of new tools for transporting and storing electricity. The more molecules to be studied, the more complex the calculation is, and the more useful quantum computing will prove to be. The PNNL and Microsoft have worked together to develop a library of chemical simulations, based on the Microsoft Quantum Development Kit.
 
Duncan Stewart, Deloitte technology leader, is interviewed by Tanya Ott on the latest technological trends. In this podcast, there is a lot of talk about quantum computing. In particular, it explains how in a few years' time we should (or should not) reach the stage of quantum supremacy, i.e. when a quantum computer will be able to perform a calculation faster and with fewer resources than a conventional computer.
