Google Image Search Exploring Quantum Computing, Next Dimension
D-Wave Systems' Orion "adiabatic quantum computer" has existed as a prototype for several years and has attracted naught but skepticism from the scientific community. Fortunately Google has stepped up and put them to task with the development of a quantum image search algorithm to speed up complex pattern recognition calculations. Quantum computing has the potential to greatly decrease the size of a powerful computer by exploiting the quantum superposition principle. In traditional computing, a "bit" exists in a binary state as either a 1 or a 0, whereas the elementary quantum unit of information, known as a qubit, can exist in both states at once. While preliminary performance comparisons have been favorable, the jury is still out as to whether Google will be able to use this technology to condense their warehouse-sized server banks to a more pocket-friendly size.
Student Experts reminds you that operators will be on the line for advice and tech support for any and all computers up to 1.21 jiggawatts. It may be a few years until we are exploiting all possible quantum states of matter, but we will be there to assist with every system upgrade needed until man and machine are no longer separate. If you need help upgrading to Windows 7 or moving your data to your next computer, Student Experts has flexible and friendly technicians available to assist you at an affordable rate.
