New Quantum-Powered AI Exoskeleton Lets One Person Do the Work of Four https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2016/09/new-quantum-powered-ai-exoskeleton-lets-one-person-do-the-work-of-four Sat, 01 Oct 2016 04:48:39 +0000 http://lifeboat.com/blog/2016/09/new-quantum-powered-ai-exoskeleton-lets-one-person-do-the-work-of-four

As the saying goes, “If you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself,” and it seems that you’ll soon be able to get a lot more done using artificially intelligent, high-tech exoskeleton Kindred. It’s the product of a startup created by quantum computing company D-Wave’s founder Geordie Rose, and according to the venture capital firm funding Kindred, the device “uses AI-driven robotics so that one human worker can do the work of four.”

Based on a patent application, the wearable system is envisioned as a 1.2-meter tall humanoid that may be covered with synthetic skin. It will include a head-mounted display and an exo-suit of sensors and actuators that carries out everyday tasks.

Essentially, it looks something like Spider-Man’s Doctor Octopus on the outside, but on the inside, Kindred utilizes quantum computation, a way of information processing and storage that is much faster and more powerful than that used by conventional computers. Data “learned” by the suit can be taught to other robots, allowing those robots to then perform the tasks autonomously.

Motion-directed robots on a micro scale https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2016/09/motion-directed-robots-on-a-micro-scale Sat, 01 Oct 2016 04:48:27 +0000 http://lifeboat.com/blog/2016/09/motion-directed-robots-on-a-micro-scale

Phototactic behaviour directs some bacteria towards light and others into darkness: This enables them to utilize solar energy as efficiently as possible for their metabolism, or, otherwise, protects them from excessive light intensity. A team of researchers headed by Clemens Bechinger from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and the University of Stuttgart, as well as colleagues from the University of Düsseldorf have now found a surprisingly simple way to direct synthetic microswimmers towards light or darkness. Their findings could eventually lead to minuscule robots that seek out and treat lesions in the human body.

First ever scalable quantum computer developed by scientists https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2016/09/first-ever-scalable-quantum-computer-developed-by-scientists Sat, 01 Oct 2016 04:17:15 +0000 http://lifeboat.com/blog/2016/09/first-ever-scalable-quantum-computer-developed-by-scientists

Scientists all around the world are working towards making the quantum computing a reality for past few years as it will bring another revolution in the world of technology. Quantam computers are thousands of times faster and way smaller than the conventional computing devices as they use photons to do computing and are also compatible with fibre optics.

A team of researchers from the University of Innsbruck in Austria claims that they have invented world’s first scalable quantum computer. Although the device is still several years behind coming to reality but still scientists consider it as a giant leap towards bringing quantum computers into people’s hands.

From hypothetical models in last decade to practical models now is promising. Former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates believes that we will make quantum computers by next decade. This promising, complex technology may soon amplify the capabilities of today’s computers, which will greatly benefit science and business organizations by helping them work faster and more efficiently. Quantum computers are next step of computers and they can solve problems with ease which are nearly impossible for computers and supercomputers of current generation.

Modern Jedi Physicists Freeze Light In Mid-Air: Bringing Quantum Computers Closer To Reality https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2016/09/modern-jedi-physicists-freeze-light-in-mid-air-bringing-quantum-computers-closer-to-reality Sat, 01 Oct 2016 04:17:01 +0000 http://lifeboat.com/blog/2016/09/modern-jedi-physicists-freeze-light-in-mid-air-bringing-quantum-computers-closer-to-reality

“It’s clear that the light is trapped — there are photons circulating around the atoms,” Everett says. “The atoms absorbed some of the trapped light, but a substantial proportion of the photons were frozen inside the atomic cloud.”

Co-researcher Geoff Campbell from ANU explained that while photons commonly pass by each other at the speed of light without any interactions, atoms interact with each other more freely.

“Corralling a crowd of photons in a cloud of ultra-cold atoms creates more opportunities for them to interact,” Campbell says.

Quantum research race lights up the world https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2016/09/quantum-research-race-lights-up-the-world Sat, 01 Oct 2016 04:16:46 +0000 http://lifeboat.com/blog/2016/09/quantum-research-race-lights-up-the-world

The race towards quantum computing is heating up. Faster, brighter, more exacting – these are all terms that could be applied as much to the actual science as to the research effort going on in labs around the globe.

Quantum technologies are poised to provide exponentially stronger computational power and secured communications. But the bar is high – advances are hard won and competition is intense.

At the forefront of the candidates to implement such technologies is the field of quantum photonics, particularly light sources that emit photons one at a time to be used as carriers of information.
