10 Quantum Computing Applications & Examples to Know

Quantum computing (QC) has often felt like a theoretical concept due to the many hurdles researchers must clear. Chief among them is upping the number of qubits, or the units of information that these impressive pieces of hardware use to perform tasks. Whereas classical computer “bits” exist as 1s or 0s, qubits can be either — or both simultaneously. That’s key to massively greater processing speeds, which are necessary to simulate molecular-level quantum mechanics.

10 Quantum Computing Applications to Know

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Better batteries
  • Cleaner fertilization
  • Cybersecurity
  • Drug development
  • Electronic materials discovery
  • Financial modeling
  • Solar capture
  • Traffic optimization
  • Weather forecasting and climate change

But quantum computers are inching closer to reality, thanks to Microsoft focusing on another key issue. Microsoft and Quantinuum have figured out a way to check qubit errors without altering a quantum computer’s environment, signaling a new era in quantum computing. 

Quantum computers have a reputation for being unreliable since even the most minute changes can create ‘noise’ that makes it difficult to get accurate results, if any. The discovery by Microsoft and Quantinuum addresses this problem and reignites the heated race between top tech companies like Microsoft, Google and IBM to conquer quantum computing.

Munich, Germany. Infineon Technologies AG introduced its new PSOC Edge MCU family consisting of the E81, E83, and E84 heightened for machine learning (ML) applications and delivering a scalable range of performance, features, and memory possibilities. The three MCUs support a variety of peripheral sets, on chip memory, hardware security features, and a variety of connectivity options including USB HS/FS with PHY CAN, Ethernet, WiFi 6, BTBLE, and Matter.

The PSOC Edge E81 utilizes ARM Helium DSP technology, while the E83 and E84 leverage the Arm Ethos-U55 micro-NPU processor providing a 480x enhancement in ML performance when juxtaposed with general Cortex-M systems. All solutions support the Infineon NNlite neural network accelerator for ML applications in the low-power compute domain.

Ideal applications for the PSOC Edge E8x are Human Machine Interface (HMI) in appliances and industrial devices, smart home, security systems, robotics, and wearables. The E83 and E84 MCUs deliver advanced competences for HMI implementations, including ML-based wake-up, vision-based position detection, and face/object recognition. The PSOC Edge E84 series adds low-power graphics display (up to 1028×768). All three support voice/audio sensing for activation and control.

Implementing sensor technology applications for workplace health promotion: a needs assessment among workers with physically demanding work

Background

Workers with physically demanding work may be exposed to various occupational hazards when performing their daily work activities. During the past decades, many studies have shown that exposures such as pushing, pulling and heavy lifting [1‐3], bending and twisting [1], adopting awkward postures [2, 4], long working hours [5‐7], shift work [8], job control [9, 10] and exposure to occupational noise [11] and hazardous substances and fumes [12, 13] are linked with occupational health outcomes, such as work-related musculoskeletal disorders [2, 4, 10], hearing loss [11, 14], cancer [12] or cardiovascular disease [5, 6, 11, 12]. Certain occupational hazards impose increased risks for occupational injuries, illnesses or other adverse health outcomes which can result in unsafe work practices [14] and productivity loss [15]. When workers are affected by illness or injuries, this may result into (long-term) sickness absence [1, 3, 8, 9, 13], work disability [16] and premature exit from

Mother helps her kids with remote learning on laptop computers

  • A Human Legal rights Watch report explained 89% of remote-understanding platforms it reviewed spied on little ones.

  • The platforms collected private facts and some sent it to tech organizations for marketing functions.

  • Industry experts identified as for these companies to only acquire knowledge which is connected to online learning.

COVID-19 lockdowns compelled educational institutions close to the environment to shut, and young children moved on the net to continue on with their understanding. This may have compromised the information privacy of thousands and thousands of kids, in accordance to a new investigation.

Non-gain Human Rights Observe analyzed 164 on the web education platforms across 49 international locations, such as the US, British isles,  India, and China. It discovered that 89% of these possibly monitored or could check kids’ on the
