Using these collaborations, the NASA Advanced Supercomputing facility’s resources, and expertise in quantum computing, Ames works to evaluate the potential of quantum computing for NASA missions. Some say that annealing quantum computers are “limited” to optimization applications. But when you think about it, what endeavor is more urgent across organizations than getting the best possible return on the investment of resources? When a developer accesses quantum-classical hybrid solvers through the cloud, they don’t have to address that quantum annealing system directly. Instead they can rely on a front line of classical computing that shunts the appropriate portions of the workload… Read More
