I am sure many of us have heard of quantum computers and how this will make our current computers look like stone age knifes. Well IBM has announced the world's fastest quantum computer! The following is from interestingengineering.com and written by Deena Theresa:
"IBM unveiled its most powerful quantum computer to date at the IBM Summit 2022 on Wednesday. Named "Osprey," the 433 qubit processor has the largest qubit count of any IBM processor and is triple the size of the company's previously record-breaking 127-qubit Eagle processor.
"The new 433 qubit 'Osprey' processor brings us a step closer to the point where quantum computers will be used to tackle previously unsolvable problems," said Dr. Darío Gil, senior vice president of IBM and Director of Research.
According to the release, the Osprey processor can run complex quantum computations way beyond the computational capability of any other classical computer. "For reference, the number of classical bits that would be necessary to represent a state on the IBM Osprey processor far exceeds the total number of atoms in the known universe," the statement said.
The company highlighted that it was on track to deliver Condor, the world's first universal quantum computer with more than 1,000 qubits, in 2023.
Osprey contains a multi-wiring system and a new gen of control electronics
The company developed its first quantum computer on the cloud in 2016. The device had five quantum bits - all of which were superconducting circuits. It debuted the 27-qubit Falcon in 2019, the 65-qubit Hummingbird in 2020, and the 127-qubit Eagle in 2021.
IEEE Spectrum reported that both Eagle and Osprey have separated wires and other components required for readout and control. According to the publication, this multi-level wiring helps the processor to incorporate fragile qubits from disruption.
"We probably didn't need all that technology to deploy a 100-qubit device, but doing all that helped set up Osprey and Condor," Oliver Dial, IBM Quantum's chief hardware architect, told IEEE Spectrum. "We now have the technology in hand to go way beyond 100 qubits."
Dial mentioned two major advantages Osprey possessed over Eagle outside the chip: One is replacing the quantum chandelier of microwave cables IBM used with its previous quantum processors with flexible ribbon cables, and the other is a new generation of the control electronics that send and receive microwave signals to and from the quantum processor.
The aforementioned flexible ribbon cables are adapted to cryogenic environments - their characteristics led to a 77 percent increase in the number of connections leading to the chip. "Basically, almost twice as many wires which will help IBM scale up its quantum computers," said Dial.
Reducing the cost is necessary to scale up
The new processor's control electronics include a cryo-CMOS controller chip that was implemented using a 14-nanometer FinFET technology that runs at roughly 4 Kelvin (-269.15 degrees C).
It employs an application-specific integrated circuit design that is less bulky and power-hungry than previous field-programmable gate array approaches. "Instead of about 100 watts per qubit like we needed before, we only need about ten milliwatts, so we can fit far more qubits onto a chip," Dial said, as it uses an application-specific integrated circuit design that is less bulky than previous approaches.
All these improvements "have reduced cost, which is an important consideration as we scale up. "With our first generation of five and 20 qubit devices, we needed an entire rack of control electronics, and with Eagle, we saw 40 qubits per rack. Now we can control more than 400 qubits with one rack of equipment," said Dial.
"We are continuously scaling up and advancing our quantum technology across hardware, software, and classical integration to meet the biggest challenges of our time in conjunction with our partners and clients worldwide. This work will prove foundational for the coming era of quantum-centric supercomputing," added Gil."
One day soon we will break 1,000 qbits and that will be amazing! It is still amazing even at 433 qbits. With Condor, the world's first universal quantum computer with more than 1,000 qubits, in 2023 we will be there and what will be the next bench mark? Amazing stuff!

I have lost a lot of faith with the Medical Community and the Governments over the last several years, but there are a few good things that can raise above the corruption and the pushing of drugs a new approach to heal people. The following is from www.gaia.com and written by Hunter Parsons that does not involve any drug or pushing an ineffective so called vaccine that the drug company is not held accountable in any way but they use sound! The use of sound can regrow bone tissue! Here is the story:
"The future of regenerative medicine could be found within sound healing by regrowing bone cells with sound waves.
The use of sound as a healing modality has an ancient tradition all over the world. The ancient Greeks used sound to cure mental disorders; Australian Aborigines reportedly use the didgeridoo to heal; and Tibetan or Himalayan singing bowls were, and still are, used for spiritual healing ceremonies.
Recently, a study showed an hour-long sound bowl meditation reduced anger, fatigue, anxiety, and ...
Not a fan of a Defense Agency studying Anti-Gravity and other Exotic Tech, but if the commercial world and make this technology cheap that will change our world yet again. The following is about three minute read and from www.gaia.com. The below was written by Hunter Parsons:
"Wormholes, invisibility cloaks, and anti-gravity — it’s not science fiction, it’s just some of the exotic things the U.S. government has been researching.
A massive document dump by the Defense Intelligence Agency shows some of the wild research projects the United States government was, at least, funding through the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program known as AATIP.
And another lesser-known entity called the Advanced Aerospace Weapons System Application Program or AAWSAP
The Defense Intelligence Agency has recently released a large number of documents to different news outlets and individuals who have filed Freedom of Information Act requests.
Of particular interest are some 1,600 pages released to Vice News, which ...
As our technology gets better we are discovering more about the history of mankind and pushing the timeline back further and further. The following article is from www.gaia.com and written by Michael Chary that discusses this new find that changes the historical timeline:
"Over the past decade, there have been a number of archeological revelations pushing back the timeline of human evolution and our ancient ancestors’ various diasporas. Initially, these discoveries elicit some resistance as archeologists bemoan the daunting prospect of rewriting the history books, though once enough evidence is presented to established institutions, a new chronology becomes accepted.
But this really only pertains to the era of human development that predates civilization — the epochs of our past in which we were merely hunter-gatherers and nomads roaming the savannahs. Try challenging the consensus timeline of human civilization and it’s likely you’ll be met with derision and rigidity.
Conversely, someone of an alternative...
Not sure if you have heard of a show on YouTube called "The Why Files". If not you should check it out it is interesting and has some humor with it on different subjects. Last weeks was on a different theory how the Universe works and how main stream Science is attempting to shut it down like is always seems to do if it goes aguest some special interest. Today it is akin to what happened to those who questioned the Earth was the Center of the Universe that main stream so called Science all believed during the Renaissance period, They called any theory that the Earth was not the Center of the Universe misinformation. Does this sound familiar today? People laughed and mocked people like Leonardo da Vinci, Nicolaus Copernicus, Georg Purbach as crack-pots, conspiracy theorists, nut-jobs and they were suppressed and even imprisoned for their radical thoughts and observations. Again it sounds like today in so many ways. In any event this is a good one to ponder and see even if a bad idea ...
Seemingly chaotic systems like the weather and the financial markets are governed by the laws of chaos theory.
We all have heard about chaos theory, but if you have not or have forgotten what chaos theory is well here you go from interestingengineering.com:
"Chaos theory deals with dynamic systems, which are highly sensitive to initial conditions, making it almost impossible to track the resulting unpredictable behavior. Chaos theory seeks to find patterns in systems that appear random, such as weather, fluid turbulence, and the stock market.
Since the smallest of changes can lead to vastly different outcomes, the long-term behavior of chaotic systems is difficult to predict despite their inherently deterministic nature.
As Edward Lorenz, who first proposed what became commonly known as the Butterfly Effect, eloquently said, "Chaos: When the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future.""
You may have heard the term about chaos theory as a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil,...
I for one have lost trust in Medical Doctors due to COVID and reflection that they seem to push pills for everything and untested so called vaccines that is using a unproven technology because the Government and the Medical Boards of the State told them to. There are a very few exceptions. Thus they do not address the key problem just prescribe more and more pills to keep you alive an sick longer for them and Big Phama to profit from you. Will AI do any better? Well that depends on what was used for the training of AI. If it also pushes pills and vaccines without question then you have the same problems noted above. However, if the AI Training includes all possible forms of treatment and they zero in on the right issues for the true problem then there is possibilities they would be way better than most of the current Medical Doctors today.
The following is from an article from interestingengineering.com and written by Paul Ratner:
