Quantum Computing: The Eye-Catching Technology

Quantum computing is the latest eye-catching technology that has been largely adapted by cloud providers such AWS and Microsoft. Classical computers process information that is in binary form whose metric is in bits, whereas quantum computer process information based on quantum theory and measured in qubits.
Quantum computing devices use the quantum powered superposition and entanglement principle to transform data into information. The technology is widely used in research institutions, start-ups and large tech companies like Microsoft, Intel, Google and IBM.
Unlike the classical computers, the devices are very powerful with the ability to solve complex computational problems and use less power. Microsoft has taken quantum cloud to another level by developing Azure Quantum which is a public cloud system dedicated to quantum applications.
The application is currently available for public preview as the Redmond giant urged developers to start using the platform for building and testing applications related to quantum technologies. Previously Azure Quantum had been limited in preview and only accessible to developers from a few selected companies.
Since its release, experiments have been conducted in different disciplines like financial modeling, materials design and traffic optimization. Azure Quantum will act as a one-stop shop for both hardware and software resources that are essential in building quantum applications.
The application will enable computer programmers to use their software packages to write algorithms and codes in Q# programming language that could be implemented on quantum development kit (QDK). Quantum algorithms could be run and tested using QDK.
Quantum computing has been widely used in the following companies: IBM, Google, IBM, Alibaba, D-Waves, Airbus, Intel, Toshiba, Nokia, Volgswagen, Biogen, SK Telecom and Raytheon.

How Musk's Neuralink Blindsight will allow the blind to see

  Scientists are still stunned by Elon Musk's plan to enable blind people to see, using his Neurolink's Brain Computer Interface chip dubbed Blindsight. Neurolink has already partnered with top Spanish scientists and US Santa Barbara to make a device called Blindsight, a smart Bionic Eye powered by brain implants and AI. Blindsight got the approval of the US Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA), though there have been no human trials. Musk confided that Neurolink will perform its first human implant of Blindsight at the course of 2025. Will Neurolink's Blindsight allow Blind People to see? Blindsight is designed to enable people with total visual impairment, as a result of damaged optic nerve but with intact visual cortex, to see. This is enhanced by bypassing the optic nerve and stimulating the visual cortex to create a visual perception. Visual cortex is part of the brain that receives, integrates and processes visual information relayed from the retina.  Blindsigh...

How Human Brain will replace Smartphones in communication

Elon Musk envisiges a future where smartphones are obsolete and communication happens directly through the brain.  According to Musk, Neuralink the brain-computer interface that his company is developing, could eventually replace phones entirely. Imagine navigating the internet, sending and receiving text messages, or even making calls, all with just your thoughts. This sounds like fictional science. However, Musk believes the integration of humans and artificial intelligence is a necessary mileage for human evolution.  Neuralink’s potential extends far beyond convenience; it could disrupt the field of medicine, communication and the way we interact with technology forever. The future Musk envisions is not just coming, it's already in the pipeline. NEURALINK will make Smartphones completely obsolete. Neuralink is a company that was found by billionaire Elon Musk and develops brain-computer interface technology. Its goal is to connect the human brain to computers so as t...

Why President Ruto risks being impeached

President William Ruto is treading a dangerous political path. His recent allegations over bribery in parliament might hound him out of office. The president has found himself in a political quagmire over his public expose on rampant graft in parliament. Legislators drawn from the National Assembly and the Senate were astounded by the manner in which the Head of State exposed their nakedness in the public gallery, instead of initiating prosecution process with the relevant mandated authorities. Majority of MPs were of the opinion that the president should have prosecuted his case with the relevant bodies established by the Constitution tasked to deal with corruption cases. National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula and his Senate counterpart Amazon Kingi have been directed by a section of MPs to summon the president to shed more light over his aspersions or risk being impeached. Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang' and his Nairobi colleague Edwin Sifuna were irritated by what they...
