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 Human Noise Kills Marine Species, as revealed by Scientists

Scientists have warned that the discord of noise made by humans is harming marine species . A comprehensive assessment revealed that large noise from human activities was as harmful as pollution, overfishing and climate change . The study that was conducted by the Journal Science exposed how marine animals can hear from far distances than they can see or smell. According to a report published in the Guardian, most of the marine life uses sound to catch prey as well as attracting a mating partner. Prof Carlos Duarte of King Abdullah University in Saudi Arabia argued that: “Marine animal can only sea up to around 10 meters, smell up to around a hundred meters, but they can hear across the entire ocean basins.” The research concluded that sound “is very important in the marine ecosystems, and noise is pervasive, affecting animals at all levels .” The increasing cacophony in the marine habitat is interfering with how marine animals respond to various survival...

Why Ruto will heavily rely on Mudavadi, Joho in his reelection bid

When Kenya president William Ruto was almost overwhelmed with gen z revolt, his landmark decision was to dismiss the entire cabinet. This occurred immediately after his refusal to sign the Finance Bill 2024/2025. Ruto endeavored to reconstitute a new cabinet, dubbed broad-based executive. He incorporated key opposition figures drawn from the ODM Party - a move that appeased the doyen of opposition Raila Amollo Odinga. Cabinet Secretaries drawn from ODM included: Hassan Ali Joho, Wycliffe Ambetsa Oparanya, John Mbadi Ng'onga and James Opiyo Wandayi. ODM is as good as dead, and Raila's age factor limits him from flying the Party's presidential flag again and has opted out by contesting as Africa Union Commission (AUC) chairman. President Ruto will heavily rely on two members of his cabinet in his reelection bid. Both Musalia Mudavadi and Hassan Ali Joho are billionaires going by their own assertion while appearing before the Parliamentary Committee on Appointments. President...
