ザナドゥ、オークリッジ国立研究所 先端量子コンピューティング研究

By

-- ザナドゥ・クアンタム・テクノロジーズ(XNDU.TO)は、米国エネルギー省オークリッジ国立研究所と提携し、量子コンピューティングの研究を推進すると、水曜日に発表した。 ザナドゥによると、この提携では、世界で最も先進的なコンピューティングシステムの一つであるスーパーコンピュータ「フロンティア」上で、ザナドゥのオープンソース量子ソフトウェアライブラリ「PennyLane」を活用する。 ザナドゥによれば、フロンティアおよびオークリッジ・リーダーシップ・ファシリティのユーザーは、PennyLaneの高性能シミュレータ「Lightning」を用いて、フロンティア・スーパーコンピュータ上で量子プログラムを直接記述・実行できるようになった。 ザナドゥは、フロンティア上でPennyLaneを実行できるようになったことで、研究者はより複雑な問題を探求し、小規模なシミュレーションでは見られないパフォーマンスのボトルネックを特定できるようになったと述べている。 「PennyLaneは、アクセスしやすいユーザーインターフェースを提供し、古典力学と量子力学を組み合わせたプログラムをサポートし、高性能シミュレータと統合することを目的として設計されました。これらはすべて、Frontierの古典力学スーパーコンピュータを補完する機能です」と、Xanaduの創設者兼最高経営責任者であるクリスチャン・ウィードブルック氏は述べています。

For now, the market's immediate focus remains on mediation efforts, with a reopening of the strait and a subsequent drop in oil prices representing the biggest short-term upside catalyst for both gold and silver," Saxo Bank noted.But higher rates are not yet on the way. The Federal Open Market Committee and the Bank of Canada will both release interest-rate decisions today and both are expected to leave rates steady.The dollar was higher, with the ICE dollar index last seen up 0.25 points to 98.89.
