How the super computing will develop, according to Jack Dongara

Interesting quantum computing. It is really a great search for search, but my feeling is that we have a long way. Today we have examples of quantum computers – tremors always arrive before the program – but these examples are very primitive. With a digital computer, we think about making an account and getting an answer. Instead, the quantum computer will give us a possibility for the place where the answer is located, you will create a number, and we will start it on the quantum computer, and it will give you a number of potential solutions to the problem, but it will not give you the answer. So it will be different.

With quantum computing, did we fall into a moment of noise?

Unfortunately, I think it was excessive – there is a lot of noise associated with the quantity. As a result, people are usually enthusiastic about that, and then do not rise to any of the promises made, and then the excitement will collapse.

We have seen this before: Artificial intelligence has gone through this course and regained. Now, Amnesty International is a real thing. People use it, it is a product, and it will serve a purpose for all of us in a very big way. I think Quantum should pass through this winter, where people will be discouraged, and they will ignore it, after which there will be some drinks who discover how to use it and how to make it so that it is more competitive with traditional things.

There are many issues that must be resolved. Quantum computers are very easy. They will have a lot of “errors” – they will collapse due to the nature of the fragility of the account. Until we can make things more resistant to these failures, it will not do the job that we hope you can do. I don’t think we will have a laptop, which is a quantum laptop. I may be wrong, but I certainly don’t think it will happen in my life.

Quantum computers also need quantum algorithms, and today we have very few algorithms that can be operated effectively on a quantum computer. So quantum computing is in its cradle, in addition to the infrastructure that will use the quantum computer. So quantum algorithms, quantum programs, and the techniques we have, are all very primitive.

When can we expect – if any – the transition from traditional to quantum systems?

So today we have many super computing centers around the world, and they have very strong computers. These are digital computers. Sometimes the digital computer is increased by something to enhance performance – accelerated. Today these expedited people are graphics processing units, graphics processing units. GPU does something very good, and he does this thing well, I was thrown to do so. In the old days, that was important for graphics; Today we live this so that we can use the graphics processing unit to meet some of our mathematical needs.
