Ep. 34 | The Latest from the Lab: How IBM Research Is Inventing What's Next
- Rss feed: https://eetech.libsyn.com/rss
- Interview with Dr. Jeffrey Welser
- VP of Exploratory Science at IBM Research
- IBM Release first 2nm chip this year
- Engineers vs Scientists and how they drive innovations
- Goal to replace the transistor when Moore's Law stops scaling
- Managing thermal loads
- Finding new structures and materials to control current
- Neural nets, image recognition and AI
- Quantum computing
- Discussion starts at 34:35 into the podcast
- Richard Feynman, Early 80's
- qubits
- superposition state
- "Spooky action at a distance"
- Encryption
- Need millions of qubits to break current encryption
- Only currently over 100 qubits
- At least a decade from having enough qubits
- Currently have classical systems that cannot be broken by quantum computers
- The math does not map onto a quantum system
- Currently working with NIST to create quantum safe cryptography
- Need millions of qubits to break current encryption
- Quantum chemistry
- Quantum chip - cooling and superconducting
- Dilution refrigerator
- Low temperature and pressure
- Top is 4 Kelvin, bottom gets to 15 milli Kelvin
