How Google's Sycamore Computer Could Change the World

• Sycamore is the name of Google's quantum computer. It has 53 qubits and is a superconducting quantum processor. Each qubit is around 0.2 millimeter across, large enough to be seen under a standard microscope.

• Sycamore was used to complete a calculation in 3 minutes and 20 seconds that would have taken 10,000 years for the world's most powerful supercomputer. The term "quantum supremacy" was coined to describe this accomplishment.


• Sycamore is still a very modest quantum computer, but it represents an important step toward developing a large-scale quantum computer capable of solving real-world issues. Google is still working on Sycamore and other quantum processors, as well as novel algorithms that can take use of quantum mechanics.


• Here are some examples of quantum computing applications:


Drug discovery: 

• Quantum computers could be used to replicate molecular behavior, allowing scientists to create novel medications more swiftly and efficiently.

Cryptography:

• Quantum computers could be used to break present encryption systems, potentially having a significant influence on cybersecurity.

Machine learning:

• Quantum computers could be used to train machine learning models that are far more powerful than traditional computers.

• Quantum computers' possible uses are still being investigated, although it is apparent that they have the potential to transform many different fields.

Gaganyaan Mission: India’s First Step to Human Spaceflight

Image
  Indian's journey in space exploration  • India has made amazing advances in space, from Mars exploration to lunar landings. Now, the country is set to take a huge step forward with the Gaganyaan mission, its first human spaceflight program.  • This historic endeavor will make India the fourth country to launch humans into space, after the United States, Russia, and China. What is the Gaganyaan mission?  Image Courtesy: ISRO, Wikipedia • The Gaganyaan mission, led by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), aims to send Indian astronauts (Vyomanauts) into space. The mission will deploy 2-3 humans in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), approximately 400 kilometers above Earth, for 5-7 days.  Mission Objectives   Image Courtesy: ISRO, Wikipedia • Send humans into space and return them safely. Create advanced technologies, such as life support systems and safe re-entry methods. Prepare India for future space missions, such as interplanetary exploration. Key Componen...

Extending Human Ability: The Fascinating World of the Third Thumb

Image
The third Thumb: • Designer Dani Clode has unveiled the Third Thumb, a 3D-printed thumb extender that has the potential to redefine the limits of human ability and enhancement. • The Third Thumb is a one-of-a-kind device that the user controls with his or her toes. This enables seamless interaction with the human hand, resulting in an intuitive and natural extension of the body.  • This project is more than simply a tool; it is an experience and research catalyst that calls into question our knowledge of prosthetics and augmentation. It makes us reevaluate what it means to be able-bodied, emphasizing the original meaning of the word " prosthesis " - not just to replace, but to add and extend. • The Third Thumb is currently being developed for neuroscientific research in partnership with the Plasticity Lab at University College London and Cambridge University.  • This study delves deeply into the mysteries of neuroplasticity, investigating how our brains can adapt to manage a...

The invention of time: Why do clock runs clockwise?

Image
• Time is a natural phenomenon, but the methods we use to measure and track it are human inventions. Humans invented timekeeping devices for a variety of reasons, including: • To plan and coordinate activities : It was difficult to coordinate operations that took place over long spans of time before the development of clocks and calendars. Farmers, for example, had to know when to grow and harvest crops, and merchants had to know when to send commodities. • To control religious rituals : Many religions do rituals at specified times of day or year. Muslims, for example, pray five times a day, while Christians celebrate Easter on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the spring equinox. • To keep track of the passage of time :  Humans have always been fascinated by the passage of time, and timepieces enable us to quantify and track how long things take. This can be useful for a variety of purposes, including event planning, appointment scheduling, and progress tracking...
