To date, quantum computers have been implemented so that programming their operation was, in essence, hardwired into their essential structure. Although many useful demonstrations of quantum computing ...

George Dyson has written a fascinating but flawed history of the computer. The son of the distinguished physicist Freeman Dyson, he was born in 1953 and as a child was witness to the world of ...

A few days ago, I blogged about the success of a research team at U.C. Santa Barbara in creating a quantum computing chip using von Neumann architecture - the type used in virtually all computers ...

Physicists in California claim to be the first to implement a quantum version of the “Von Neumann” architecture found in personal computers. Based on superconducting circuits and integrated on a ...

The cost associated with moving data in and out of memory is becoming prohibitive, both in terms of performance and power, and it is being made worse by the data locality in algorithms, which limits ...
