I did my thesis on Neural Networks and have been following up on the updates in technology, and because of COVID-19, the adoption of new technology and the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) has been accelerated.
In 2004, I started a nanotechnology company called Greenyarn and I’ve several friends at MIT who were involved in MIT.nano. One of the fields that excite me a lot is — quantum computing.
Along with my passion of writing SCI-FI and researching some of the latest technology, it is important for me to know the technology and get it right. I’ve came across some applications and read a lot of news on the progress of IBM, Google, Microsoft and D-Wave and there are more companies getting into this field.
If you don’t know much about Quantum Computing, let me give you some background.
Industrial Revolution
1IR —The First Industrial Revolution used water and steam power to mechanize production. (Steam Punk)
2IR — The Second Industrial Revolution used electric power to create mass production. (Factories/Industrial Age)
3IR — The Third Industrial Revolution used electronics and information technology to automate production.
