Honeywell’s quantum-computing business could be worth $20 billion
Wolfe Research analyst sees Quantinuum getting a similar valuation boost as IonQ, which has seen its stock price jump 225% this year Honeywell International Inc.’s quantum-computing business Quantinuum stands out as a bright spot in the potential breakup of the industrial conglomerate, an analyst said Tuesday. HON-2.69%focused on its vast aerospace unit in its announcement Monday that it may break itself up after pressure from $5 billion-stakeholder Elliott Management, the company also houses Quantinuum, which bills itself as the world’s largest integrated quantum company. Corporate Partners The Chicago Quantum Exchange partners with industry colleagues to accelerate progress in the field of quantum information. Corporate partners collaborate with CQE scientists and expand career opportunities for the next generation of quantum-ready scientists and engineers. Together, they advance technology that can change the world. The CQE works with each corporate partner to develop individually tailored engagements that fulfill scientific, educational, and industry needs. Engaging with Quantum Experts Corporate partners join a strong community of scientists and trainees that are at the forefront of quantum communication, computing, and sensing. Corporate partners and CQE members co-develop joint workshops, participate in seminars and the annual Chicago Quantum Summit, and engage in discussions that lead to collaborative science and engineering research. Training Future Quantum Scientists and Engineers Partners connect with CQE students and trainees, providing them with a deeper understanding of and connections to quantum research and employment opportunities outside of academic and national lab settings. Examples include a partnership with IBM for postdoctoral researchers to work closely…

Chicago Wants to Build the Silicon Valley of Quantum Computing
IBM and partners including the University of Chicago and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign will build the first ever national algorithm center for quantum computing in the city’s South Side, the company said in a statement on Thursday. The state will provide a $25 million grant that will help purchase equipment for the IBM project. The announcement comes five months after PsiQuantum Corp. said it would invest more than $1 billion to become the anchor tenant at Pritzker’s quantum campus. The billionaire governor, who has been trying to turn Illinois into a hub for new technologies, set aside $500 million for quantum as part of the budget passed earlier this year. “This is first of its kind for us,” Jay Gambetta, IBM vice president of quantum, said in an interview. “What made us choose Chicago is honestly the talent in computer scientists — you have so many computer scientists that graduate from the schools here, as well as applied mathematicians and physicists. And then you’ve also got many industries that are potential early adopters of quantum computing.” Quantum computers — which rely on “qubits” and can store data in multiple forms: ones, zeros, both, or something in between — are exponentially more powerful than their binary counterparts. Companies including IBM are trying to crack the technology, but skeptics have cast doubt over whether it will ever replace classical computers. The initial investment will be “in the tens of millions” and maybe reach the “low hundreds” in the next two years,…

The Scientific Experiment That Revealed What God Is (without wanting to)
In this video, we delve into the famous double-slit experiment, which not only revolutionized modern physics but also raised profound philosophical and spiritual questions. The discovery that observation alters the behavior of matter challenges us to reflect on the nature of reality and the connection between consciousness and the universe. The experiment bridges science with spiritual traditions that have discussed the nature of perception and reality for millennia. Double-slit experiment – from Wikipedia:If light consisted strictly of ordinary or classical particles, and these particles were fired in a straight line through a slit and allowed to strike a screen on the other side, we would expect to see a pattern corresponding to the size and shape of the slit. However, when this “single-slit experiment” is actually performed, the pattern on the screen is a diffraction pattern in which the light is spread out. The smaller the slit, the greater the angle of spread. The top portion of the image shows the central portion of the pattern formed when a red laser illuminates a slit and, if one looks carefully, two faint side bands. More bands can be seen with a more highly refined apparatus. Diffraction explains the pattern as being the result of the interference of light waves from the slit. If one illuminates two parallel slits, the light from the two slits again interferes. Here the interference is a more pronounced pattern with a series of alternating light and dark bands. The width of the bands is a property of the frequency of the illuminating…
