(I seem to remember, a few years ago, another such group claiming to have reached a similar quantum breakthrough. Nothing really came from it, though).
Importantly, the potential power of a quantum breakthrough will yield a potential exponential power law for applications such AI and cryptocurrency as computation times are dramatically diminished.
My message to CEOs is, envision how quantum breakthroughs will transform your industry, and how you can beat the competition to deliver the next breakthrough technology.
So we had a bizarre situation where we were telling the public that we weren't interested, but behind the scenes, our scientific and technical intelligence specialists were desperate for data, hoping that solving the UFO mystery might enable us to make a quantum leap breakthrough in propulsion system technology, aerodynamics or a related field.
Ideally, companies will be working toward quantum-leap breakthroughs that will positively impact the world, in addition to generating profits.
Harry (1998) defined Six Sigma as a strategic initiative to boost profitability, increase market share and improve customer satisfaction through statistical tools that can lead to breakthrough quantum gains in quality.
But, Kessler argues in his research, financial services firms, in particular, should be considering the use of quantum cryptography, since breakthroughs are currently happening in the mathematical world that could substantially weaken computationally based encryption schemes, like RSA.
In what could be a breakthrough for quantum computing, Harvard researchers combine two atoms for the first time into what researchers call a dipolar molecule.
As I write, a PhD student a few hundred yards from me is pondering how to make electrons float on superfluid helium, pursuing the next breakthrough in quantum computing.
James Bond may have had a psychological breakthrough, but Quantum and its evildoing is still as strong as ever, as are the nations that use it to do their bidding.
Early recipients included Marie and Pierre Curie, Paul Dirac and Albert Einstein, who worked at a time when individual scientists could make breakthroughs in quantum physics and relativity.
