When basic research presses against boundaries of existing bodies of knowledge, new multi-disciplinary fields of study and breakthrough applications can arise as a result. That appears to be happening in an area of quantum computing associated with the Coherent Ising Machine (CIM). While it takes an expert to follow this research in detail, business leaders […]

It’s not too early to begin thinking about quantum computing use cases, as NTT President and CEO Kazuhiro Gomi suggests in his most recent article in Forbes. The first task is to consider the different approaches. One involves the use of quantum gates, and one particular quantum-gate approach uses the approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA). And
