TL;DR;
Starting with IBM in 2016, more and more big industry players and startups have been providing cloud-access to quantum computers (Quantum Computing as a Service), along with related quantum software development kits, whether developed in-house or through strategic partnerships. Among others are Alibaba, D-Wave, Rigetti, AWS, Microsoft, and Xanadu.
VCs have been selectively increasing their investment in quantum computing startups. At the same time, they can not be sure who will be the winner(s), especially on the foundation hardware technologies to build the basic quantum computation unit, the qubit.

Teleportation and the reality in Quantum Mechanics

Andi Sama — CIO, Sinergi Wahana Gemilang

TL;DR: Object teleportation is still just science-fiction as demonstrated in the Star Trek movie. However, quantum information teleportation is possible, conforming to the laws of quantum mechanics.

When mentioning Teleportation, our imagination may go as wild as Star Trek’s transporter platform's ability to beam objects from one location to another. The first teleportation appeared in “the original Star Trek series,” pilot episode “The Cage,“ completed in early 1965 (Wikipedia, 2020d).

Well, hold your breath — the reality is not as wild as our imagination like in…

The Power of Artificial Intelligence for Precision Marketing

Andi Sama — CIO, Sinergi Wahana Gemilang with Saptarina.

TLDR: The application of Artificial Intelligence, implemented by Netflix for recommending the next movies to watch, based on previous viewing activities.

2020 may not be the year for many of us expect to be. We can not do activities as we used to be. Planned family vacations have been postponed, and physical events have been mostly converted to virtual. Worldwide regional and global face to face conferences & exhibitions have also been canceled and rescheduled with no clear target dates even for 2021.

Quantum Advantage, adalah kondisi yang secara potensial menempatkan kemampuan suatu quantum computer jauh melebihi kemampuan supercomputer konvensional yang paling canggih sekalipun. IBM memprediksi bahwa titik awal menuju Quantum Advantage akan terjadi di tahun 2023, dengan rencana diluncurkannya IBM Quantum Computer berbasis 1121 qubit (IBM, 2020f).

Komputer berbasis kuantum yang ditujukan untuk melakukan problem solving untuk hal-hal yang bersifat sangat kompleks inilah yang sedang aktif dikembangkan oleh IBM, salah satunya di pusat riset IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights…
