New video and podcast page
Since I do a lot of talking for a living, I’ve revamped my Videos and Podcasts page to include many more of the recordings I’ve done with folks over the last several years about quantum computing. Whatever else it is, it’s a gallery of strange frozen expressions on my face in the cover images.
From classical FLOPS to quantum CLOPS
This week IBM Quantum introduced a new quantum computing architecture-neutral performance speed metric called CLOPS. CLOPS is short for “Circuit Layer Operations per Second.” For those of you familiar with measuring the speed of high performance classical computers, the acronym is a nod to the metric FLOPS, or “Floating point Operations per Second.” CLOPS joins…
