A major challenge in quantum computing has been short lifespan of memory, or coherence, held in qubits, quantum’s version of a bit. To date, information is stored in qubits for microseconds or milliseconds. But a team of researchers at the Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago have reported two advances to overcome common […]The post Quantum: Argonne Reports Preservation of Qubit Memory for 5+ Seconds appeared first on insideHPC.

[SPONSORED CONTENT] Jay Boisseau, HPC & AI Technology Strategist at Dell Technologies and organizer of the Dell Technologies HPC Community meetings, is one of the big personalities of HPC, someone who brings energy and insight to any gathering he’s a part of. In this insideHPC interview conducted on behalf of Dell, we talk with Boisseau about his career path, including serving as director of the Texas Advanced Computing Center, about big shifts and future trends in HPC and about the phenomenon, where HPC and AI intersect, of data growth rates outpacing Moore’s Law. He also disc uses his strategy for infusing life into the HPC Community meetings in an era of “Zoom fatigue,” including drawing inspiration from The Art of Gathering by Priya Parker, who, as Boisseau points out, probably never dreamed of the Zoom era.The post Dell Technologies Interview: Dell’s Jay Boisseau on Data Growth Outpacing Moore’s Law, the HPC-AI Divide-Convergence and Beating Zoom Fatigue appeared first on insideHPC.
