The current resource-hogging generative AI technologies could run into a wall, prompting many companies to look for more efficient compute. Some are on the bleeding edge: See the “food for thought” item below. But others are already well underway on a number of fronts, such as Multiverse Computing, which is using quantum computing-inspired software for AI model training, as well as Efficient Compute, Neural Magic, Taalas and, not least, Groq, the current hot thing in chatbots thanks to its ultrafast language-optimized custom processor.
"The real idea was, OK, we have AI systems that are expensive to train — they are large and so on, and could we just prepare something that is not only smaller, because you have to fit the system somewhere, but also consumes less energy,” said Enrique Lizaso (pictured), co-founder and chief executive officer of Multiverse Computing. “We analyzed the problem and said, ‘Yes, this is a particular problem that fits into quantum computing.’ Then, at some point … somebody inside the company suggested, ‘OK, we have done that in the manufacturing line … can we apply that to LLMs?'"

While France’s high-tech cheerleading can sometimes strike a nationalistic tone, it is not taking an isolationist approach to quantum computing. French researchers formed a coalition with their quantum colleagues across Europe to apply for money from the EU’s Quantum Flagship programme. That has already led one of Germany’s national supercomputing centres JUWELS to purchase PASQAL’s technology. “Participating in European projects allows for greater ambition,” Mehr says, “because we then receive co-funding from Europe. But it's also a good way for us to expose these French devices to European research and industrial communities. That makes things a bit more collaborative.” Spain’s Multiverse Computing, which is developing quantum computing software, and Finland’s IQM have also opened offices in Paris. That makes them eligible for support under the French quantum plan.
GPT-4, PaLM, Claude, Bard, LaMDA, LLaMA, Chinchilla, Sparrow – the list of large-language models on the market continues to grow. But behind their remarkable capabilities, users are discovering substantial costs. While LLMs offer tremendous potential, understanding their economic implications is crucial for businesses and individuals considering their adoption.

The European Union (EU) stands on the leading edge of the quantum industry. This is one of the most promising industries of the future, with a projected market size of $106 billion by 2040. Yet its current global leadership position is under significant threat. As detailed by the European Quantum Industry Consortium (QuIC), the continued development and future competitiveness of the EU's quantum startups and scaleups are being imperiled by regulatory hurdles inherent in the financial models required by European funding institutions. These weaknesses jeopardize the unlocking of Europe's full quantum potential at a critical point in its evolution.
The first winners of a £15 million competition to explore the benefits of using quantum technologies in the government’s work across areas like health, transport and net zero have been announced today (7 September). The Quantum Catalyst Fund aims to accelerate the adoption of quantum solutions by the public sector and will ensure the UK government is well-placed to fully harness the benefits of using these technologies across a range of policy areas. Quantum technologies – one of the government’s five critical technologies – are devices and systems using quantum mechanics to provide capabilities that ‘classical’ machines like binary computers cannot.

Our CIO 100 Award Winning Project Our submission to the CIO 100 showcased a proof-of-concept (POC) with vendors Protiviti and Multiverse Computing to help Ally develop computing capabilities that solve challenges using both classical and quantum computing power. Ally sees value in preparing to be ‘at the ready’ as quantum computing machines become more powerful. The project centered on financial index tracking, an essential application of portfolio optimization used by financial firms for asset management strategies or for creating and managing new financial products such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs). A POC is a smart choice for a team looking to invest wisely in quantum computing because it allows safe experimentation and testing that could eventually be deployed to customers. While there’s no current plan to deploy this capability to Ally customers, it allows the technology team to solve complex problems and run tests in a controlled environment, which is critical for accelerating innovation.

The number of VC-funded quantum startups in Europe is growing fast, with many making bold claims that their technology could one day revolutionise the world economy. Yet it's still difficult to answer one fundamental thing: what can quantum computers actually do? For now, the quantum computing industry remains in what's known as the NISQ era — Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum — in which error rates and the limited size of quantum processors significantly limit the power of quantum computers. A fully fledged quantum computer, which would be able to solve complex calculations unmanageable for today’s supercomputers, is still years away.
