Week 2 Posting - BSIT200 - Quantum Computing and Deltaflow.OS
This week we did a little deeper of a dive into Operating Systems and User Interfaces. In that same respect I had been reading about a new Operating System called Deltaflow.OS (Deltaflow-on-ARTIQ) which was designed by a Cambridge University startup called Riverlane.
“Quantum computers store information in the form of qubits,
which can exist in two different information states at the same time.”
Quantum Computers are getting their very own Operating System, but it won’t be like the OSes that we use currently. This OS will help to maximize low-latency performance which will in turn help to run quantum algorithms much more efficiently. Every time I read about Quantum Computing I feel like I learn everything and nothing at the same time. The Operating System apparently will not be used in private computing, at least not for a long time. It seems as if there is a lot of room for improvement since apparently super positioning can lead to many different outcomes, but that this OS is a huge breakthrough in making Quantum Processing more portable and compact. Currently Operating Systems and their processes look to be happening all simultaneously, but in reality, they are just very rapidly processing the inputs one after the other. Quantum Computers are said to have the capability to do all these processes and calculations simultaneously. Again, this is all way over my head, and I would probably not take my word on everything, but instead do your own research! I find Kurzgesagt’s videos to always be informative, so I decided to attach their video on Quantum Computers below.
