Quantum Computing Breakthrough: A Glimpse Into the Future of Technology

By Anthony F. Sanchez, Author & UFO Researcher

After coming across a widely circulated news snippet about a significant quantum computing achievement in China, I felt compelled to investigate the validity of the claim.

The Facebook post I encountered stated: "A quantum computer, Jiuzhang, developed by researchers in China, completed a computational task in just 4 minutes—a task that would take classical supercomputers 2.6 billion years. Utilizing a 76-qubit photon-based architecture and the Gaussian boson sampling method, Jiuzhang broke records by detecting 76 photons, far surpassing the classical supercomputing limit of 5 photons. This achievement has significant implications for fields such as quantum chemistry, mathematics, and the potential development of large-scale quantum internet, leveraging quantum mechanics principles like superposition and entanglement for enhanced computational power."

Upon further research, I confirmed the validity of the claim. The quantum computer Jiuzhang indeed performed computations equivalent to 2.6 billion years of classical computing in just 4 minutes. This astounding feat was accomplished by the 76-qubit photon-based quantum computer developed at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), led by Pan Jianwei, often referred to as the father of China's quantum program. 

This groundbreaking research was published in Physical Review Letters. The Jiuzhang machine employs a technique known as Gaussian boson sampling, leveraging photons to detect 76 in total—up from the previous record of just 5 photons achieved by classical supercomputers. The quantum machine also solved a complex boson sampling problem in just a millionth of a second, further outperforming classical systems.

Given these developments, one can't help but wonder: What practical applications might this technology revolutionize? Quantum chemistry, advanced mathematics, cryptography, and the development of a quantum internet all seem like plausible areas where quantum computing could have a monumental impact.

While the real-world applications of boson sampling are still under debate, new global competitors, such as the Toronto-based Xanadu, are emerging. The Jiuzhang series, which began in 2020, has continued to evolve, with its latest iteration released in 2023.

But what happens when artificial intelligence (AI) transitions from classical computing to quantum computing?

We already know that futurists like Ray Kurzweil believe that artificial general intelligence (AGI) is either already emerging or on the cusp of becoming fully realized. There are widespread concerns that Super Artificial Intelligence (Super AI), even on classical computing infrastructure, could pose a critical risk to humanity. The introduction of quantum computing into this realm could amplify these risks significantly.

So, I pose the question: Will humanity be making a critical mistake by crossing the threshold from classical to quantum computing?

OpenAI has stated that the name Q-Star—its advanced AGI project—comes from Q-learning, a type of reinforcement learning used in machine learning. While this seems reasonable, some, including my son, speculate that the "Q" in Q-Star could actually refer to quantum computing. Given the secrecy surrounding Q-Star, it’s not impossible.

What do you think? Is the quantum future something to embrace or approach with caution?

UAP Disclosure: An Impasse, Amidst Official Pentagon Denials And Think Tank Advocacy

Image
By Anthony F. Sanchez, Author & UFO Researcher For UFO Currents In a recent, comprehensive report, the Pentagon's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office ( AARO ) confidently asserted that there's no evidence of alien technology in the myriad of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) sightings investigated.  This assertion, encapsulated in the "Report on the Historical Record of U.S. Government Involvement with Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) Volume I," aimed to set the record straight on the government's position regarding UAPs.  According to AARO and NASA's UAP study team, a significant number of these sightings could simply be misinterpretations of mundane objects , a situation exacerbated by the lack of comprehensive data. This proclamation comes at a time when the discourse around UAPs and their potential extraterrestrial origins is gaining momentum, thanks in part to organizations like ' The Sol Foundation Initiative for UAP Research and Po...

A Perspective on God and Extraterrestrial Life

Image
By Anthony F. Sanchez, Author & UFO Researcher For UFO Currents As a dedicated UFO researcher, I venture into the vastness of the sky, seeking not just scientific truths but the pulse of the mysterious. The concept of God, an eternal subject of human contemplation, often aligns with the esoteric and profound mysteries of the cosmos.  Albert Einstein, a luminary in the world of physics, famously did not subscribe to the notion of a personal God but instead revered the intricate structure of the universe unveiled through our growing scientific understanding—a sentiment shared by those of us who chase the enigma of extraterrestrial life. He once expressed, " I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. "  What if the pursuit of extraterrestrial life is not just about discovering the unknown but about unraveling the fabric of divinity itself? This question is not new.  Stephen Hawking, a visionary in theoretical physics, s...

Alien War Prediction: Clif High’s Web Bot and the December 3rd Countdown

Image
By Anthony F. Sanchez, Author & UFO Researcher For UFO Currents To all my fellow UFO Enthusiasts, I'm not typically one to spread fear, but here's an intriguing prediction from Clif High that's worth discussing. According to his 1997 software creation, "Web Bot", which analyzes societal and Temporal Markers to make predictions, an Alien War could potentially begin tomorrow, December 3rd. Here's the backstory: In 2009, the Web Bot software identified a specific "trigger" event. The prediction was that 39 days after this event, UFOs would emerge and engage in a massive battle with other UFOs, marking a transformative moment for humanity. And what was that trigger? "If Donald Trump is interviewed by Joe Rogan." Well, that interview recently happened, which means—based on this prediction—the countdown leads to tomorrow, December 3rd. We all know that it's very important to approach such predictions with skepticism. The "Web Bot...
