Hello Guys now im posting about information from google about opening new research lab

Bagai kalian yang suka IT nih dan mahir perlu di baca nih info soalnya penting banget
Google is opening a new research lab to see if a quantum computer can solve problems too taxing for traditional computers.
Hosted by NASA's Ames Research Center, the new Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab will be home to a quantum computer made by D-Wave Systems. Operated by the Universities Space Research Association, the supercomputer will be available to researchers around the world to work on their own projects.
The goal, as stated in a Google blog posted today, is "to study how quantum computing might advance machine learning."
Traditional computers are limited, as they think in terms of ones and
zeros and therefore aren't adept at solving real-world creative
problems. In contrast, quantum computers use a single chip to store
hundreds or elements known as quantum bits or "qubits." D-Wave's supercomputer houses 512 qubits on a single chip, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Tapping into the often odd world of quantum mechanics, a lone qubit
can be a one, a zero, or both at the same time. As such, quantum
computers can perform calculations and store information on a level much
greater than can conventional computers.
"Machine learning is all about building better models of the world to
make more accurate predictions," Hartmut Neven, director of engineering
for Google, said in Thursday's blog. "If we want to cure diseases, we
need better models of how they develop. If we want to create effective
environmental policies, we need better models of what's happening to our
climate. And if we want to build a more useful search engine, we need
to better understand spoken questions and what's on the Web so you get
the best answer."
Installation of the lab has already kicked off at the Ames Research
Center, according to D-Wave, which expects its supercomputer to be ready
for researchers sometime in the third quarter of 2013.
