Quantum computing: Quantum could solve AI energy drain, says tech founder
Quantum computers could curb the vast energy demands of artificial intelligence data centres with their ability to run complex calculations, one of the tech's pioneers told AFP. Australian startup Diraq is conducting the first field test worldwide putting a small quantum computer based on a silicon chip in a commercial data centre in Sydney. Diraq's computer installed in Equinix's Sydney data centre has eight quantum bits, or qubits, on a silico…
Quantum could solve AI energy drain, says tech founder
Australian startup Diraq is conducting the first field test worldwide putting a small quantum computer based on a silicon chip in a commercial data centre in Sydney. Gigawatt-scale energy demand from large data centres -- warehouse-like buildings full of servers used to train or run AI tools -- requires new power plants or increases pressure on electrical grids, sparking community backlash. But, according to Diraq founder Andrew Dzurak, quantum …
Among the rows of servers in a Sydney data center, there has recently been a cabinet that performs its calculations in a very different way. It is a small quantum computer on a silicon chip and it uses less than 20 kilowatts. According to its builder, such a machine could replace a significant portion of... within five years.
