super charged neurons in AI

I am working in the Artificial Intelligence area. I am thinking of two events happened to me.

1) I have the same dream over many years. While writing the post, I could not recall what exactly the dream now.

2) While I drove to pass a large field of peach flowers, I recalled the moment that I biked to high school and passed a large field of peach flowers.

Both events normally would not come to my mind at all. It seems deep in the brain, there are some super charged neurons which store some unique information, can be trigged by some specific outside stimulus.

I believe in the AI algorithm design, we should add such neurons. It stays there for a specific event, occasionally trigged by a specific type of stimulus.

three types of quantum computer



  1. Analog quantum computer (quantum annealer, adiabatic QC, direct quantum simulation) examples: D-wave
  2. Noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) gate-based computer  
    1. example: IBM quantum computer
  3. Fully error-corrected gate-based quantum computers. 
    1. not available yet


Two leading technologies for quantum computing—trapped ions and superconducting qubits—use very different strategies for embodying and operating on qubits.

quantum computer difficuty

There are many technical challenges:

1) quits cannot intrinsically reject noise

2) error free quantum computer requires quantum error correction


3) large data inputs cannot be loaded into a quantum computer efficiently.


4) Quantum Computers Will Need a New Software Stack


5) The Intermediate State of a Quantum Computer Cannot Be Measured Directly
