Quantum Computing - Neven's Law of Double Exponential Growth

  Neven’s law states that quantum computers are improving at a “doubly exponential” rate. If it holds, quantum supremacy is around the corner. Most of you will be familiar with  Moore 's Law that predicts  exponential   growth  in computing power - a doubling every 18 months. In the world of Quantum Computing, there is a law that predicts  double   exponential   growth . What does this mean ? Is it true ? Who made this law ? 1.1 Who is Neven? Hartmut Neven is an Engineering Director at Google. He is the founder of the the Quantum AI Lab. The objective of this lab is to fabricate quantum processors and dvelop novel quantum algorithms to dramatically accelerate computational tasks for machine intelligence. 2 What does Neven’s Double Exponential Law mean? https://www.quantamagazine.org/does-nevens-law-describe-quantum-computings-rise-20190618/ Neven said that quantum computers are gaining computational power relative to classical ones at a “doubly expon

Future Mobility Technology Trends - Insights from Paul Masceranas

Future Mobility Technology Trends a fire-side chat session with Mr Paul Masceranas, President SAE International at Mahindra Research Valley. When the SAE International President Mr Paul Masceranas visited Mahindra Research Valley on 24 June 2019, a small group of Inventors and Innovators had a fire-side chat session with Paul. The topics discussed covered a wide spectrum – from new-gen technologies like electric, autonomous, connected vehicles to the future of current technologies internal combustion engine (ICE) technologies, Diesel etc. Since Paul’s views on these topics could be of interest to a larger community of engineers, we thought of sharing a summary of the discussion here. Dr Shankar Venugopal (Vice President, Mahindra & Mahindra), Mr Paul Masceranas (President, SAE International) and Mr Murli Iyer (Executive Advisor – Global Affairs, SAE International) at the Mahindra Research Valley, Chennai (24 June 2019) The session started with the modera
