Internet of Things Will Morph To Internet of Humans: Neuralink

September 9, 2020September 22, 2020 Pooja Kashyap

In The Age of Intelligent Machines (1990), inventor and visionary computer scientist, Raymond Kurzweil predicted that there will be a huge increase in the use of technology and an exponential growth in the internet. And by mid-21st century, AI would overtake human brain in computational capabilities. Eventually it would lead to intelligence explosion resulting in a powerful super intelligence that qualitatively surpass all human intelligence.

Ushering An Era of Quantum Computers with Built-in Optics: The Qubit Technology

August 10, 2016June 1, 2020 Pooja Kashyap

Quantum computers are hypothetical devices with higher computational power than a traditional computer. The classical system involves bits as the smallest unit of data, that is represented by 0 or 1, while quantum computers are made up of quantum bits, also known as qubits. Unlike the conventional computer, where a bit has to be either 0 or 1, quantum mechanics grants a qubit to be in both the states at the same time. A qubit would be represented as 0 and 1 simultaneously, a hallmark which is rudimentary to quantum…
