Honeywell. There’s a venerable firm title that you simply may not have heard too usually these days when it comes to new-gen IT.
For those that may not know, Honeywell isn’t within the beekeeping or honey provide enterprise. It’s probably the most established equipment-control makers on the planet, and it has a historical past going method back-back-back-back to its founding in—sure, that is right—1906. IBM (born in 1916) and Hewlett-Packard Co. (1939) are mere children in comparison with this grand previous firm.
Honeywell, which exists in 18 company varieties—with the three largest being Honeywell International, Honeywell Process Solutions and Honeywell Aerospace—is privately held and employs lots of of hundreds of individuals globally.
This firm deserves an in depth look on this, its second profitable century of operation. We at eWEEK will take a deep dive into what this spectacular firm does throughout the IT world each day: present its clients in quite a few use instances with dependable {hardware}, software program and providers to get industrial duties performed, day in and day trip, with effectivity.
In the meantime, Honeywell has some information this month in three sectors: in quantum computing, within the aviation world and in constructing sustainability options. We’ll contact on every on this article and comply with up with extra particulars at a later date.
Breakthrough Claimed in Quantum Computing
On March 3, Honeywell revealed that it has achieved a breakthrough in quantum computing that accelerates the aptitude of quantum computer systems and can allow the corporate to launch what it describes as “the world’s most powerful quantum computer” inside the subsequent three months.
The firm additionally introduced it has made strategic investments in two revered quantum computing software program suppliers and has signed a partnership settlement to develop quantum computing algorithms with JPMorgan Chase.
Within the subsequent three months, Honeywell stated, it’s going to deliver to market the world’s strongest quantum laptop when it comes to quantum quantity, a measure of quantum functionality that goes past the variety of qubits. Quantum quantity measures computational skill, indicating the relative complexity of an issue that may be solved by a quantum laptop. When launched, Honeywell’s quantum laptop can have a quantum quantity of not less than 64, twice that of the subsequent different within the business, the corporate stated.
In a scientific paper posted to the net repository arXiv, Honeywell has demonstrated its quantum cost coupled system (QCCD) structure, a significant technical breakthrough in accelerating quantum functionality. The firm additionally introduced it’s on a trajectory to extend its laptop’s quantum quantity by an order of magnitude annually for the subsequent 5 years.
This breakthrough in quantum quantity outcomes from Honeywell’s answer having the highest-quality, fully-connected qubits with the bottom error charges.
