The Future of Computing: Bits + Neurons + Qubits

Understand

The laptops, cell phones, and internet applications commonplace in our daily lives are all rooted in the idea of zeros and ones - in bits.

• This foundational element originated from the combination of mathematics and Claude Shannon's Theory of Information.
• Coupled with the 50-year legacy of Moore's Law, the bit has propelled the digitization of our world.
• In recent years, artificial intelligence systems, merging neuron-inspired biology with information, have achieved superhuman accuracy in a range of narrow classification tasks by learning from labelled data.
