Graphics cards have all sorts of uses beyond gaming. They're even being used to imitate quantum computers.

Quantum computers have been in the works for a long time and yet we're still nowhere near exploiting quantum physics for massive computational power. You'd think that'd put all but the most driven researchers off investing in quantum computing, but some startups are now preparing for the quantum revolution by running quantum-inspired software on today's powerful graphics cards.

Quantum computing promises to completely revolutionise how we process huge numbers of calculations. Some theoretical uses for it today include drug and vaccine discovery, managing logistics on a global scale, diving deeper into the human genome, super cybersecurity , and similarly demanding stuff. The problem is it just doesn't work yet at the sort of accuracy and scale required to be all that useful.

Some people were getting impatient with quantum's development, so turned elsewhere. Today's top graphics cards are in high demand for artificial intelligence acceleration, and it's this recent burst of AI performance that has led to an emerging use for imitating quantum calculations. It basically sounds a lot like AI and quantum computing teaming up for something in between both, and powered by GPUs.that's going about just that. It raised significant capital to focus on building software for quantum computers, but ultimately decided to switch focus to"build a bridge to quantum processing in the future."exist right now, make software that will ease the transition to quantum computing in future.
