In a monumental leap for the world of technology, a pioneering quantum computing chip has shattered performance barriers, paving the way for an era of computing power previously thought to be science fiction. Developed by a collaboration of leading tech companies and research institutions, this quantum computing breakthrough is set to redefine the landscape of computing, enabling unprecedented speeds and capabilities that could revolutionize industries across the board. Key Highlights of the Quantum Computing Breakthrough: Unprecedented Processing Power: Traditional computers use bits to process information, represented as 0s and 1s. Quantum computers, on the other hand, leverage quantum bits or qubits, which can exist in a superposition of both 0 and 1 states simultaneously. This inherent parallelism allows quantum computers to perform complex calculations at speeds that would be inconceivable for classical computers. Massive Quantum Supremacy: The newly developed quantum chip achie
Robin Li, the CEO of Chinese search engine Baidu, has made his first ever visit to India, at a time when rival Chinese technology giants Alibaba and Byte-Dance are making inroads in the country. Li is also seeking collaborations with Indian institutes as his company looks for local expertise in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI).
India is home to the second largest Internet user base, accounting for 12% of the users globally. It is emerging as a battleground for the US, Chinese and Indian technology and Internet companies looking to capture the ‘next billion users’.
Li delivered the keynote on AI at IIT Madras on Saturday. “Baidu has been monitoring India. Alibaba and Tencent have been aggressively investing in India,” said Santosh Pai, a partner at Link Legal, a law firm which advises Chinese companies investing in India. “It might be deciding to make up for the lost time in India with a new strategy. It may look at VC investments in India like Alibaba and Tencent did.”
Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent are known as BAT in China. They are the original tech titans which are the centre of China’s ambitious technology plans. They are rapidly improving their artificial intelligence capabilities, challenging US tech leaders like Google and Amazon.
Alibaba was an early entrant in India, offering its listing services to small and medium companies and helping them go global. Since then, it has expanded in India through its UC Broswer and offering its cloud services to local customers. ByteDance’s short video app, Tik-Tok is among the most used social apps in the country. The only application of Baidu that has a significant presence here is the Face Emoji keyboard, which it launched in 2018.
