IBM says quantum computers could handle calculations even billions of supercomputers cannot

An IBM research executive said that once quantum computers reach practical use, they will be able to perform calculations that cannot be handled even by connecting huge numbers of conventional supercomputers. He said quantum computing scales differently, with performance growing exponentially as qubits increase. IBM said hardware advances alone are not enough and researchers must define which problems to solve. Companies are already offering cloud access, and carmakers are testing battery simulations.

Is technology like salt on the hearth?

A disaster in Nepal on Aug. 26, 2026, involving floods and landslides was triggered by collapsing glaciers and was also described as a foreseen result of global warming. Disaster news spreads quickly, but conditions just before such events often fuel speculation rather than data analysis. The author argues that unused technical ideas are like salt left on a hearth. He urges combining drones, IoT, cloud and AI to collect data, model risks and enable early evacuation and sustained monitoring in cooperation with Nepal.
