The National Quantum Initiative Will Also Benefit Classical Computers [Rebooting Computing]
The U.S. National Quantum Initiative places quantum computer scaling in the same category as Moore's law. While the technical basis of semiconductor scale up is well known, the equivalent principle for quantum computers is still being developed here. Let's explore these new ideas.

Quantum Computer Scale-up
Quantum computers are creating buzz from Silicon Valley to the halls of Congress. But the hardware has only been prototyped at small scale. Could applying the engineering processes used to scale up semiconductors also accelerate quantum computer development?

A Role for IEEE in Quantum Computing
Will quantum computation become an important milestone in human progress? Here, passionate advocates and equally passionate skeptics abound. IEEE already provides useful, neutral forums for state-of-the-art science and engineering knowledge as well as practical benchmarks for quantum computation evaluation. But could the organization do more?

Accelerated Architectures Create Programming Opportunities
In the early 2000s, industry switched to multicore microprocessors to address semiconductors' speed and power limits. However, the change was unsuccessful, leading to dire claims that “Moore's law is ending.” In conclusion, this column suggests that while the approach was sound, it needed a deeper architectural transformation. Industry has since discovered a suitable architecture, but work remains on software to support it.
