Quantum computers exploit the seemingly bizarre yet proven nature of the universe that until a particle interacts with another, its position, speed, color, spin and other quantum properties coexist simultaneously as a probability distribution over all possibilities in a state known as superposition. Quantum computers use isolated particles as their most basic building blocks, relying on any one of these quantum properties to represent the state of a quantum bit (or qubit). So while classical computer bits always exist in a mutually exclusive state of either 0 (low energy) or 1 (high energy), qubits in superposition coexist simultaneously in both states as 0 and 1.

Things get interesting at a larger scale, as QC systems are capable of isolating a group of entangled particles, which all share a single state of superposition. While a single qubit coexists in two states, a set of eight entangled qubits (or 8Q), for example, simultaneously occupies all 2^8 (or 256) possible states, effectively processing all these states in parallel. It would take 57Q (representing 2^57 parallel states) for a QC to outperform even the worlds strongest classical supercomputer. A 64Q computer would surpass it by 100x (clearly achieving quantum advantage) and a 128Q computer would surpass it a quintillion times.

In the race to develop these computers, nature has inserted two major speed bumps. First, isolated quantum particles are highly unstable, and so quantum circuits must execute within extremely short periods of coherence. Second, measuring the output energy level of subatomic qubits requires extreme levels of accuracy that tiny deviations commonly thwart. Informed by university research, leading QC companies like IBM, Google, Honeywell and Rigetti develop quantum engineering and error-correction methods to overcome these challenges as they scale the number of qubits they can process.

Following the challenge to create working hardware, software must be developed to harvest the benefits of parallelism even though we cannot see what is happening inside a quantum circuit without losing superposition. When we measure the output value of a quantum circuits entangled qubits, the superposition collapses into just one of the many possible outcomes. Sometimes, though, the output yields clues that qubits weirdly interfered with themselves (that is, with their probabilistic counterparts) inside the circuit.

QC scientists at UC Berkeley, University of Toronto, University of Waterloo, UT Sydney and elsewhere are now developing a fundamentally new class of algorithms that detect the absence or presence of interference patterns in QC output to cleverly glean information about what happened inside.

A fully functional QC must, therefore, incorporate several layers of a novel technology stack, incorporating both hardware and software components. At the top of the stack sits the application software for solving problems in chemistry, logistics, etc. The application typically makes API calls to a software layer beneath it (loosely referred to as a compiler) that translates function calls into circuits to implement them. Beneath the compiler sits a classical computer that feeds circuit changes and inputs to the Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) beneath it. The QPU typically has an error-correction layer, an analog processing unit to transmit analog inputs to the quantum circuit and measure its analog outputs, and the quantum processor itself, which houses the isolated, entangled particles.

The race to building a fully functional quantum stack - TechCrunch

Recently, Toshiba announced that it would sell the remained of its computer and laptop operations to Sharp after 35 years of working in the sector. Who is Toshiba, what products did Toshiba produce, and what will Toshiba look towards for its future endeavours?

Toshiba is a Japanese multinational conglomerate with its headquarters located in Minato, Tokyo. Toshiba provides a wide range of services and products in many industries, including semiconductors, discrete electronics, hard drives, printers, and quantum cryptography. Founded in 1890, the company has over 140,000 employees worldwide with yearly revenue of 3.693 trillion, and an operating income of 35.4 billion. Toshiba is arguably most known for its consumer-end products, including televisions, laptops, and flash memory.

One of the biggest challenges faced by early computer makers was creating a portable machine that would allow individuals to work while on the move. The reasons for the difficulty came from a multitude of problems, including heavy batteries, bulky floppy drives, and CRT screens that can easily weigh into the tens of kilograms. The first portable computer, called the Osborne, was developed in 1981, but its reliance on a mains plug made the computer more of a luggable as opposed to a portable platform (a battery pack was available, but only as an optional add-on). While the Osborne was the worlds first portable computer, the first IBM compatible PC laptop was produced by Toshiba in 1985, and offered MS-DOS 2.11, integrated an Intel 80C88 4.7MHz processor, 256KB RAM, internal 3.5 floppy drive, and a 640 x 200 display. Measuring only 4.1KG, the Toshiba T1100 is considered the first mass-produced laptop computer and provided a standard that other manufacturers would quickly follow.

While Toshiba has a long history producing PC compatible computers and laptops, the recent fall in sales has led to Toshiba selling the remainder of its stake in Dynabook to Sharp. To better understand just how much sales have fallen, Toshiba was selling over 17 million computers in 2011 and had dropped to just 1.9 million in 2017. This fall in sales resulted in Toshiba pulling out from the European market in 2016, but even this move did not help entirely. The exact reason for this reduction in sales cannot be attributed to any one cause, but the mass influx of mobile devices such as tabs and smartphones, as well as the introduction of cloud-based applications, means that tasks that would typically be done on a computer can now be done of much smaller, more convenient devices.

Consumer demand for laptops has soared in the last few months because of the Coronavirus pandemic and global lockdowns, but overall, the market for personal computers has been tough for quite a while. Only those who have managed to sustain scale and price (like Lenovo), or have a premium brand (like Apple) have succeeded in the unforgiving PC market, where volumes have been falling for years.

While the PC market is incredibly vast, it is only a small sector that Toshiba has specialised in. This year (2020), Toshiba announced its plans to launch quantum cryptography services, develop affordable solid-state LiDAR, and produce hydrogen fuel cells. Toshiba also continues to develop its other industrial sectors, including electronic storage (FLASH, HDDs, etc.), building systems (elevators), energy systems, infrastructure, and retail. Such a move by Toshiba makes sense when considering that quantum computers are starting to find real-world application, governments around the world are trying to move towards green technologies, and the rapid increase in internet usage is putting a strain on data centres.

Mainframe systems could play a significant role in cybersecurity and artificial intelligence advancements in years to come and IBM is investing in those areas to ensure system Z mainframes have a stake in those growing tech markets.

IBM mainframe sales grew some 69% during the second quarter of this year, achieving the highest year-over-year percentage increase of any other business unit. Some industry observers attribute the unexpected performance to the fact the z15, introduced a year ago, is still in its anticipated upcycle. Typically, mainframe sales level off and dip after 12 to 18 months until the release of a new system. But that might not be the case this time around.

Ross Mauri, general manager of IBM's Z and LinuxOne mainframe business, discussed some of the factors that could contribute to sustained growth of the venerable system, including IBM's acquisition of Red Hat, the rise of open source software and timely technical enhancements.

Mainframe revenues in the second quarter were the fastest-growing of any IBM business unit, something analysts didn't expect to see again. Is this just the typical upcycle for the latest system or something else at work?

Ross Mauri: A lot of it has to do with the Red Hat acquisition and the move toward hybrid clouds. Consequently, mainframes are picking up new workloads, which is why you are seeing a lot more MIPS being generated. We set a record for MIPS in last year's fourth quarter.

How much of it has to do with the increase in Linux-based mainframes and the growing popularity of open source software?

Mauri: Yes, there is that plus all the more strategic applications [OpenShift, Ansible] going to the cloud. What also helped was our Capacity On Demand program going live in the second quarter, providing users with four times the [processor] capacity they had a year ago.

Some industries are in slumps, but online sales are up and that means credit card and banking systems are more active than normal. They liked the idea of being able to turn on 'dark' processors remotely.

Some analysts think mainframes are facing the same barrier Intel-based machines are with Moore's Law. Are you running out of real estate on mainframe chips to improve performance?

Mauri: What we have done is made improvements in the instruction set. So, with things like Watson machine learning, users can work to a pretty high level of AI, taking greater advantage of the hardware. We've not run out of real estate on the chips, or out of performance, and I don't think we will. If you think that, we will prove you wrong.

But with the last couple of mainframe releases performance improvements were in the single digits, compared to 30% to 40% performance improvements of Power systems.

Mauri: In terms of Z [series mainframes], they are running as fast as Power. We know where [mainframes] are going to be running in the future. As we move to deep learning inference engines in the future, you'll see more AI running on the system to help with fraud analytics and real-time transactions. We haven't played out our whole hand yet. The AI market is still nascent; we are very much at the beginning of it. For instance, we're not anywhere near what we can do with the security of the system.

As we move to deep learning inference engines in the future, you'll see more AI running on [mainframes] to help with fraud analytics and real-time transactions. We haven't played out our whole hand yet. Ross MauriGeneral manager, IBM's Z and LinuxOne mainframes

We have started to put quantum encryption algorithms in the system already, to make sure security was sound given what's going on in the world of cybersecurity. You'll see us continue to invest more in the future when it comes to AI. We'll build on that machine learning base we have already.

Is IBM Research investigating other technologies that would sit between existing mainframes and quantum computers in terms of improving performance?

Mauri: Our [mainframe] systems group is working closely with the quantum team as well as with IBM Research. We are still in the research phase; no one's using them for production.

What we're exploring with IBM Research and clients is trying to determine what algorithms run well on a quantum computer for solving business problems and business processes that now run on mainframes. For instance, we're looking at big financial institutions where we can make use of quantum computers as closely coupled accelerators for the mainframe. We think it can greatly reduce costs and improve business processing speed. It's actually not that complex to do. We're doing active experiments with clients now.

What are you looking at to increase performance?

Mauri: We are looking at a whole range of options right now. We have something we do with clients called Enterprise Design Thinking where they are involved throughout an entire process to make sure we're not putting some technology in that's not going to work for them. We have been doing that since the z14 [mainframe].

Priyanka Chopra has been living in Los Angeles with Nick Jonas since the beginning of the lockdown in March.

Priyanka Chopra has been away from her mother and brother ever since the coronavirus lockdown was imposed in March. She has been living with singer husband Nick Jonas at their Los Angeles home, but has found ways to stay connected through it all.

Speaking to People magazine, Priyanka said it was important to maintain a sense of normalcy. Im asthmatic and my husbands type 1 diabetic, so we have to be even more careful. But there have been a lot of Zoom calls and Zoom brunches. We have a really large friends and family group, and Ive had a lot of birthdays in my family that have happened recently, so weve done a few socially distanced lunches, she said.

If you have the ability to have a human connection with friends, family, whether thats virtually or whether thats in a socially distant way, I think thats really important to feel a sense of normalcy, she said.

Talking about returning to work, Priyanka said she will make sure everything is safe when she does. The rumblings are that a couple of projects should go on set by the end of the year, if not by mid-fall, maybe September or October, but the world is so uncertain. I am prepared to go back to work. I know Ill have to make sure that Im extremely disciplined, super careful for myself and for everyone else, and take the quarantining and testing measures seriously. Its a new normal, and its not going to turn back into being what it was anytime soon. So we just have to come to terms with that reality, she added.

Priyanka has multiple projects in her kitty right now. Her next release will be Netflixs The White Tiger with Rajkummar Rao. She has also signed a multi-million dollar deal with Amazon. She will be seen in their shows Citadel, made by Anthony and Joe Russo and co-starring Richard Madden; and reality show Sangeet that she has produced with Nick Jonas.

Priyanka also has Robert Rodriguez movie We Can Be Heroes and will also be seen as Osho aide and convicted attempted murderer Maa Anand Sheela in a biopic.

Follow the money! The talking heads are analyzing the fact that President Donald Trump donated $6,000 to Kamala Harris' 2014 campaign for reelection as California attorney general, and that she in turn donated the money to a non-profit that advocates for civil and human rights for Central Americans. And we have nearly three months to go! Stuff like that is a lot more fun to talk about than the 50-basis point price change that Fannie and Freddie instituted due to higher risk and costs on refis. Not on purchases, mind you. This from Freddie, who earned $1.8 billion last quarter, and Fannie, who earned $2.5 billion. Is this how the GSEs help struggling homeowners? The MBA weighed in. Some attribute the changes to Director Calabrias desire to recapitalize the GSEs, desire to capture some of the great margins being enjoyed by originators, to balance out some of the cash window pricing gains seen in recent weeks, or the continued shift in discouraging certain types of products, theres nothing like a price change to increase or decrease the flow of business. In other money news, digital lending platform Blend announced it raised $75 million in funding in a Series F round led by Canapi Ventures, bringing the companys valuation to nearly $1.7 billion. Anyone want to buy a simple, humble daily commentary with a joke at the end put out by an old capital markets guy?

Agency Changes

In light of market and economic uncertainty resulting in higher risks and costs incurred by Fannie Mae, we are implementing a new loan-level price adjustment (LLPA). The fee applies to limited cash-out refinances and cash-out refinances, as described in Lender Letter LL-2020-12. The key date isnt until September 1, but lenders are already pricing rate sheets accordingly.

Fannie Maes recent Selling Guide update, SEL 2020-04, clarifies solar panel policies based on different financing structures, revises the representations and warranties framework for loans in forbearance to align the Guide with LL-2020-06 (Selling Loans in Forbearance Due toCOVID-19) and removes references to Master Agreements.

Fannie Mae updated LL-2020-06 to reflect the extension of eligible note dates and delivery dates regarding selling loans in forbearance.

Fannie Mae issued policy changes to Servicer Principal and Interest Advance Requirements, reflected in LL-2020-08. The customer transition guide provides servicers with information on the key milestones regarding these upcoming changes. Information on activities that will occur in the month of transition and the month following transition are included. Additionally, Fannie Mae created a guide detailing the process requirements.

As a reminder, Fannie Mae is accepting SOFR Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (ARMs) and issuing SOFR-based MBS. All Fannie Mae Single-Family applications have been updated to include the new SOFR ARM products, review LL 2020-01 for more information.

Freddie Mac also sent out SOFR transition news.

Wells Fargo Funding is aligning its effective date to the temporary COVID-19-related requirements and flexibilities and date extension announced by the Agencies. This includes the announced expansion to their temporary requirements for self-employed borrowers, allowing Sellers to confirm that the borrowers business is open and operating within 20 business days of the Note date. Wells Fargo Funding did not publish the overlays in its Selling Guide; Sellers must follow Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac requirements.

Capital Markets

Loan originators are good at looking at things over time. Labor data has been the recent focus of markets over the last week but the upbeat numbers are expected to diminish later this summer as the lingering effects of social distancing and spring shutdowns continue to impact businesses. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 1.8 million in July on the heels of June's 4.8 million increase but remain 12.9 million below February's peak and the unemployment rate remains high at 10.2 percent. Initial claims for unemployment insurance fell by nearly 250,000 for the week ending August 1 after increasing the previous two weeks. Data from the Institute of Supply Management (ISM) showed both the service and manufacturing sectors of the economy in expansion territory with many respondents cautiously optimistic about their outlook. Construction spending slipped in June, but was little changed over the previous twelve months. Spending on single family residential construction fell 3.6 percent, but is expected to rebound given recent sales data from home builders. Mortgage rates remain low although applications fell for the week ending July 31 as the 30-year fixed rate dipped to 3.14 percent, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

Looking at news yesterday, U.S. consumer prices rose in July by more than expected largely due to a jump in auto and apparel costs, which follows hotter-than-expected producer prices. Though that buoyed Treasury yields and MBS, stimulus is still in limbo. Democrats say there will be no restart talks until the White House moves from demands for a smaller package. Meanwhile, about 16 million Americans are unemployed, with 28 million receiving benefits. There is a big disconnect: the S&P 500 yesterday briefly surpassed the all-time closing high reached in February before the pandemic? That also capped a more than 50 percent rally since market lows in March, though most of the gain came from technology shares. Finally, the day's $38 billion 10-year note auction was met with solid demand despite its record size.

Those CPI figures reported yesterday are important because the consumer shapes the economic outlook more than any other factor. In a typical recession, services spending remains relatively steady, while big ticket purchases on durable goods typically are put off until things improve. It has actually been the opposite in this cycle since stay-at-home orders have emptied out restaurants and other services. Durable goods outlays are nearly ten percent above pre-pandemic levels. Despite the resurgence of the coronavirus, spending is on track to post a record increase in the third quarter.

Todays economic calendar kicked off with July import & export prices (+.7 percent and +.8 percent, respectively) and initial jobless claims for the week ending August 8 (963k, better than expected, -228k). There are two Fed speakers scheduled starting with Atlantas Bostic ahead of Governor Brainard. The final leg of this weeks record refunding consisting of $26 billion 30-year bonds in the early afternoon. The NY Fed will conduct the last two operations on the current schedule when it purchases up to $4.2 billion MBS starting with $2.8 billion UMBS30 2 percent through 3 percent followed by $1.5 billion GNII 2.5 percent and 3 percent. The Desk will then report on MBS purchases for the week ending August 12, one hour before releasing a new two-week FedTrade schedule in addition the mid-August to mid-September MBS reinvestment estimate, which is expected to total over $111 billion based on paydowns in the Fed portfolio plus the additional $40 billion monthly increase in MBS SOMA holdings. We begin today with Agency MBS prices better/up .125 and the 10-year yielding .68 (after closing yesterday at 0.67 percent) after the positive initial jobless claims numbers.
