Happy new Year to you all!
Here’s to a safe, healthyand prosperous 2021 for all of us!
I'm sitting in lockdown here in Brizzy on a showery day so was recapping 2020 and what in store for 2021.
2020 has certainly had itsups and downs and many challenges thrown at all of us, but we got through tothe new year and although 2021 is off to a bumpy start there are many things inthe works now to help make 2021 an improvement on 2020. Certainly still sometrying times ahead and I wish all of us the best not just in our financial positions,but also more importantly health and family
.
2021 is shaping up to be apivotal year for Archer in my view, many advances have been made in 2020 with12cq Quantum Processor and the A1 Bio Chip technology and 2021 should bring alot more. I feel we will finally see more information regarding the reliableenergy vertical early in 2021 but certainly 12cq and A1 are keeping Archer busyenough.
Some great partnershipshave been forged as with IBM and Max Kelsen on the Quantum side and Archershould now have their own Quantum Algorithm Software Developer on board workingwith Max Kelsen . Remember the 12cq is useless without the software stack andAlgorithms to run it so I do see this as a sign of confidence in 12cq being successfuland operational.
A1 Bio Chip Technology isadvancing and great to see Rebecca and crew are now in the Nano Science Foundryworking on the A1 chip alongside Martin and crew who are working on the 12cqQuantum chip. Although the Leading German Bio Company working with Archer onthe A1 Bio Chip remains anonymous and confidential – here’s hoping the A1 Chipadvances enough in 2021 to then formally announce the partnership – I’massuming the confidentiality is to not give a heads up to this company’s competitorsin these early stages.
Campoona Graphite Projecthas been given the last of the approvals to mine so pretty much has the greenlight to move forward now. We have not seen much on the Reliable EnergyVertical side, so I’m wondering if Archer was awaiting the final approvals beforeproceeding with what they have planned for this resource. As a re-cap, Campoona Graphite is of very high quality, highly crystalized, unique and proven to be of near perfect structure on the Atomic scale and has been proven to be suitable for the highly prized Spherical Graphite.
I know for a fact theywill not be mining this resource alone, but most likely entering into a partnershipto have it dug out of the ground and processed so as to produce monetary income without the upfront cost of mining.
Or there is still thepossibility their Reliable Energy vertical is not hinged to the CampoonaDeposit and therefore they could possibly sell the project. I would prefer tosee scenario one and find the right partner who will mine and process and we receive an income from this.
I feel 2021 will be a busyyear for Archer and I’m looking forward to their Technological Milestones with12cq and A1 Bio-Chip to be hit and progressed further towardscommercialization.
I do think it’s importantfor newcomers to Archer to go through and research many of the milestones andannouncements made to date to get an idea of their path forward and what toexpect. More importantly understand that the objective is .... not to produce thesechips and sell them, but to physically prove with working prototypes tomanufacturers who will then produce at scale ( because they have the resourcesto) and Archer produces an income via licencing agreements – hence why the processingof patents is ever so important!
I do get a lot of people Ihave spoken to say what the hell is Quantum?Why do we need this when we are doing fine with our current technologies? Truth is we have pretty much scaled the transistors on processors as far as we can physically go on the atomic scale so there would unlikely be huge increases in processing power. Also why would we need a Quantum powered device?They would only be used really for research and would have limited functionality?
Although we are in theearly stages of developing Quantum computing, they were saying the same thingabout computers well before I was born and look where we are today!
All computing systems relyon a fundamental ability to store and manipulate information. So Quantum computing simply does this in a different way using superposition and entanglement, rather than switching on and off it can be in all states at the same time until an outcome is required. Complex ?? absolutely, but you don’t have to understand the finer details to know that in the years ahead computational power will be nothing like today – simply another evolution in our history of technology.
I’m hitting the Milestoneof 50 very soon so old enough to have gone through the pre-internet age andexperience the technological breakthroughs that we have seen to date. Therewere many things like CD players, the internet, wifi, flat screen TV’s etc etc that we use in our everyday lives now that was in the beginning some were hard to understand and get our heads around how it works but is now part of our everyday lives and it’s seems we cannot do without! Quantum computing will be no different and hence the scale of investment and research worldwide.
Quantum computing will nottake over from Classical Computing but will simply work with it. The Quantumchip using the algorithms to process large amounts of data and do the complex processing then sending the easystuff to the Classical part for end processing.
Applications that we currentlyenvisage for Quantum powered devices are A.I. machine learning, working indriverless cars and secure communication and financial transactions … plus I’msure many more later then we have never even though of. Also the creation of new materials and drugs that don't exist yet but through chemical formulations and crunching simulations in minutes rather than years through existing Classical Computing we will have further advancements in technology and human health.
Some of these applicationswill require a room temperature device that can integrate into modern SiliconElectronics so they can be mobile – hence why I think if Archer pulls this off,not only will it clear a path forward to enable Quantum to go mainstream, butcurrently being the only ones with the technology to enable this would providea greater share of $ value in an ever advancing new industry.
As evident in the announcementsfrom Archer you see the wording “” the proven potential “This technology has already been proven to work and the papers published and patents progressing to protect the I.P.What they have to do now ….. And which they are currently doing is make fully assembled working prototypes to complete the process and able to demonstrate to manufacturers the viable commercialization of this technology.
Good to see the 50 centsmark holding it’s ground for so long and as evident on Mallis post Post#: 50062120trading is getting tight and most likely a breakout… and one would thinkto the upside!
Thanks for the graphMallis J
There is always a risk sobear in mind but personally have found the risk/reward ratio for myself worth it here.
So 2021 I feel will be abig year for Archer on many fronts and I’m looking forward to seeing the progressionof 12cq and the A1 Bio-Chip especially.
Stay safe
