Future of Chemistry with Quantum

by with No Comment Research

The next generation of chemists emerging from grad schools across the world brings a level of data fluency that would have been unimaginable in the 2000s. But the constraints on this fluency are physical: classically built computers simply cannot handle the level of complexity of substances as commonplace as caffeine. In this dynamic, no amount of data fluency can obviate the need for serendipity: you will be working in a world where you need luck on your side to make important advances. The development of— and embrace of—quantum computers is therefore crucial to the future practice of chemists.

Uber Technologies, Inc., commonly known as Uber, is an American technology company. Its services include ride-hailing, food delivery (Uber Eats), package delivery, couriers, freight transportation, and, through a partnership with Lime, electric bicycle and motorized scooter rental. The company is based in San Francisco and has operations in over 900 metropolitan areas worldwide.[3] It is one of the largest firms in the gig economy.

Uber is estimated to have over 93 million monthly active users worldwide.[6] In the United States, Uber has a 71% market share for ride-sharing[7] and a 22% market share for food delivery.[8] Uber has been so prominent in the sharing economy that changes in various industries as a result of Uber have been referred to as uberisation,[9][10][11] and many startups have described their offerings as “Uber for X”.[12][13][14]

Like similar companies, Uber has been criticized for the treatment of drivers as independent contractors, disruption of taxicab businesses, and an increase in traffic congestion. The company has been criticized for various unethical practices and for ignoring local regulations, particularly under the leadership of former CEO Travis Kalanick.
