HAS D-WAVE REALLY ACHIEVED “QUANTUM SUPREMACY?”
D-Wave, a California research firm, has published a technical paper claiming it has achieved “quantum supremacy”—using a quantum computer to solve a problem beyond the reach of today’s supercomputers.
AMAZON’S NEW CHIP COULD SPEED THE ARRIVAL OF QUANTUM COMPUTING
Amazon Web Services’ new “Ocelot” quantum computer chip could bring practical quantum computing five years closer, the company says.
MICROSOFT CLAIMS QUANTUM COMPUTER BREAKTHROUGH USING NEW FORM OF MATTER
Microsoft has unveiled its Majorana 1, a quantum computer processor designed to house a million “qubits” and using a form of matter theorized for a century but never created before in physical form, the company claims.
QUANTUM SOFTWARE FOR YOUR QUANTUM COMPUTER
Quantum computers, which capitalize on quirks of quantum physics to operate orders of magnitude faster than silicon-based machines, are barely emerging from the experimental stage but software designers are already making programs for them.
QUANTUM COMPUTING TAKES TWO GIANT STEPS FORWARD
Two new breakthroughs have moved quantum computers closer to practical use.
Quantum computers can store vastly more data and process it far faster than conventional computers. The reason: current computers store data as a series of ones and zeros. Each digit is stored in a specific spot in a computer’s memory chips and the computer processes each digit one after the other.
