IBM Just Announced an Insanely Powerful 50-Qubit Quantum Computer

IBM Just Announced an Insanely Powerful 50-Qubit Quantum Computer

At the IEEE Industry Summit on the Future of Computing in Washington DC on Friday, IBM announced the development of a quantum computer capable of handling 50 qubits (quantum bits).

This breakthrough puts IBM on the cutting edge of quantum computing research, as a 50-qubit machine is so far the largest and most powerful quantum computer ever built.

Seen by experts as the future of advanced computing, a quantum computer performs rather differently compared to traditional computers. Instead of processing information using binary bits of 0s and 1s, a quantum computer uses qubits, which can simultaneously be a 0 and/or a 1.

This is made possible by the quantum effects known as entanglement and superposition.

If they can get it to where they can maintain the quantum state for longer periods of time then they could really have done something.
People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to visit violence on those who would do them harm.

Honestly this stuff is so over my head much like Longbirch's explanation of the two different type of Rugby....

Fascinating nonetheless ..... :puter:

DWave next redesign will allow for higher connection density 4000 qubits by late 2018 and expansion beyond 10,000 qubits
