Quantum revolution in progress: For now with technology computers Quantums are associated with many restrictions. However, the amazing computing capabilities of machines based on phenomena in the field of quantum physics attract the largest companies: IBM, Amazon, Microsoft and Google. It was Julian Kelly, the equipment director at Google Quantum AI, that he may have only five years It divides us from creating practical calculation methods that will be adapted to the specifics of this type of equipment.
A lot to catch up: If this is to happen, a large technological leap is required. Willow, currently the most advanced Google quantum computer, has 105 cubits (unit information quantum). Specialists believe that at least practical, advanced applications will be needed a million cubits. However, if the restrictions are overcome, the possibilities are huge and completely inaccessible to ordinary computers.
Dynamic changes: Currently, it is one of the most dynamically developing technological industries, so such predictions cannot be ruled out. Computing power increases, improves error correction (which are by the laws of physics on which quantum machines are based) and more. Microsoft has recently presented the calculation system Majorana 1which (as its creators say) is based on completely newexotic state of concentration created in the laboratory.
Numerous applications: Advanced calculations in the field of physics are just one of the applications. Others are simulating the behavior of moleculestheir connections and chemical reactions between them, which pharmaceutics will successfully use new drugs. In the future, quantum computers may also be used for training artificial intelligence.
The competition drives progress: For now, the American giant predictions are more speculation than a serious forecast. However, in recent years, competition in the field of technology related to quantum computers has gained momentum. Not only others joined the game, native tycoons, but above all Chinese. And it is competing with Beijing that can become the main impulse for faster development of new, quantum solutions.
