IBM has made great strides in becoming bigger and stronger quantum computers By linking two such devices together and performing calculations beyond the capabilities of a single one. The result is a positive sign that the company’s commitment to a modular approach to scaling up quantum computers is feasible.
Quantum computers promise to be able to solve some problems much faster than conventional devices, but major hurdles remain, including making the computers large enough while reducing errors. Different research groups and companies are taking different approaches…
