Computer science over the world floating and above investors those who love-Shysics quantum is the idea that will change everything soon. Quantum computers We will design new drugs, new batteries and more. And then they will break Standard encryption protocolsBefore escaping our credit card data, you can buy one of these miracles.
You can’t swing at the same time Dead and alive cat Without other claims, without taking advantage of the magical quantum computation, the physicists of Quit-Physicist Richard Feynman had almost anticipated scientists 45 years ago.
The problem is that physics may need it for him “another type of machine“This takes advantage of Quantic physics’ Tantalize Jewelry requires Really tough physics. Whether Microsoft or Amazon or pressed in the press notes, however, remains a nobility.

For now, it seems your encrypted safe data (ISH). “It seems always five years away“As an observer of the financial industry said Wall Street Journal In February, talking about technologyor 20 yearsBy Nvidia’s Jensen by Huang.
Or maybe it will never come. Today’s quantum computing investors basically compete for competing physics experiments in a derby, to create Feynman’s machine. While they have made progress, it has not been created clean winners. That’s all the claims moves to practical use and demonstrations of small quantum computers Overcoming Common in special cases.
The basic problem, however, is that “Qubits” strong At the heart of a quantum computer, as opposed “Bits” simpler A laptop has been processed Hard physics for making.
Today’s computers manipulate bits, which are fixed in a value of 0 or 1. They make fashionable calculations in the assembly line. Instead of cows, in the superposition between 0 and 1, there were several interruptions, like the poor cat Schrödinger. Their value is included in a Qualbit number of options between 0 and 1. Instead of a bit line, a link line, or “associated”, effectively solve them in exponentially fast jumps while making all possible values at once.
The problem has found the right voice While calculations are very fragile, which can lead to disqualifying error rates. This has progressed additional advances. The last round comes from Microsoft February forecast of a Quantum computer “topological”dip Registration of newsand with a friend In experimental paper Nature. (Nature and American scientific They are both nature of nature. Basically, Windows makers can cause the effect of bloody edges within superconducting aluminum wires. This influence is an induction of A still theoretical particle of malpractice Magnetically playing as electrons and anti-electron (antimatter) in these meats. That magnetic condition “quastiparticle“It’s qualbit inside the thread.
Theoretically Qualbit would be more stable to interfere with the two ends of the wire to destroy the information coded at the same time. Microsoft said in the newsnars: “The Majora 1 Processor offers a clean line to adapt a million ABEQ in a chip in one’s hand”, quibit threshold refers to a available quantum computer.
That’s great, except NatureEditors, Critics stated soonIncluded peer review note He didn’t have some news version claims with Microsoft examination. In particular, they certainly noted that the paper was certainly “Majorana Zero modes“On your computer. Translated, that means they want to see more evidence. (Microsoft claimed that he created these quastiparticles in 2018, it must be done alone Claim backcertainly adding to the examination.)
Google also convert AQuantum cutting-edge chip“He used to compute last December, and used” transmons “quilits, First proposal In 2007. These are based on oscillators that travel within 150 full micrometer condensers. This willow chip has 105 ABEIT. 999,895 only to go. Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg Soon Throw in doubt In technology, disappointing quantum computer shares.
And finally, to finish in February, Amazon announced Quantum computation fee for “Ocelot” with nine utiles, along with him own Nature paper. That it is manipulated Resonator superconductor To serve as a Qubbit, whose error tolerance “cat” qbits (appointed honorary) Schrödinger’s Kittennatch) are controlled by photons, or Light particles. The skills to correct catfighting mistakes were first It has been demonstrated in 2020.
Other perspectives in quantum computing were interrupted by only ions, such as spinning only cadmium ion In a quit, it would use a circuit or Inside the foton laser pulses Like photodentectors read the quillas.
Are great bets on the physics of the twentieth century as well Notable progress come from the last decadeIt is possible to see a quantum cup of half instead of half empty. There are many ways to explain the way to the quantum computing cat.
However, there is no certainty that one of the following models will eventually work. This lights the fears of the area, like a nuclear melt, is physically possible, but Sisyphean technology, always 20 years away.
The mystical approaches to create a quantum computer, temporary interim-provisional, whether they will scale a million million-quit scope, the field is still strengthened in adolescence. New chips ads, new chips ads, Along with Wall Street HypeThreaten technology bubble threaten a new way Ai is disappearingwhich can explain a lot of attention to technology.
I write this as a science journalist Quantum computer story covered a proposal in the magazine Science In 1997 a Quantum computer in a coffee Based on the spectrometer of the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) (an idea It still continuesLike last year.) “Here is a lot of physics here and the quantum computer that works” in IBM David Pittnzo He told me then. He wasn’t kidding.
