An overview of major quantum computing approaches as IBM, Google, Microsoft, and others work towards making quantum computers a reality
Quantum computing could help companies address problems as huge as supply chains and climate change. Here's how IBM, Google, Microsoft … Tweets: @intelnews , @vkopytoff , @cocquyt , @fitzdavidson , and @hudsonquantum Tweets: @intelnews : .@Jim_in_Oregon, head of quantum hardware at Intel, compares putting a man on the Moon to the development of modern electronic computers. “We're not trying to meet some short-term, flashy goal, but we're trying to build that rocket ship to the Moon.” http://bit.ly/2Wlj5BS Verne Kopytoff / @vkopytoff : IBM's CEO thought the company's new quantum computer looked like a trash can. So they hired a fancy design firm to give it a sci-fi makeover. http://fortune.com/... via @rhhackett Fletcher Cocquyt / @cocquyt : Business Bets on a Quantum Leap http://fortune.com/... “The trick only works while no one is watching, a bizarre but fundamental fact of quantum science. As soon as someone observes the system, everything collapses.” Tim Davidson / @fitzdavidson : In three years, 120,000 people have performed more than 10 million experiments and published more than 190 research papers using #IBM's so-called #quantum #cloud service — Business Bets on a Quantum Leap http://fortune.com/... Quantum Alliance Initiative / @hudsonquantum : “Companies across all industries are hoping to exploit quantum computing to surmount obstacles that have thwarted them for years. Nation-states are mobilizing, too, pouring billions of dollars into research” http://fortune.com/...
