Latest News on Quantum Computing
Quantum computing is an emerging technology that uses phenomena occurring on an atomic level to resolve complex problems that are beyond the realm of classical computers. Forming the core of superconducting quantum processors, this technology has made it possible to deliver chipsets with increasing computing speeds. In fact, by modeling atomic behavior that can only be seen under a powerful microscope, quantum computing has made it possible to solve tasks involving multiple variables.
Quantum computing use cases can be found in everyday applications, such as electric vehicles. It is even helping organizations to solve problems such as the energy challenge facing all of humanity in the backdrop of increasing carbon emissions. Quantum computers are smaller and lighter and require far less energy than classical computing systems while being more resilient, even in adverse external environments. Transforming the way computers work, quantum computing is introducing new efficiencies in how humans live and interact in an increasingly connected world.
