China unveils world’s first quantum computing machine

In a technological advancement that could dwarf the processing power of today’s supercomputers, a team of Chinese scientists have built the world’s first quantum computing machine that is 24,000 times faster than its international counterparts, paving the way to the ultimate realization of quantum computing beating classical computers. Now, they are using the high-performance single photon source and electronically programmable photonic circuit to build a multi-photon quantum computing prototype to run the Boson sampling task. At the same time, the prototype quantum computing machine is 10 to 100 times faster than the first electronic computer, ENIAC, and the first transistor computer, TRADIC, in running the classical algorithm, Pan said. It is the first quantum computing machine based on single photons that goes beyond the early classical computer, and ultimately paves the way to a quantum computer that can beat classical computers.
