Amazon unveils its first quantum computing chip

Live Mint  

Amazon.com’s cloud-computing business on Thursday unveiled its first-ever quantum computing chip, which it claims marks an important step in the development of useful, reliable quantum computers. Amazon’s Ocelot chip is a prototype, not a “full-blown quantum system," said Oskar Painter, head of quantum hardware for AWS. Amazon has created a new approach for quantum error correction, said Paul Smith-Goodson, a quantum computing analyst at technology research firm Moor Insights & Strategy. Still, there’s a fair amount of skepticism that should be applied to any quantum development, said Heather West, an analyst focused on quantum computing at research firm International Data Corp. “I would categorize this as much more of an advancement and less of a breakthrough," West said, referring to Amazon’s Ocelot chip.
