Chinese scientists working on world's first quantum computer

China Daily  

Chinese scientists are developing the world's first quantum computer, which will be much faster than current supercomputers and is expected to come into fruition in a few years, according to a top scientist. Chinese scientists are able to control the change between single particles and the quantum state, a big step in quantum communication and computing, said Bai Chunli, president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. An equation set might take the Tianhe-2 supercomputer 100 years to solve, but the quantum computer will solve it in just 0.01 seconds. China launched the world's first quantum satellite in 2016, leading the world in quantum communication.

Explained | What is ‘quantum supremacy’?

The Hindu  

The story so far: Tech websites and theoretical computer-science outlets were aflame earlier this week after a story in the U.K.-based Financial Times said Google had claimed to have achieved ‘quantum supremacy’. Because of quantum superposition, a quantum computer — if it works to plan — can mimic several classical computers working in parallel. Quantum supremacy refers to quantum computers …

AP Explains: The US push to boost ‘quantum computing’

Associated Press  

YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, N.Y. — A race by U.S. tech companies to build a new generation of powerful “quantum computers” could get a $1.3 billion boost from Congress, fueled in part by lawmakers’ fear of growing competition from China. What worries intelligence agencies most about the technology’s potential — and one reason for the heightened U.S. interest — is that a …

Google, Alibaba Spar Over Timeline for 'Quantum Supremacy'

Wired  

Google’s quantum computing researchers have been planning a party—but new results from a competing team at China’s Alibaba may have postponed it. But new results from Alibaba’s quantum researchers suggest Google’s published plans for Bristlecone can’t achieve quantum supremacy after all. Google’s researchers calculated that was enough to run a carefully chosen demonstration problem beyond the reach of any conventional …
