More Super than Supercomputers: Japan's Fujitsu, Riken develop second quantum computer

Firstpost  

Japan now has two quantum computers, both of which, are among the fastest in the world. Fujitsu and research institute Riken have successfully developed Japan’s second quantum computer which has a computing power of 64-qubits In a remarkable feat that is bound to push Japan far ahead of its neighbours in Asia, Fujitsu and research institute Riken have successfully developed Japan’s second quantum computer, as part of research efforts around the world to make the nascent technology practical. The 64-qubit quantum computer from Fujitsu and state-backed Riken will be integrated with a 40-qubit quantum computer simulator, as researchers work to eliminate the errors which prevent such systems from providing accurate results. “It’s kind of a first or second step, we still have a long way to go,” Shintaro Sato, head of Fujitsu’s quantum laboratory, told reporters. Governments and companies including IBM and Alphabet are pouring funds into research for quantum computers, which hold the promise of becoming millions of times faster than the fastest supercomputers.

Two normal computer bits can exist in four possible states—00, 01, 10, or 11. A quantum computer allows two quantum bits to represent the four states at the same time due to ‘superposition’ and ‘entanglement’ properties, akin to running four computers. A quantum computer’s power grows exponentially with more qubits but it also induces errors, making the system like a …
