The Trump administration has made quantum computing a priority with the authorization of $1.2 billion over five years for quantum-related activities across the federal government. “There are so many more technological challenges on the road ahead that it’s quite possible that other platforms for doing quantum computation may in the long term overtake it,” saidĪ professor of nanoelectronics at University College London.

It is yet to be determined whether Google’s approach is the right one, some experts say. are working to commercialize quantum computing using other scientific techniques that involve light and small particles. To venture-capital-backed startups such as IonQ Inc. Who specializes in data-center and cloud infrastructure. Google’s experiment “is proof we are making forward progress…but from the end-user standpoint it’s a nonevent,” saidĪn analyst at technology research and advisory firm Its research was met with mixed reaction from industry experts and competitors. Google is years away from building such a machine because it will have to contend with several hardware challenges related to things like wiring and making components much smaller.

But a commercial-grade quantum computer that could, for example, discover new drugs for diseases or new environmentally-friendly materials, could have as many as 1 million qubits. Martinis said.Ī so-called random number sampling is useful for generating passwords in near-real-time because randomness is a key component of modern security. In about six months, the staff is expected to move into a bigger lab in the area, where more engineers and physicists will be added to the team, Mr.

The lab comprises about 35 researchers and hundreds of millions of dollars worth of quantum-computing equipment.
