What exactly is quantum computing? In simple terms, quantum computers use tiny particles to process information in new ways. The promise is quantum will eventually help solve challenges that are too difficult for today’s computers.
But building quantum computers, and making them work at a much larger scale, is a major, ongoing challenge. This EE Times article looks at IBM’s latest approach to the technology and what still needs to be solved. Our client, memQ CEO Charles Foley, shares his perspective on what’s ahead.
IBM has connected modular cryogenic units to scale quantum computing, but wiring, control, and interconnect hurdles remain.
