Quantum computing is closer to reality than many think.
Overview: Today's high-performance cloud simulators surpass previous limits in handling qubits and accurately replicate complex quantum systems. Community-
Quarterly filings reveal IonQ's accelerating revenue growth, while Rigetti's figures remain subdued. Explore how these trends are reshaping the quantum sector.
The day when a quantum computer manages to break common encryption, or Q-Day, is fast approaching, and the world is not close to being ready
The world of quantum computing has its fair share of believers and sceptics. While some call it the technology of the future that could see many modern technologies like cryptography rendered useless,
One huge issue Rigetti is facing right now is that as the number of qubits in the system increases, its accuracy quickly declines. Its largest 108-qubit system only has a 99% two-qubit gate accuracy. Seeing accuracy decline as computing power increases isn't a good sign, and Rigetti has a lot of work to do, especially against its competition.
The quantum computing race is heating up.
But RSA worked until the advent of quantum computers. These machines harness the physics of subatomic particles to process information in fundamentally different ways, including factoring long strings of numbers.
Quantum computers stand to revolutionize research by helping investigators solve certain problems exponentially faster than with conventional computers. Current quantum computers encounter a challenge where they lose stored information in a process known as quantum scrambling.
Pure plays such as IonQ and Rigetti Computing dominate the quantum computing narrative, but one member of the "Magnificent Seven" may be the better buy.
