This world's coldest quantum computer will beat Google

This type of super cold quantum computer will defeat the projects that Google and IBM are researching.

ColdQuanta , a US-based company has partnered with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to create a quantum computer capable of locating fighter aircraft in the case of radar systems. of the army was partially destroyed.

According to the BBC, atoms in computers can calculate at very fast speeds after gathering data in the form of qubits (quantum bits) - this unit in quantum computers is the same as bits in classical computers.

To do this, the atoms in the computer must be extremely cold. In other words, this is the coldest computer in the world.

Despite appearing quite a lot in science fiction movies, quantum computer development is still in its early stages. Companies are just starting to create quantum systems, with the promise that they will outperform classical computers.

'Our mission in the next 40 months is to create a machine with thousands of qubits to solve national security situations' , shared Bo Ewald, CEO of ColdQuanta.

Besides the military, quantum computers can be applied in many fields such as drug preparation, investment strategy analysis, jailbreaking and solving problems in the field of transportation.

There are millions of ways to solve the above problems and quantum computers will come up with the most suitable solution in a snap. According to Ewald, even today's most powerful supercomputers take hours or days to calculate.

Technology companies such as IBM and Google are also participating in the production of superconducting quantum computers. Although they are also quantum, they use charged atoms (ions) instead of extremely cold neutral atoms.

If the ionic atoms in Google or IBM's superconducting quantum computers are set to 0.001 degrees kelvin, the neutral atoms in ColdQuanta's computer are cooled to 0.000001 degrees kelvin. This temperature is colder than anything we have ever known. To make it easier to imagine, the absolute zero temperature state is 0 degrees kelvin, equivalent to -273.15 degrees Celsius.

Andrew Daley, professor at Strathclyde University, UK, said that the colder the atom, the easier it is to control. Scientists can place atoms in 2- or 3-dimensional shapes, arranged closer together in computers.

The shape and position of the atoms are very important because having an extra atom means the machine's processing capacity is doubled.

Pasqal, a French quantum computer startup, is also developing a prototype system based on ColdQuanta's ideas. Pasqal's system will be available to energy corporations to efficiently calculate electric vehicle charging times. The goal of this is to help reduce the time it takes to charge all vehicles, while ensuring certain important vehicles are prioritized.

Currently, the benefits of quantum computers are still only promising. However, people can absolutely witness the benefits that quantum computers bring in the next few years thanks to systems from IBM, Google, ColdQuanta and some other companies.
