Google, IBM make strides toward quantum computers that may revolutionize problem solving
Artificial intelligence is the magic of the moment but this is a story about what's next, something incomprehensible.
Tomorrow December 4, 2023, IBM will announce an advance in an entirely new kind of computing--one that may solve problems in minutes that would take today's supercomputers millions of years. That's the difference in quantum computing, a technology being developed at IBM, Google and others. It's named for quantum physics, which describes the forces of the subatomic realm. The science is deep and we can't scratch the surface, but we hope to explain enough so that you won't be blindsided by a breakthrough that could transform civilization.
The quantum computer pushes the limits of knowledge--new science, new engineering-- all leading to this processor that computes with the atomic forces that created the universe.
