American Google has created the world's most powerful quantum computer, capable of performing orders of magnitude faster than IBM's Summit, considered the world's most powerful supercomputer, according to the Financial Times.
The British newspaper writes that the calculation on which the device from IBM took 10 thousand years to complete, a computer from Google completed in 200 seconds, and this information, first published in a scientific report on the NASA website, was subsequently deleted. It is noted that at present, a quantum computer from Google is able to perform only one technical calculation, and the device will be ready to solve practical problems in a few years.
“As far as we know, the experiment represents the first calculation that can only be performed on a quantum processor,” the publication quoted the material. It also says that "such a serious acceleration compared with the well-known classical algorithms provides an experimental implementation of quantum superiority in the computational problem."
The newspaper writes that Google developers called their computer “an important milestone on the path to a full-scale quantum computing process,” and predicted that the increase in the power of quantum computers would be several times greater than the progression figures in Gordon Moore’s law.
