Russian scientists have successfully developed a 20-qubit quantum computer and aim to increase this number to between 50 and 100 qubits by the end of 2024. This development signifies a significant advancement in Russia’s quantum computing capabilities, surpassing their previous 16-qubit ion-based quantum computer. The initiative is part of a broader, ambitious roadmap to enhance their quantum computing technology, with potential applications ranging from drug discovery to logistics optimization
