Atom Computing is the first to announce a 1,000+ qubit quantum computer
24 Oct 2023: Atom Computing announced that it has been doing internal testing of a 1,180 qubit quantum computer to be available to customers next year. This system represents a major step forward, from a system that operated only 100 qubits. While it won’t be possible to run an algorithm that relies on a full qubit count …

07 Oct 2023: Fujitsu and RIKEN in Japan launched a 64-qubit superconducting quantum computer and are constructing a 1000-qubit one. Besides providing this technology on the new hybrid quantum computing platform, Fujitsu will work to create a computing workload broker, an AI-based software that automatically selects computing …
read moreQuantum Computers Could Crack Encryption Sooner Than Expected With New Algorithm
02 Oct 2023: One of the most well-established and disruptive uses for a future quantum computer is the ability to crack encryption. A new algorithm could significantly lower the barrier to achieving this. The saving grace has been that today’s quantum processors are a long way from the kind of scale required. But according to …
