China Builds The World's First Quantum Super Computer & It's 24,000 Times Faster Than Its Counterparts.
China has been achieving technological advancement in record
time and they have been surpassing everyone when it comes to building
computers. A team of scientists from Eastern China have built the word's first
and fastest super computer that is 24,000 times faster than its international
counterparts.
The quantum computer was built by scientists at the
University of Science and Technology of China which made them the first to
achieve this goal. Quantum computing machines are faster than any machine we
use in our daily lives and the super computer is capable of calculating the
complex behaviour of subatomic particles. Woah!
The researchers claim that the
quantum computer can surpass the processing power of any other supercomputer in
existence and that this computing power can be used for ultra-fast parallel
calculations and simulations.
Practical use of the quantum
computer might not be feasible at the moment; however, the future for computing
complex particles looks very bright.
“Our architecture is feasible
to be scaled up to a larger number of photons and with a higher rate to race
against increasingly advanced classical computers,” the researchers said in a
study, published in the journal Nature Photonics on Tuesday
The quantum computing machine
is the first that functions on single photons and China already built the
world's first hack-proof quantum satellite last year.
We can expect things to scale up as other nations might up
the ante by developing their own quantum super computers to match China's super
machine. Whether India will develop its own quantum super computer in response
remains to be seen.
