Intel Comes Out with Its New Quantum Computing Platform & CPU

Having Quantum computing as the future of computing in the horizon, Intel just debuted its first 49-qubit processor to the world at CES 2018, that is a historic move and the first official step toward Quantum computing.

Intel’s New Quantum Computing Platform & CPU

Intel Comes Out with Its New Quantum Computing Platform, Yes it is 2018 and we are seeing the first step toward the Quantum Computing era.  Intel’s Quantum computing projects has resulted 3 prototypes: led by a 49-Qubit quantum chip codenamed Tangle Lake. The codename Tangle Lake is rooted to 2 concepts in quantum computing systems. 1) the quantum entanglement that allows some quantum workloads to be executed and 2) the ultra cold temperatures required for such chips to function. Intel unveiled “Tangle Lake”, a 49-qubit superconducting quantum test chip. Intel has made efforts with a 7-qubit prototype, then a 17-qubit prototype and finally, the current 49-qubit prototype. Many experts have predicted that quantum computing will solve problems that today might take our best supercomputers months or years to solve like financial modeling and climate forecasting.

Quantum is now considered the next big frontier in computing, while companies like Intel, IBM and Google racing to develop the technology to implement it. They have the potential to be far more powerful than traditional computers: where a normal bit of information is stored as either a 1 or a 0, a qubit takes advantage of the quirks of quantum physics to store data as 1, 0 or both at the same time. The exponential growth with each added qubit means that a system with 5 qubits is about the equivalent of 32 regular bits.
