Google specialists announced successful completion experimental work to create a new quantum a supercomputer that is a hundred million times more powerful than regular PCs. At computer design uses the laws of quantum physics, thanks to which the supercomputer will be able to solve tasks in millions of times faster than ordinary personal Computers
Back in 2013, Google acquired together with NASA The first quantum computer from the Canadian company D-Wave. At this development moment is stored in the premises of the Research Center NASA, where it is used to solve complex problems in the field quantum optimization and finding answers to numerous questions in terms of quantum computing systems.
When used properly, the D-Wave computer can solve all sorts of problems 3600 times faster than this makes the most powerful supercomputer running on a similar structure. In theory, quantum devices will cope with complex operations millions of times faster and more productive, than everyone else.
The whole secret of these speeds is to use several interesting features of quantum physics. The thing is, that the standard bits that are used in traditional computer systems can have only two values, 0 and 1, and quantum bits, because called “qubits,” able to go over and in the third state, when the first two numbers are combined into one whole. In addition, the quantum nature of the Canadian company’s computer D-Wave is very different from generally accepted scientific principles, used by scientists in quantum computing technology. In connection with many experts even doubt that the supercomputer uses the laws of quantum mechanics when working. But the results, shown by the computer during testing, simply amazing. The device demonstrates the highest performance and unprecedented hitherto speed, which can only be achieved with quantum computing.
In order to compare the results of a supercomputer with normal, during the tests the algorithm was executed “quantum annealing” on two devices at once – under development D-Wave and on an ordinary personal computer with a powerful filling. Canadian computer performance exceeded expectations scientists.
