IBM's key quantum computing algorithm research completed a year ahead of schedule and can run on AMD standard chips
IBM announced that its key quantum computing algorithm has completed research a year ahead of schedule and can run on AMD standard chips. IBM's Vice President of Quantum Computing, Jay Gambetta, stated that the algorithm performs well in real-world environments, running 10 times faster than expected. This research is part of IBM's development plan for a quantum computer named "Starling," with the goal of achieving it by 2029. Meanwhile, Google also announced breakthroughs in its quantum computing algorithms, showcasing the rapid development of quantum computing technology
According to reports, IBM (IBM.US) has stated that a key quantum computing algorithm can run on AMD (AMD.US) standard chips. Jay Gambetta, Vice President of IBM's quantum computing business, indicated that this research shows IBM's algorithm can not only function in real-world environments but can also run on an AMD chip that is "not prohibitively expensive." Jay Gambetta stated, "The ability to actually implement the algorithm and demonstrate that it runs 10 times faster than required is a significant breakthrough," and he noted that this algorithm research was completed a year ahead of schedule, disclosed on Friday.
IBM is advancing a multi-year plan aimed at developing a quantum computer named "Starling" by 2029. Currently, the company is competing with Microsoft (MSFT.US) and Alphabet (GOOGL.US) to develop quantum computing technology. Earlier this week, Google announced a breakthrough in its quantum computing algorithm. Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai stated that the company's quantum computing chip "Willow" achieved "the first verifiable quantum advantage in history."
Quantum computers solve complex problems that would take traditional computers thousands of years to process through quantum bits (qubits). However, qubits are highly error-prone, and these errors can quickly overwhelm the effective computational results of quantum chips
