Microsoft and Atom Computing set to launch commercial quantum computer next year

Quantum computing has up to now been one of those things that's always seemed to be on the horizon but just tantalizingly out of reach. Now though, Microsoft in partnership with Atom Computing have used the Ignite conference to announce a breakthrough in quantum computing that they say will allow them to deliver quantum computers based on this technology to commercial customers next year. Those machines will feature over 1,000 physical qubits. In case you haven't been keeping up with quantum speak, a qubit is a bit that can exist in multiple states at the same time. The problem with… [Continue Reading]
