IBM is now officially testing a prototype quantum processor with 50 quantum bits, or qubits, the company noted first in late November.
The 50-qubit is around the number needed to meet a sought-after milestone: demonstrating that quantum computers can perform specific tasks that are beyond the reach of traditional computers. Unlike standard bits, which represent either 0 or 1, qubits can indicate a combination of the two, using what’s called a quantum superposition.
This property allows quantum computers to now perform certain kinds of calculations extremely quick. But because quantum bits are more finicky than standard bits, scaling up is not a simple task. Previously, IBM’s largest quantum processor showcased 17 qubits.
A race is on to commercialize quantum computers, making them available to companies that want to solve problems primarily suited to quantum machines, such as designing new materials or speeding up the search for new medical drugs.

Having previously made a quantum computer with 20 cubic meters, IBM is gathering serious information about the researchers contributing to the development of quantum processors. I searched this topic a bit; Quantum computers, seen as the future of advanced computing technology, have a different operating system than traditional computers. Instead of 0s and 1s, bits on quantum computers using cubes can be both 0s and 1s. This is provided by the effects known as 'transposition and superposition' in quantum.
Most of us won’t ever get to own a quantum computer, or even glimpse one, but it’s very possible that our future lives and work will be completely dominated by its applications.
the science is amazing
And I'm here still using Windows 98.
learned many thing, informative post.. keep it up
WELCOME to #STEEMIT..,I am also a beginner in steemit,I hope we can work together,I am sure you are a great writer,so you show all your works in this #STEEMIT ,if you like short story,follow me @aitbilal, Now i am in the process of writing a short story that i will post on the #STEEMIT platform..Thanks for your
Wow amazing Post...your technology all time best... thanks friend..
Amazing detailing by IBM, will beyond any doubt look forward to the 50 qubit prototype quantum computers!
Why hasn't someone asked, how much does quantum benefit miners? Thanks.
