Amazon touts its first quantum computing chip a week after Microsoft's unveiling
Amazon revealed its first chip for quantum computing, and said its design will help the online retailer build highly efficient hardware systems.
Amazon on Thursday revealed its first chip for quantum computing, and said the design is a step toward building efficient high-scale systems.
The processor is called Ocelot, and the announcement comes as more tech companies tout their advancements in quantum. Last week, Amazon cloud rival Microsoft showed off its inaugural quantum chip. Microsoft had a paper in the journal Nature documenting its quantum work, and this week Amazon followed suit.
I'm starting to think these Quantum chips are the new flex for tech giants these days. First Microsoft, now Amazon. I'm waiting for Walmart to drop a quantum chip that helps you find the shortest checkout line 🥹🙏
