I heard those Quantum computers are getting better everyday, especially with the new chip Google is developing. Thousands of times faster than the current chips. Even faster and the Boffins have greatly reduced the 'error' issues which earlier was the achillies heel of Quantum computers.All I can vaguely remember is that research into it was to be intensified. I wasn't aware that an Aussie company is on board yet it doesn't surprise me either. However, Quantum Brilliance cooperating with an Austrian company is one of six companies one of them being a German startup which are engaged in the project but will work on different aspects. Apart from the know-how, it's always a question of funding which, in turn, is based on a national or corporate strategy. It seems that Germany is ambitious to become a player in this field for which cooperation is vital and inevitable.
Basically, in Quantun mechanics an object can be in two places at the same time. With our current computer algorithms we have binary switches that are either on or off, up or down, ...
With the advent of Quantum computers these switches can be used twice, not just doubling the computing power but raising it exponentially. An amazing Scientific break through with most of the "error" issues sorted.
I heard we'll see great stuff pubically available in the next decade.
The fellow saying this on ABC also said, "imagine this new chip powering AI systems!" Wow! That's a bit scary. We're doomed!
