以下文章来源于科创板日报 ，作者张真 而在英特尔前首席执行官帕特·基辛格（Pat Gelsinger）看来， 量子计算仅需两年便可步入主流 。 日前接受《金融时报》采访时，基辛格 表示，量子计算将在两年内普及并加速戳破AI泡沫，且将在2030年前彻底取代GPU。在他看来，量子计算将与经典计算、AI计算共同构成 未来计算世界的"神圣三位一体"（Holy Trinity）。 这一预言在短短几天内便得到了部分验证：12月9日，量子硬件初创公司QuantWare正式发布了全新的量子处理器（QPU）扩展架构VIO- 40K，并计划于2026年实现量子芯片的大规模量产。在荷兰代尔夫特总部，公司正在积极建设Kilofab——这座全球最大且首个专门用于量 子芯片生产的晶圆厂。据称，这将使其产能较现有水平提升20倍。 值得注意的是，QuantWare宣称VIO-40K架构能够支持1万量子比特（qubit）的量子处理器， 相当于当前主流商用量子处理器的近100倍 。 如谷歌的Willow芯片是 105 个量子比特，而IBM的Heron系列是156个。 这是否意味着，量子计算加速取代GPU，已是板上钉钉的事实？ 尚未收敛的路线之争 ...
