A future quantum computer could potentially solve problems that are essentially impossible for even the most powerful supercomputer. The magic comes from the nature of quantum physics. While traditional computers operate on bits that can be in only one of two states, a quantum qubit is probabilistic, occupying some combination of those two states. This property opens the door to exponentially faster computations.Today's quantum computers generally aren't capable of solving real-world problems quicker than t ...

IBM股价再攀历史高峰。 为了实现2029年的Starling目标，IBM已制定了详细的里程碑计划。据报道，该公司将在今年晚些时候推出IBM Quantum Loon，用于测试特 定的架构组件，为最终的容错系统铺路。 公司股票周二上涨1.5%，收于276.24美元，超越了周一刚刚创下的前收盘纪录。而这已是IBM股价连续第八个交易日上涨。自今年初以来， 其股价累计涨幅已超25%。 此轮强劲上涨的直接催化剂，源于IBM在量子计算领域的重大宣告。 据Investopedia 6月10日报道，IBM表示，已规划出一条"可行路径"，旨在到本世纪末建成并推出世界首台能够大规模处理复杂任务、具 备"容错"能力的实用化量子计算机。这一宣告极大提振了市场对IBM在下一代计算领域领导地位的信心。 这台规划中的未来量子计算机被命名为"IBM Starling"。据该公司透露，这台计算机的运算能力将是目前存在的量子计算机的20,000倍。如 此强大的计算能力有望在药物研发、材料发现、化学模拟及复杂优化等领域"显著加速进程并降低成本"。 IBM特别解释了"容错"量子计算机的含义及其重要性。据IBM技术说明，容错量子计算机能够有效抑制在 ...

IBM Quantum roadmap, processors, and infrastructure outline clear path to IBM Quantum Starling, expected to be first large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer  Breakthrough research defines key elements for an efficient fault-tolerant architecture — charting the first viable path toward a system projected to run 20,000 times more operations than today's quantum computers Representing the computational state of IBM Starling would require the memory of more than a quindecillion (1048) of the world's most ...
