Google seems to be preparing to promote the development of commercial applications for quantum computing technology, such as he says the Bloomberg. The ultimate goal of the company is to offer quantum cloud services at some point.
Google says scientists and AI researchers will be able to access their quantum computers over the Internet.
Additionally, according to Bloomberg, Google has a new lab called “Embryonic quantum data center,” as well as an open source effort called ProjectQ to encourage developers to write code for quantum computers.
Unlike digital computers, which use the 1 and 0 digits to make calculations, quantum computers use subatomic quantum bits or qubits.
Qubits can be in multiple states at the same time and are therefore capable of doing more and more computations in parallel.
Last year, Google used the quantum computer D-Wave which he bought earlier to develop new quantum computing techniques that could have applications in areas such as chemistry.
But other companies such as Microsoft, IBM and Intel are also engaged in quantum computing, as every new technology that is being released also has the corresponding financial benefit from the company that will launch it first.
Earlier this year, IBM proceeded with her own efforts to commercialize technology with an API and SDK for public access to quantum computing through IBM Cloud. Last year, IBM launched Quantum Experience, allowing developers to run algorithms and experiments in the quantum processor of the company and to work with qubits individually.
And while commercial applications are still under development, Microsoft founder Bill Gates last year he was heard to be very optimistic about her development of the field, stating:
"There is a possibility that in six to 10 years cloud computing will provide supercovering using quantum computing”.
