IBM Q System One: IBM introduced the world's first quantum computer system which may also exist outside the research lab at CES 2019 earlier this week.
Along with the new "in the box" quantum computing system, IBM launched the next era of computing.
The 20-qubit IBM Q System One represents the first major leap in 2019's quantum computers, but before we go over the techniques, let's look at a video:
To make it the first complete quantum computer designed for commercial use outside the lab, IBM enlisted the help of Goppion, a company responsible for styling large, museum-quality projects such as Universal Design Studio and the Map Project Office.
The result is not only (undoubtedly) a scientific first but also a stunning machine.
It is probably difficult to estimate the importance of intreatmentof quantum computers outside the labs. Some of the biggest hurdles in quantum computing have to do with mechanics. The universe is not easy to manipulate – or, at least, to observe – and the machines that attempt it usually require massive infrastructure.
So in order to disconnect such a system from the workshops, IBM had to understand how it can produce an over-cooling (necessary for quantum computation) in the box. This was achieved with the new cryogenic engineering.
Those who are familiar with the history of the company may remember that, since the 1940 decade, IBM's classic computers have been catching an entire room. Ultimately, these systems began to shrink. Today we wear them on our wrists and have more computational power than all of the company's first computers.
IBM Q System One is not the most powerful quantum computer. He is not the most powerful of IBM. But it is the first one that could technically be installed in a customer's place.
It is currently accessible through the company's cloud "Q" initiative which offers quantum computing.
