Examples of quantum computing implementations
- For much of history of quantum computing, the concepts were theoretical and documented in complex mathematics. Fortunately, since the late 1990s, actual quantum computers have been built. Since that time, major advances have been made. Systems that support many qubits are now being used, albeit in an advanced, experimental stage. They're available for both enterprises and individuals to use. Much work remains and a high performance, fault-tolerant solution does not yet exist. Let's explore a few examples of actual quantum computing implementations. IBM is a major quantum computing player. They have been researching and experimenting in the space for many years. Today, they have several physical prototype machines and simulators. Called the Q series, these computers are in a few global locations. They differ in their implementations, including number of qubits supported, which range from five to 32. These systems are available to the public to use. IBM does have experimental machines…
