Intel says it has solved a key bottleneck in quantum computing


Image
Intel just took a significant step toward making quantum computing more practical. The company and QuTech say they've demonstrated the first instance of high-fidelity two-qubit control using its Horse Ridge cryogenic control processor. Quantum computers normally run into an interconnect bottleneck by using room-temperature electronics to steer a refrigerated quantum chip — the demo showed that Horse Ridge could achieve the same fidelity (99.97 percent) as those 'hotter' electronics.

Yeah Spike, if we get actually successfully computing operations, as opposed to mere entanglements (D-Wave), it's game over, except for specialized uses for digital computing. That's it! Second impact will be you will see the Age of the Jetson's because once these ultra-cold computers get harnassed (if this intel thing works?), we will see huge advances in technology.

Other than cracking the security of digital computing and therefore being useful to cyber-criminals who want to bypass the safeguards of those of us who cannot afford quantum computers (I am guessing this is going to be 99% of us if these things come with the sort of almighty price tag early digital computers had) what practical use does quantum computing have?

I seem to recall reading that quantum computing could help make molecular nanotechnology a reality, so that’s maybe one thing? Anything else that makes it worth pursuing this technology that’s going to result in most of us being totally vulnerable to cybercrime (let’s face it, a lot of banks for ordinary folk can’t even be bothered to update the security on their run-of-the-mill digital computers, let alone invest in ultra-expensive quantum computing to protect the bank accounts of Joe and Jane Bloggs)?
