IBM allows access to the world its quantum computer

IBM opened doors to its 5-qubit quantum processors for anyone to use by connecting it to the cloud. IBM’s dream to build a universal quantum computer more powerful than any supercomputer in the world, is sharing its latest progress with smaller quantum processors on the cloud for the world to join in.

TJ Watson Research Center, an hour north of New York City there is room with several hanging white cylinders, each surrounded by racks of servers about the size of fridges which cool their insides down to 0.015 degrees above 0 kelvin or about -459 degrees Fahrenheit.. A 50 qubits, quantum computer will be capable to run experiments that no traditional computer will be able complete, no matter how big or fast.. Each processor can run complex algorithms.

The  £2.07 billion ($3 billion) research commitment IBM made in 2014 to develop new computing technologies independent of Moore’s Law. IBM Research vice president of Science and Technology, Dr Dario Gil , a leading technologist who directs a global organization of 1500 researchers across 11 laboratories, says that his teams have a mandate to build technologies each decade that change the foundations of computing.. He is also responsible for IBM’s cognitive research to create scientific and technological breakthroughs to differentiate IBM solutions businesses and serves as an incubator for future cognitive industry solutions.
