NSF statement: New development in quantum computing

In this rendering, a trefoil knot, an iconic topological object, is shown coming out of a tunnel with an image of superconducting qubit chips reflected on its surface.

In Quantum supremacy using a programmable superconducting processor, in the Oct. 24 issue of the journal Nature, a team of researchers led by Google present evidence that their quantum computer has accomplished a task that existing computers built from silicon chips cannot. When verified, the result will add credence to the broader promise of quantum computing. In addition to funding a broad portfolio of quantum ...
