Finland’s first 5-qubit quantum computer is now operational

  1. Notably the key technologies like the processor, cooling equipment and software have all been made in Finland.

  2. I googled what quantum computers would be used for and got this answer:

    >Quantum computers can be used in taking large manufacturing data sets on operational failures and translating them to combinatoric challenges that, when paired with a quantum-inspired algorithm, can identify which part of a complex manufacturing process contributed to incidents of product failure

    I don’t know what that means really.

  3. As a Physics and CS student, the race for Quantum Computing really excites me. Right now, the US leads with as many QC patents then the next 9 countries combined. China is definitely going to be America’s toughest competitor. As a Nordic, I am so proud of Finland and maybe I’ll work there in the future who knows.

  4. I’m behind on all this, but I’m assuming they’ve finally figured out quantum processing? It’s been some years so I don’t remember all the details of it but that’s huge!
