Quantum computing<\/a> is poised to reach a tipping point in three to five years by becoming useful for solving real-world problems, as computers harnessing about 500 qubits become a reality, according to Chinese start-up SpinQ.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2018 and based in Shenzhen, SpinQ has two main product lines: small-scale nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) quantum computers with about three qubits for educational use and industrial-grade superconducting quantum computers with up to 20 qubits.<\/p>\n

In 2020, SpinQ launched the world\u2019s first programmable desktop NMR quantum computer. In 2023, it shipped a superconducting quantum chip to the Middle East<\/a>, marking China\u2019s first export of such technology.<\/p>\n

SpinQ said it sold a range of products \u2013 including educational quantum computers, superconducting quantum computers, chips, quantum measurement and control systems and application software \u2013 to over 40 countries.<\/p>\n

But SpinQ founder and CEO Xiang Jingen said quantum computing still had a lot of work to do before it was broadly applicable.<\/p>\n

He compared today\u2019s quantum technology to semiconductors in the 1950s, a time when computers were expensive and large and transitioning from vacuum tubes to transistors \u2013 and then to integrated circuits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Quantum computing is poised to reach a tipping point in three to five years by becoming useful for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":296074,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3164],"tags":[4177,30417,4573,109808,1395,3284,867,18868,109805,3772,40614,507,3359,104868,10743,109807,53,41327,16,15,109806,109809],"class_list":["post-296073","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-computing","tag-amazon-com","tag-anhui-province","tag-boston","tag-ceyuan-ventures","tag-china","tag-computing","tag-google","tag-harvard-university","tag-hefei","tag-ibm","tag-jensen-huang","tag-microsoft","tag-nvidia","tag-quantum-starling","tag-shenzhen","tag-spinq","tag-technology","tag-tsinghua-university","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-ustc","tag-xiang-jingen"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114925670127145644","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/296073","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=296073"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/296073\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/296074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=296073"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=296073"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=296073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
