Chinese scientists claim to have built the world’s fastest programmable quantum computers, which appear to crack problems that are currently not feasible for ”classical” non-quantum computers.
The researchers led by Pan Jianwei from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), said one of the quantum computing systems — Zuchongzhi 2.1 — is a million times more powerful than its nearest competitor, Google’s Sycamore.
Their programmable superconducting quantum computer, named after a 5th-century mathematician, is 10 million times faster than the world’s fastest supercomputer, the scientists said.
Besides, their photonic quantum computer based on light — Jiuzhang 2 — can carry out calculations 100 trillion times faster than the world’s fastest existing supercomputer, the physicists noted in another study, published in the journal Physical Review Letters on Monday.
In conventional computers, the most basic unit of information is a bit, and data is fundamentally stored in binary codes of 1s and 0s. On the other hand, quantum computers make use of the special properties of the smallest particles in the universe which can exist in multiple states — as zeros and ones at the same time, or in any position between.
This flexibility of quantum particles allows for quantum bits, or qubits, using which many different calculations can be performed simultaneously, scientists said.

So will this solve the lag issue in Minecraft?
No, but it will make cracking blockchain easier.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.
Come on man... It was funded by the NIH and CDC under Fauci direction.
And then they applied Windows Updates and the computer was never the same again.
Not the only article or subject recently claiming china is way ahead of us. Seems like someone wants US citizens to be scared of china.
Yup, the Chicoms have cranked up the psyops as of late.
The only Pipe wrench i had to literally take apart and fix was made in china.
The reason nation states are so interested in quantum computers is to crack public-key encryption.
The factoring of large primes is one thing that quantum computers could do once the bugs are worked out.
Some public-key data can be decrypted now, but definitely NOT in real-time. The various intelligence agencies want to decrypt all web traffic in real-time.
Even with working quantum devices the scales will always tilt toward those who wish to keep secrets...quantum computing is not a magic wand that can decrypt all data.
Some forms of symmetric encryption are mathematically provable to be safe from quantum computer decryption.
From the country that has to steal all of its technology from others comes a global breakthrough in quantum physics.
Ok.
They will prove it when they destroy our civilization. When our carriers sink, and all communications go dark. You may hear explosions all around you, or it may be when everyone starts convulsing, foaming from the mouth and bleeding from the eyes.
The Chicoms are world class bluffers and pathological LIARS on super steroids.
Did you not hear about the hypersonic missile?
I don’t believe it. I have personally interviewed some US professors who teach in Chinese universities and the Chinese students are the most programmed students anyone could ever want. The professors like that the students do and say exactly what they are told, the universities are brand new and well apportioned, etc.
And when I ask where they do their own research, they ALWAYS say back in their home university in the USA. They can make things happen here and the students ask questions totally outside the box. The Chinese students are too afraid to go outside the box, because failure resides there.
I heard a lot of OVERHYPED NONSENSE.
Yeah but these days, fedgov and the msm on on the side of china. Was the supersonic nuke thing real or made up by our msm/mil?
Is this even possible? Especially for the ChiComms?
