The Week in Quantum Computing - November 14th
Issue #113
The Week in Quantum Computing. Brought to you by Sergio Gago (@piratecto).
Quick Recap
This week clearly goes to IBM and their amazing announcements. Early 2023 we will have available the Osprey QPU with 433 qubits plus other goodies that will help push the industry forward. The other big eclipse was Xanadu with their series C funding round of $100M becoming a Quantum Unicorn. Fujitsu launches their hybrid HPC/Quantum platform that promises to link those hybrid approaches (as we’ve said many times, Quantum has more similarities with HPC than traditional computing).
Some more notes on the IBM release
And if you want to know more about its implications, Doug Finke’s The Quantum Computing Report has a fantastic analysis of its implications.

100 Times Longer Than Previous Benchmarks – A Quantum Breakthrough
Quantum computing engineers have set a new standard for silicon chip performance. In the world of quantum computing, two milliseconds, or two thousandths of a second, is a very long period of time. On these timescales, a blink of an eye — one-tenth of a second — seems like eternity.

How fast are quantum computers (part 1)
The point of quantum computers is that, once created, they will solve problems too complex for any present or future supercomputer. To a layperson, this sentence is equivalent to “quantum computers are much faster than any supercomputer will ever be”.
