Google & NASA's Quantum Computer 100 Million Times Faster Than Any Apple Or Microsoft Laptop Ever Released?

Google collaborated with NASA to build the Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab or Quantum Al Lab, to work with binaries that are beyond the knowledge of artificial intelligence. The project is said to outperform the leading computer giants in the market today with a speed that is 10 million times faster than regular computers. 

According to MIT Technology Review, Google has concrete evidence that their celebrated machines can read quantum physics faster than any standard computer nowadays. In fact, both the government and leading computer giants have been trying to make quantam computers themselves. 

They said that the use of quantum can introduce a different way to unlock massive "data-crunching powers." Computer companies believe that quantum can help make their software's artificial intelligence more commanding, compared to what normal software can do.

They can help pave the way for certain scientific advancements, in areas such as "materials science." NASA is looking forward to the fact that quantum computers could potentially be a big help for them, if, for example, they can set the timetable of rocket launches or "simulate future missions and spacecraft," for example.

"It is a truly disruptive technology that could change how we do everything," said Rupak Biswas, director of exploration technology at NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California. He revealed in a media briefing at the research center about the works they have done with their machine, which they bought in Canada in 2013.

The D-Wave systems were dubbed as "the world's first commercial quantum computer." They have been installed at NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California, and have been powered by using the "superconducting chip," quantum annealer.

The quantum annealer is known as the heavily coded device with an algorithm that can be used with "optimization problems," which is commonly used to learn the ways of the machines and artificial intelligence software, as well. 

ScienceAlert added that Google said that they have the huge D-Wave 2X quantum "computing machine" than can read algorithms 10 million times faster than common computer chips can. Hence, they will make a big difference in dealing with computer data in the future. 

In quantum computing (which is also closely related to quantum mechanics), quantam bits, also called "quibits," can impressively read the values of 1, 0, or both, compared to the traditional 1 or 0 bits. According to Science Alert, "The qubits are the little particles suspended in the highest temperature just above absolute zero."

With more 'qubits,' the obtainable processing rate can go extremely high. Fortunately, big data problems can now be solved with the help of quantum computers, like weather forecasts, chemical analysis, and others.
