From Fox News.com (Mar. 6):
IBM has announced a major new initiative to make universal quantum computers available commercially. IBM Q will offer up the power of quantum computation via the IBM Cloud platform, a first for the industry, and potentially a major step forward for the field.
Quantum hardware has already been made available by the likes of D-Wave, but its hardware is limited in the kinds of computation it can achieve. IBM Q marks the first time that a universal quantum computer is being offered up. A universal quantum computer is capable of tackling problems that are too large for a conventional system, so IBM Q would have many applications beyond what's possible with current technology.
IBM is pledging that universal quantum computing systems will be made available to select industry partners over the coming years. The company expects to increase the capabilities of the hardware as time goes on. [read more]
If IBM can build the quantum computer it’s a game changer—no, it’s revolutionary. The reader might want to refer to my blog entry “New Step Towards The Quantum Computer” for more information about quantum computers.
For full disclosure, I own some IBM stock.
