Quantum Computing - Quantum Computers - Evolution

 


SAP and Quantum Technologies

November 19, 2021 by Corinna Machmeier


According to a study by McKinsey, quantum computing could have a global market value of US$1 trillion by 2035.


Already, annual investments across the world are estimated to be US$22.5 billion, and analysts at IDC predict that 25% of the Fortune Global 500 will gain competitive advantage from quantum computing by 2023.


What SAP Is Doing

SAP has been conducting research into quantum technologies for many years and has built up considerable expertise in the process.

First quantum computer to pack 100 qubits enters crowded race
IBM’s newest quantum-computing chip, revealed on 15 November, established a milestone of sorts: it packs in 127 quantum bits (qubits), making it the first such device to reach 3 digits. But the achievement is only one step in an aggressive agenda boosted by billions of dollars in investments across the industry.

This new startup has built a record-breaking 256-qubit quantum computer
QuEra Computing, launched by physicists at Harvard and MIT, is trying a different quantum approach to tackle impossibly hard computational tasks.

In 2019, Google announced that its 53-qubit machine had achieved quantum supremacy—performing a task not manageable by a conventional computer—but IBM challenged the claim. The same year, IBM launched its 53-bit quantum computer. In 2020, IonQ unveiled a 32-qubit system that the company said was the “world’s most powerful quantum computer.” And just this week IBM launched its new 127-qubit quantum processor, which the press release described as a “minor miracle of design.” “The big news, from my perspective, is it works,” says Jay Gambetta, IBM’s vice-president of quantum computing.

Now QuEra claims to have made a device with far more qubits than any of those rivals.
