The world's smallest quantum processor developed
Technologies quantum computing is progressing at an impressive rate and there is every reason to believe that sooner or later they will replace the usual processors.
Usually news associated with quantum processors boil down to how many qubits the engineers of a company managed to fit into the processor, but this time the record was not broken in performance, but in size.
Intel has successfully created the world's smallest workable quantum chip, its size does not exceed 50 nanometers. According to Intel developers, they will be able to place up to 1500 qubits on material with a human hair thickness.
The new development also has a significant drawback - its operating temperatures are somewhere in the region of absolute zero, and this will seriously complicate its use, because it will require the creation of a specialized environment, which is not possible in principle with ordinary users.
So far, this feature remains one of the main obstacles to the entry of quantum processors into our daily lives and a real revolution in the field of computing devices.
