Breakthrough in the USA: Google revealed a quantum processor

5
The Google division, Quantum AI Lab, has been able to take an important step towards creating a new generation of computers. This step was the new Bristlecone processor, which the company introduced at the American Physical Society on March 5 in Los Angeles.





Until now, the main obstacle to the creation of such devices has been the tendency of quantum computers to tolerate a huge number of errors in the calculation process. It is this problem that Google intends to solve, as well as make the production of quantum computers suitable for the mass market. According to Julian Kelly, head of Google Research, quantum computers based on the Bristlecone processor will leave behind traditional PCs in a number of areas.

In addition to the fact that the new brainchild of Google contains in its rather small volume of 72 qubits, its main advantage is technology correction of quantum errors. The 9-qubit predecessor Bristlecon allowed itself only 1% of errors; in the new processor with eight-fold superiority in qubits, it was possible to maintain this level.

A quantum computer is a computing device that uses the phenomena of quantum mechanics to process and transmit data.

Now these machines are used in a very narrow range of tasks in a limited number of large companies, primarily in cryptography - the science of privacy methods. Communications Industry Researchers analysts predict a significant increase in the quantum computing market by 2023. At the forefront of progress in this regard are IBM and Intel, and among potential consumers are companies such as Samsung, Daimler, Honda, JP Morgan and not only.

    Quantum computers make it impossible to get away from binary logic in mathematical computational processes. Moreover, it is impossible to construct an inextricable mathematical space on a function of a variable value of a number. To solve these fundamental problems without erroneous mathematical processes, it is necessary to use the function of a constant value of the number. These new properties of the number will allow us to move on to the logic built on all numbers of the natural series. Therefore, everyone wants to be the first, but the reality is that reality is not an illusion of our fantasies and desires.

    From the article, it seems like quantum computers use only to generate random numbers?

      Not even all mathematicians are able to distinguish what computing processes are and what analysis and modeling of the development of situations are, including the construction of a radial mathematical space of variations. Then and only then can we build an algorithmic space or build processes of the algorithmic development of mathematical processes. For example, the construction of the same number of primes, indefinite in their ultimate goal and indeterminate in the laws of interaction, can be represented by an algorithmic system and generally a spatial system in which the regularities of the arrangement of primes in such a space can be clearly traced. But very interesting is the new challenge. If, for example, we know the consequence of which numerical interactions is the Pi number and we know the numerical sequence and can already construct an algorithmic space for the interaction of these numbers, then the interaction of which numbers and which phenomenon is a series of primes. Already the first conclusions do not fit into the levels of perception of modern man.

        Is this current quantum computer really suitable for all of this? It seems that he is not able to execute the simplest classical logic, but only generate random numbers.

          This is surprising that everyone is moving in a direction that of course has positive effects, but does not solve the problem that is indicated by the main one. This is to perform the processing of super-large mathematical data and at the same time choose the optimal direction in the analysis of the development of the process and for all that it does not spend so much energy on the transmission of a single impulse. And after all, this is a purely mathematical problem at the core and from this it will become clear how a multipolar transistor should look in which the Number will express any pulse on its polarized parts. And in general, it’s time for scientists to understand that analysis as such means that physical processes in their dynamic transformation should be expressed by the very work of the system, and not by a forced computational mechanism
