Many companies around the world are currently working on the development of a quantum computer that directly has the potential to change even the reality in which we live due to the impressive and fabulous calculation capacity that these computers have.
China has made marked progress in superconducting quantum computing and photonics quantum computing technology, making it the only country to achieve a quantum computational advantage in two mainstream technical routes.
First, the research team, headed by the renowned Chinese quantum physicist Pan Jianwei, designed a 66-qubit programmable superconducting quantum computing system, naming it "Zuchongzhi 2.1," after the noted 5th-century Chinese mathematician and astronomer, these computer is 10 million times faster than the current fastest supercomputer and its calculation complexity is more than 1 million times higher than Google's Sycamore processor, significantly enhancing the quantum advantage.
The new quantum computer can perform a calculation in 200 seconds that would take more than half a billion years on the world’s fastest non-quantum, or classical, computer.
In comparison with Google’s device, called Sycamore, which is based on tiny quantum bits made of superconducting materials, which conduct energy without resistance, Jiuzhang consists of a complex array of optical devices that shuttle photons around. Those devices include light sources, hundreds of beam splitters, dozens of mirrors, and 100 photon detectors.
The more important is that Quantum computers can be such a powerful technological weapon that they can have such important applications in many fields like graph theory, machine learning, quantum chemistry, and medicine that it´s worth following it with plenty of attention, and also to what extent who has the best quantum technology lead by the USA, China, and Russia.
The relevant topics of current research in quantum computing focus, among many other things, on reviewing the tolerance of logical errors of data in Qbits and the different applications to generate new networks of organized information in space, as well as advancing in the generation of technology and astrophysical applications, mathematics and new drugs based on nanotechnology with molecular biology.
It is important to know all this to make new forms of security and encryption protocols to protect the information in the new form of encryption of these quantum systems, and how to avoid the development of malicious tools that can affect traditional computing systems now that the era of the 5G internet, and the ecosystems of the Metaverse, Nubanks in Fintech and other applications such as blockchain and global commerce, is about to be applied globally for the benefit of science, technology, and economic systems worldwide.
