China is developing a computer that is 10 billion times faster than Google’s
America is at a standstill in the quantum computer race with China. The latest developments by Chinese scientists show a "significant breakthrough in computer science, achieving quantum computational advantage," according to state media Xinhua News Agency.
On Thursday, China's leading quantum research group published a new research paper in the journal Science, titled " Quantum Computational Advantage Using Photons, " outlines how a quantum computer prototype detected up to 76 photons through Gaussian boson (GBS) sampling ), a standard simulation algorithm, Xinhua said, adding that its ability to process complex problems is exponentially faster than most supercomputers.
Called “Jiuzhang,” the supercomputer prototype can drive GBS on a large scale, 100 trillion times faster than the world's fastest supercomputer. The researchers said their prototype processes 10 billion times faster than Google's 53-qubit quantum computer.
This finding suggests that China is on track for large-scale quantum computing – a quantum leap in computational advantage, otherwise known as "quantum supremacy," which could one day put the United States at a disadvantage in the field of modern battle.
"The quantum computational advantage is like a threshold," said Lu Chaoyang, a professor at the University of Science and Technology of China, "it means that, when the capacity of a new quantum computer prototype exceeds that of the most powerful traditional computer in the management of a particular task, shows that it is likely to make progress in many other areas ”.
In the comparison between the West and China, the East takes the lead. A computer of these powers can achieve very precise forecasting activities, if equipped with a sufficient amount of data. As China develops and explodes we, in the hands of clueless and fearful rulers, are imploding.
