If the question is when quantum computing will become something that anyone can use from their own home? The answer is that this is already possible. In 2016, IBM added a small quantum computer to the cloud. Anyone can design and run their own quantum circuits on this computer. A quantum circuit is a sequence of basic steps that perform a quantum calculation. https://www.ibm.com/quantum-computing/technology/experience/.
Not only is IBM’s quantum computer free to use, but this quantum computer has a simple graphical interface. It is a small, not very powerful machine – much like the first home computers – but hobbyists can start playing. Even though the price of the first commercial Canadian base ( Vancouver ) Quantum Computer is approximately US$15,000,000. Everyone can use Quantum computers FREE in their home since 2016.
Since 2018 D-Wave is also providing one minute of free access to one of its D-Wave 2000Q quantum computers, meaning that anyone can submit and run the applications on the system and see the results in just seconds. One minute might not seem like much, but D-Wave insisted it’s enough to run between 400 and 4,000 problems, thanks to the speed at which its system can perform calculations. Users can also pay for more time if they wish, with pricing starting at $2,000 per hour.
Chinese web giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.’s cloud arm is adding quantum computing to its growing list of services since 2018. The company’s cloud computing customers can access its quantum computer to run code and perform experiments. They made it easier for the teams to experiment with quantum applications in a real environment to better understand the property and performance of the hardware, as well as leading the way in developing quantum tools and software globally.
Google Bristlecone can handle quantum information of 72 qubits, the largest of its kind to date. IBM’s quantum processor is second to it which includes 50 qubits. If a quantum computer operating at a low error rate, can outperform the classical supercomputer, it is called quantum supremacy. It is something Google aims to achieve with Bristlecone. Google claimed that Bristlecone provides low error rates for readout (1%), single-qubit gates (0.1%), as well as two-qubit gates (0.6%).
Google said that quantum supremacy can be achieved with 49 qubits, a circuit that includes the depth over 40, and a two-qubit error below 0.5%. Google Bristlecone will soon on the cloud .
Microsoft is bringing quantum apps to life with an easy to use tool set, deep integration with leading development environments, and open-source resources. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/quantum/development-kit The QDK is now connected to Azure, bringing limitless scale and instant access to state-of-the-art quantum hardware and solutions.
