Vladimir Putin was shown a 16-qubit quantum computer on ions, on which the algorithm for calculating a molecule has been launched using a cloud platform - its real-time simulation. At the moment, this is the most powerful quantum computer in the country. It was created as part of the implementation of the 'road map' for quantum calculations by a team of scientists from the Russian Quantum Center and the I.P.
