Three different quantum computers with a capacity of 50 qubits may be created in Russia by the end of the year. This was announced by Ruslan Yunusov, Advisor to the General Director of the Rosatom State Corporation.
By the end of the year, it is planned to reach 50 qubits on the atomic platform. It is likely that another alternative computer on an ion platform with the same capacity will be presented.
If everything goes successfully, Russia may have three quantum computers with 50 qubits by the end of the year, or even more.
When creating quantum computers, the main attention was paid to leading platforms such as superconductors, ions, atoms, and photons. There are also other platforms, but it is not yet known which one will be the most promising.
Earlier in 2024, Russian scientists created a 50-qubit quantum computer with qudit technology. This technology has previously been used worldwide only in Austria and the USA. Currently, the Russian 50-qubit quantum computer is the most powerful in the country and is among the top six world leaders with similar systems.
