Quantum Computing Within Reach Thanks To UK Researchers
O’Brien has stated that “many people in the field had believed a functional quantum computer would not be a reality for at least 25 years,” but here’s his quote on what his team has accomplished: “However, we can say with real confidence that, using our new technique, a quantum computer could, within five years, be performing calculations that are outside the capabilities of conventional computers.”
