Hong Kong, Jan 11 (Ians) A Chinese team has claimed that their new, quantum code-breaking algorithm could dramatically reduce the scale of a practical quantum computer, which has raised eyebrows in the US, media reports said on Wednesday.
The team, led by Professor Long Guilu of Tsinghua University, claimed in a paper (yet to be published) that its new algorithm could reduce the scale of a practical quantum computer to 372 qubits – even less than that of Ibm’s Osprey, reports South China Morning Post.
Osprey operates with “433 qubits and is nowhere near breaking codes”.
Ibm in November last year unveiled a new 433 qubit Quantum processor that has the potential to run complex quantum computations well beyond the computational capability of any typical computer.
Called ‘Ibm Osprey,’ it has the largest qubit count of any Ibm quantum processor, more than tripling the 127 qubits on the Ibm ‘Eagle’ processor unveiled in 2021.
