Dutch quantum computing company QuTech, in conjunction with chip-maker Intel, yesterday unveiled a programmable two-qubit quantum computer running on a silicon chip. Quantum computers are supposed to be capable of doing things no “classical” computer could possibly accomplish, such as complex molecular simulations or unhackable communications. As we’ve said before, quantum computing could change everything (here’s what it is and why it matters). Despite its promise, however, we’re still in the early stages of research and development. The technology is incredibly fragile, it takes up a huge amount of resources, and can only a do a few things at the…
