IBM made some announcements this week about its plans for the next ten years of quantum computing: there are new chips, new computers, and new APIs. Quantum computers could in theory entirely revolutionize the way we think of computers… if, that is, someone can build one that’s actually useful.
Jerry Chow, director of quantum systems at IBM, explains to Decoder just how close the field is to actual utility.
