Wouldn’t throw out your 16-core machine just yet
An international team of scientists has created a quantum device with “the potential to perform calculations that would require a supercomputer larger than the size of the known universe.”
So says the University of Sydney’s Dr Michael Biercuk of the University’s School of Physics, the Australian Research Council’s Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems and the team that worked on the device discussed in a Nature paper released yesterday.
I found the art was in writing software that
didn’t require infinite computing capacity.
PDP-11s, anyone?
