As quantum computers stand out as the key to this new era, as they move towards a period that redefines the conditions of being a superpower. China introduced its own quantum computer prototype and made an ambitious entrance to the race in this area.
Quantum computers have the potential to revolutionize in the world of modeling and calculating. Using strange but impressive laws of quantum mechanics, these computers can perform billions of years of traditional super computers in a few minutes. This unique speed and power causes many countries to pursue “quantum superiority .. The quantum superiority refers to the capacity of a quantum processor to calculate faster than a traditional super computer.
One of the newest and remarkable participants of this race is Zuchongzhi-3, a 105 cubite superconducting prototype. Chinese developers reveal the capabilities of this computer comparatively. For example, Frontier, which is now considered the world’s second most powerful super computer, needs about 6 billion years to complete a process that Zuchongzhi-3 can perform in a few minutes. El Capitan, the world’s most powerful super computer, which is the new online, is expected to need billions of years.
On the other hand, when Google’s quantum computer is compared with Sycamore, Zuchongzhi-3 is suggested to be about 1 million times faster. But Google’s newer and more powerful quantum processor, Willow, 10 billion times faster than Zuchongzhi-3. Although this has shown that Google has been leading in the field of quantum technology for many years, it seems inevitable that China will appear with more advanced processors in this field.
The effects of quantum computers on the world and how this technology will create a balance of power will become more clear in the coming years. China’s Zuchongzhi-3 prototype is an indication of how quickly this new era can be shaped.
