IBM发布全球首台量子计算机IBM Q System One

Their design includes a nine-foot-tall, nine-foot-wide case of half-inch thick borosilicate glass forming a sealed, airtight enclosure. Its glass door opens effortlessly, simplifying the system’s maintenance and upgrade process while minimizing downtime –making the IBM Q System One uniquely suited for reliable commercial use.

A series of independent aluminum and steel frames unify, but also decouple the system’s cryostat, control electronics, and exterior casing, helping to isolate the system components for improved performance.

目前,不少业界人士质疑该计算机的可用性,认为这台原型机可能是装饰品,但是IBM已经明确表示“IBM Q System One是量子计算商业化的重要一步”,并发布了下一步商业计划。2019年下半年,IBM将在纽约Poughkeepsie开设一家计算中心IBM Q Quantum Computation Center,扩展其商业化量子计算计划。该中心将安装世界最先进的基于云的计算系统,将能够访问IBM Q网络的会员,包括全球500强企业、创新者、科研机构等,以推进量子计算和探讨商业和科技方面的实际应用。
