American quantum computing startup PsiQuantum announced on February 26 that it has cracked a significant puzzle on the road to making the technology useful: manufacturing quantum chips in useful quantities. PsiQuantum burst out of “stealth mode” in 2021 with a blockbuster funding announcement. It followed up with two more last year. The company uses so-called “photonic” quantum computing, which has long been dismissed as impractical.

Half of the funding will come from the Queensland government, and in exchange, PsiQuantum will locate its planned quantum computer in Brisbane, with a regional headquarters at Brisbane Airport.

Half of the funding will come from the Queensland government, and in exchange, PsiQuantum will locate its planned quantum computer in Brisbane, with a regional headquarters at Brisbane Airport. PsiQuantum claims it will build the world’s first “useful” quantum computer. Such a device could be enormously helpful for applications like cracking codes, discovering new materials and drugs, modelling climate and weather, and solving other tough computational problems.

Im Juni ließ ein leitender Angestellter von IBM verlauten, dass Quantencomputer in die Phase des „Nutzens“ eingetreten sind und experimentelle Hightech-Geräte nützlich werden. Im September ging die australische Chefwissenschaftlerin Cathy Foley sogar so weit, „den Beginn des Quantenzeitalters“ auszurufen.

In June, an IBM computing executive claimed quantum computers were entering the “utility” phase, in which high-tech experimental devices become useful.
In September, Australia’s Chief Scientist Cathy Foley went so far as to declare “the dawn of the quantum era”.
This week, Australian physicist Michelle Simmons won the nation’s top science award for her work on developing silicon-based quantum computers.
Obviously, quantum computers are having a moment.
