KFU's Employees Comment on the Latest Developments in Quantum Computing

Quantum computing has been a hot topic since late 1980s. There has been no full-scale quantum computers as of yet, but there are significant accomplishments. For example, the first quantum computer consisted of only 16 qubits, and the latest one (summer 2015) – more than 1000. Canadian company D-Wave Systems has been producing 128-qubit computers based on quantum annealing since 2011. There are some currently at work at Lockheed Martin.
