Google Working To Build Quantum Speed Computer Processors

Grazed from MediaPost. Author: Laurie Sullivan.

The Google Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab has announced that John Martinis and his team at UC Santa Barbara will partner with Google to build new quantum information processors based on superconducting electronics. The hardware project, led by Martinis, aims to make quantum computers a reality. Think of the Web as the world’s largest catalog to better understand why Google would want to bring quantum speeds to humanity.

Quantum speeds would increase the ability to index and process information not only across the Internet, but on servers supporting cloud computing and business intranets. It would make finding and serving information that much faster, which is especially critical as the amount of content continues to grow…

Google spent about $8 billion on research and development during fiscal 2013. Many of the initiatives work to improve Internet and on-site search, as well as online advertising. The smaller the processor the better the ability to integrate them into small wearable devices. The speed would support any Internet-connected or non-Internet-connected device that processes information…
