The article is about a quantum computer made by Google. Googles team of scientists, led by John Martinis made a quantum computer that can calculate algorithms faster than any other quantum computer in the world. The quantum computer can calculate problems in two and a half days instead of the ten thousand years it would previously taken to solve. The quantum computer is the only one currently in the world with this fast of algorithm solving skills. This is one of the first real proofs of quantum speed up for the world. The quantum computer is currently the only one of its kind in the world with this fast processing capabilities. Made by a whole team of scientists Google is currently competing with IBM for maintaining the fastest problem solving process. The Hello World programme was invented to help make sure that the quantum computer continues to run flawlessly.
We have talked about the problem solving process in class. And how we have learned vocabulary terms about the first original computers and how people used them to solve problems. By combining the problem solving process with a fast computer we are able to solve problems that surpass our own mental capability of solving.
