Honeywell Unveils the World's Fastest Quantum Computer
Quantum-computing devices are getting closer to commercial use. On Friday, Honeywell (NYSE: HON) accelerated the arrival of usable quantum computers by announcing a new quantum computer with record-breaking performance.
Honeywell's device comes with a quantum volume (QV) of 64, doubling the 32 QV processing capacity of a quantum system that IBM (NYSE: IBM) unveiled in January.
A 64-QV computer is able to process data through six cubits. A cubit is a quantum-computing unit capable of storing and processing more than the two states (0 or 1) that a digital computer system can process. The Honeywell system also boasts a fidelity of more than 99.997%, which allows the system to generate calculations and simulations of very high quality.
