Amazon Unveils First Quantum Computing Chip | Global News Avenue

Amazon (Amzn) launched its first one on Thursday Quantum computing Chips, about a week after competitor Microsoft (MSFT) Announce Its first chip is dedicated to new technology.

According to Amazon Web Services, the new chip called Ocelot can cut “the cost of implementing quantum error corrections up to 90%.

Quantum chips allow quantum computers to process operations at exponentially higher speeds than conventional computers and consume much less energy.

Despite the recent breakthrough, Useful quantum computers Keep it for many years. nvidia(NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang said in early January More than 15 years Before there were “very useful” quantum computers in the world. Google Parents Letters (GOOGL) Reveals its quantum computing chip willow In December, it said it represented only the second of six milestones in the quantum computing roadmap. Meanwhile, Microsoft said its chip Majoraana 1 could facilitate quantum computing “can solve meaningful industrial-scale problems in years rather than decades.”

Even Amazon said Thursday that Ocelot is the “still” prototype.

“We’re just starting out and we believe we have more expansion phases,” said Oskar Painter, director of AWS Quantum Hardware. “Solving this is a very difficult problem.”

Amazon’s stock was flat about Thursday morning, with Amazon’s share price of about 23% over the past year.
