A quantum computer could provide an tremendous enhancement in the handling speed of existing computers. However, as yet they only exist in the laboratory in the form of small prototypes with a capacity of a few bits. They can now be explored in more detail, at least in simulations. The Julich supercomputer JUGENE can now simulate the largest quantum computer system in the world with 42 bits.... [read the full article]

World record: Largest simulation of an ideal quantum computer
A quantum computer could provide an tremendous enhancement in the handling speed of existing computers. However, as yet they only exist in the laboratory in the form of small prototypes with a capacity of a few bits. They can now be explored in more detail, at least in simulations.
