Million-qubit quantum computing ... at $300 per qubit

Quantum computing currently costs $10,000 a qubit: just one of the reasons why it's hard and expensive to scale. SEEQC is taking a different approach to building scalable million-qubit machines that can actually deliver on the promise of quantum computers and revolutionize computing.

Will they succeed?

SEEQC just announced that they are building a commercially-scalable, application-specific quantum computer for pharmaceutical drug development, and Merck has bought one.

I chat with SEEQC CEO John Levy about taking quantum computing out of the V2 rocket era and into the SpaceX era.

Well I’m ready for AI, quantum computing and cobalt atoms that learn. If it was me, I would hook up AI to the internet, to a quantum computer and a traditional computer in a room full of scientists underground and let that thing learn and crunch numbers for us. I’m all for merging with technology and tossing out ethical use for raw power.

Guys Quantum Computing is not like a barbecue. I know that we would like to know when are we gonna buy a quantum AMD or a Q i7 from Intel, but even know in physics it steel new for all. Ask to Santaolalla or Quantum Fracture(youtuber)

I'm not trying to s*** on anybody I enjoy the fact that people are conversing about such topics it just sucks how everything's so corporate and commercial focused like people the individuals are going to be stuck being client to mainframe and everything mirrored and watched somewhere else by big tech

I was told an 100 qubit system could process more information at the same time than there are particles in the known universe. I don’t understand why such a high qubit count past that is even needed. There’s also many fine print issues with quantum computing announcements. Couldn’t you arbitrarily stack as many as you want but not necessarily have an algorithm that can use so many? I’ve heard some companies have a whole bunch in an array but functionally they cannot solve any problem of exponential data up to a certain a, punt of qubits. Sorry lol lots of confusion heh.

I hate it when people say we're not totally sure what they'll be used for.. also they don't really have to be in a refrigerator these days there's someone developing one that uses photonics
