Who needs pricey quantum computers when you can have p-bits?
- Tuesday | 24th September, 2019
This is what enables quantum computers to solve far more complex problems than standard computers. Granted, companies like D-Wave are already targeting optimization apps with a limited form of quantum computing called quantum annealing (watch this video for a good explanation of the difference). Several of them have functioning quantum computers that are already being used by researchers and developers, albeit mainly to figure out how to build better or more stable quantum computers, or at least how to monetize them. On the other hand, quantum computers are a long way from the commercial mainstream in large part because of the specialized hardware. If tech companies decide p-bits are a viable and cost-effective stopgap solution, the commercial ramp-up to probabilistic computers might be much faster.
