Honeywell Quantum Solutions has been relatively secretive about what it was working on since it entered the world of quantum computing with modest fanfare in mid-2018. Their chosen technology was trapped-ion quantum computing. At the time, Tony Uttley, President of Honeywell Quantum Systems, quietly predicted it would eventually become a leader in quantum computing. His confidence …
IBM announced at CES 2020 that its newest 28-qubit quantum computer, Raleigh, achieved the company’s goal of doubling its Quantum Volume (IBM names its systems by city names). Raleigh reached a Quantum Volume of 32 this year, up from 16 last year. Raleigh draws on an improved hexagonal lattice connectivity structure developed in IBM’s 53-qubit …
Amazon Web Services (AWS) began offering classical cloud computing services to businesses over a decade ago. Since then, AWS cloud computing coverage has grown to over 190 countries and uses multiple distributed global data centers. Cloud computing has the advantage of low variable costs. It also eliminates the need for large capital expenditures and long lead …

Quantum supremacy was supposed to be a significant benchmark to signal that quantum computers could finally solve problems beyond the capability of classical computers. The term “quantum supremacy” was first used in a 2012 paper by one of the world’s leading theoretical physicists, John Preskill, Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltech. Last month, a leaked …
