Quantum Technology Overview | NextBigFuture.com

John Preskill, Director of the Institute for Quantum Information and Matter, California Institute of Technology, presented an overview of quantum technology at the 2018 Q2B Conference. He indicates that NISQ (Noisy Qubit) systems with 50-100 qubits will be commercially available shortly and they will be useful. However, NISQ at 50-100 qubits will not change the world. John Preskill indicated that the most important improvement that could be made to advance the field is with better qubits. IonQ touted that they are making better quality than NISQ qubits with trapped ion qubits. IonQ has talked about reaching thousands of qubits by
