Honeywell makes world’s fastest Quantum Computer with quantum volume of 64

Back in March, Honeywell said that it would make the world’s most powerful quantum computer “within the next three months”. Fast forward to June and the multinational conglomerate delivers on its promise with the launch of a system that features a quantum volume of 64— twice as powerful as the next fastest system. Quantum computing refers to the use of quantum-mechanical phenomena (superposition and entanglement) to perform computation. The quantum volume is a measurement that takes into account the number of quantum bits (or qubits) of a machine as well as their connectivity and error rates. Tony Uttley, the President of Honeywell Quantum Solutions, said, “What makes our quantum computers...
