CHICAGO – The world’s first “quantum” computer – a machine that harnesses the magic of quantum phenomena to perform memory and processing tasks incredibly faster than today’s silicon-based computer chips – was recently sold by D-Wave Systems of Canada to Lockheed-Martin. And, while some question whether the machine is truly a quantum computer, its designers have published articles in peer-reviewed journals demonstrating that the basic elements of this novel computer are indeed superconducting quantum bits.
发自芝加哥——世界首台“量子”计算机——一台利用量子现象的魔力来构成记忆体且任务执行速度远远高于当前使用的硅芯片的机器——最近由加拿大的D-Wave系统公司出售给洛克希德-马丁公司。与此同时，当人们开始质疑这台量子计算机的真伪时，其设计者在权威专业杂志上发表文章，阐述了构成这台崭新计算机的基本元素其实就是超导的量子位。
