We need to focus on long-term scalability.

ZuriQ is rewriting the rules of quantum computing by letting qubits fly

How can it do that, you ask?

Well, its got something vaguely to do with aeroplanes, cars, and magnetic fields.

But first, a quick science lesson.

Qubits are the basic units of information in a quantum computer.

Now, there are two main kinds of quantum computers in development.

The first and most common are superconducting quantum computers, pioneered by the likes ofGoogleand IBM.

They use tiny loops of supercooled metal to create qubits.

That is, perhaps, until now.

The startup said it aims to become the flagship provider of quantum computing worldwide.

The breakthrough brought the dream of quantum computing a step closer to reality.
