The aim is to democratize access to physical quantum computing solutions that can be deployed (and redeployed) at will. But considering the actual quantum machinery on offer, none of these (which we\u2019re internally calling \u201cquantops\u201d) are likely to be a part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomshardware.com\/features\/what-is-quantum-computing\">the future of quantum<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The new products being developed with education in mind shows in their qubit counts, which top out at three (compare that to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomshardware.com\/news\/computer-with-512-gpus-tests-googles-quantum-supremacy-claim\">Google\u2019s Sycamore<\/a> or IBM\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomshardware.com\/news\/ibm-introduces-the-433-qubit-osprey-quantum-processing-unit\">433-qubit Osprey<\/a> Quantum Processing Unit [QPU], both based on superconducting qubits). That\u2019s not enough a number for any viable, problem-solving quantum computing to take place within these machines, but it\u2019s enough that users can program and run quantum circuits \u2014 either the integrated, educational ones, or a single custom algorithm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Switch-Science has just announced a trio of quantum computing products that the company claims are the world\u2019s first portable quantum computers.
