While it would take the world's fastest supercomputer 2.6 billion years to solve a problem, China's new quantum computer has been able to solve it in just 4 minutes. According to researchers, this is a huge breakthrough in the world of quantum computing.

Chinese scientists achieved this success using a 76-qubit photon-based quantum computer prototype called Jiuzhang. This state-of-the-art computer uses a technique called Gaussian Boson Sampling with the help of lasers, mirrors, prisms and photon detectors to solve complex problems. In this method, Jiuzhang was able to count 76 photons simultaneously, which was the previous record of only 5 photons.


This research is not limited to the theoretical level; rather, it can have many practical applications. In particular, it can play an important role in quantum chemistry, solving complex mathematical problems, and developing a large-scale quantum internet.

Quantum computers work completely differently than conventional classical computers. With the help of the superposition and entanglement principles of quantum mechanics, quantum computers have achieved much faster information processing capabilities. As a result, it can bring revolutionary changes in the world of technology in the future.
