Israeli startup to build quantum computing center
An Israeli startup selected by the government to build a large quantum computing center in the country.
Tel Aviv-based Quantum Machines announced today that the Israeli Innovation Authority has leveraged them to found the Israel Quantum Computing Center. Israel is establishing the first center of its kind in line with the 2018 Israel National Quantum Initiative, Quantum mechanics he said in a press release.
According to the release, Quantum Machines will lead the creation of the center with a consortium of other companies, including weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems.
The project has a budget of about $ 29 million reported the Israeli tech news bulletin CTech.
Quantum computing refers to the use of quantum physics – the study of atomic or subatomic particles – for computer functions. While today’s computers can only encode information with the numerical values 1 or 0, quantum computing uses qubits, which can have a value of 0 or 1, or both.
The power of classical computers grows linearly as more transistors are added, but the power of quantum computers grows exponentially with more qubits. They can therefore solve more complex problems better than classical computers.
Because matter: Israeli IT consultant Nadav Zafrir told Al-Monitor in April that “our lives will never be the same” once quantum computing takes off. Zafrir said quantum computing holds particular promise for cancer research.
Israel, with its strong high-tech sector, is trying to develop quantum computing. The Hebrew University of Jerusalem began field research in 2018. Last year, Israel joined the European Union’s Horizon Europe research program.
