DARPA picks 4 more teams to prove a useful quantum computer by 2033
DARPA has moved Atom Computing, Diraq, IBM and IonQ into the final stage of its Quantum Benchmarking Initiative. The US defence research agency runs the programme to test whether anyone can build a useful quantum computer by 2033. DARPA announced the four teams on Wednesday. Each one uses a different type of qubit, the basic […] This story continues at The Next Web
Atom Computing, Diraq, IBM and IonQ Advance to DARPA Final Stage of Quantum Benchmarking Initiative
DARPA has selected Atom Computing, Diraq, IBM, and IonQ to advance into Stage C of its rigorous Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI). The chosen firms represent diverse hardware approaches—including neutral atoms, silicon spin qubits, superconducting processors, and trapped ions. In Stage C, these companies will partner with the government to build, test, and verify that their […]
Atom Computing, Diraq, IBM and IonQ advanced to the final stage of the DARPA program that seeks to check whether a useful quantum computer can be built by 2033. The evaluation will focus on verifying designs and capabilities, not on choosing a winner.
