A microwave package encloses the AWS quantum processor. IBM , Google , and several startups have built prototype quantum processors and signed up companies such as Volkswagen and JP Morgan to explore how the new devices might help tasks such as electric vehicle battery development or modeling financial markets. What if by harnessing the properties of quantum mechanics we could model and simulate the behavior of matter at its most fundamental level, down to how molecules interact? Amazon trails rivals in its move into quantum computing. This allows for the detection and correction of gate errors, and for the implementation of gate operations on the encoded qubits in a fault-tolerant way. Amazon says it has tested programs that involve two different quantum processors and conventional computers, all working together. Explore more of AWS. Fidelity created quantum proofs-of-concept for financial asset management ». Amazon is probably the latecomer to quantum computing.
