Paradigm-shifting breakthroughs tend to take a while.
However, nearly three months into 2025, some of the world’s biggest technology companies have announced quantum computing advances that would have been unbelievable a few years ago.
Amazon introduced Thursday (Feb. 27) a prototype for its first quantum computing chip, Ocelot, following similar releases from Microsoft and Google.
“In the future, quantum chips built according to the Ocelot architecture could cost as little as one-fifth of current approaches…,” said Oskar Painter, director of quantum hardware for Amazon Web Services (AWS), in announcing the chip. “Concretely, we believe this will accelerate our timeline to a practical quantum computer by up to five years.”
Quantum computing, unlike classical computing, harnesses the properties of quantum mechanics,...
