Chinese scientists claim to have built a quantum computer which is 100trillion times faster than the world's most advanced supercomputer - Japan's Fugaku. The breakthrough means the country has achieved quantum supremacy, a significant milestone as China and the US compete to lead in quantum computing technology. Quantum computing is a fledgling technology which uses the weird world of quantum physics to achieve vastly sped-up information processing. A quantum computer aims to utilise new quantum algorithms to accelerate digital computation. 'We’re proud to have contributed to this major milestone, ushering in the next gen of quantum tech in the USA!'
