Google started turning quantum computing into a business. According to unconfirmed reports, during the last few months the searcher opens scientific laboratories and researchers of artificial intelligence access to the quantum processor via the Internet.

The task of Google is to stimulate the development of tools and applications for this technology, and subsequently - to create for commercial organizations a "cloud" service with the use of quantum systems. "They quite openly say that they create a quantum 'iron' and at some point in time will make it accessible through the 'cloud'," said Stanford University researcher Peter McMahon.

As reported by Bloomberg, which had a slide with a closed presentation, for this purpose, the company established a laboratory called the "Nascent Quantum Data Center". In addition, ProjectQ was launched with open source, which makes it easier for developers to write code for quantum computers.

Access to the quantum processor through the "cloud" IBM Cloud has already begun to provide the company IBM. This platform will be used in those areas where the amount of information is so large that the "classic" computers can not cope with them. Quantum applications, for example, can be used to search for drugs and drugs, build the most efficient logistics chains and supply channels, find new ways to model financial data, protect cloud computing with the laws of quantum physics.

The main feature of quantum computers is the ability to be in two states simultaneously.

If "ordinary" PCs write information bits sequentially, in states of zero or one, then quantum computers can perform several calculations in parallel, encoding two values ??at once.

According to scientists, the achievements of quantum physics of the system are more effective than "binary" systems 3600 times. They can be applied anywhere: to simulate natural processes, which will allow you to learn more about the origin of the universe, to work with large data, to create unreadable codes and so on.
