quantum computer orion

Many of us know about the fact that already sufficiently for a long time are conducted the developments in the region of quantum calculations. Let us recall that the quantum computers, in contrast to classical COMPUTERS, operate not with bits, but by kubit, in which is stored not discrete state 0 or 1, but their superposition. As a example it is possible to give the famous cat Schroedinger, that, being used in the closed box, which contains radioactive core and capacity with the poison gas, is both living and corpse simultaneously.

On the commercial realization of quantum computer, until now there was no speech; however, the recently Canadian company D -Wave systems astonished peace by news about the fact that it is assembled to release the first in the world similar device already in the following year.

This quantum computer, which received the name orion, will not be the narrowly specialized calculator, oriented, for example, it is exclusive in cryptography. Orion is device, capable after several cycles to solve the problems, to which in traditional COMPUTERS depart thousands of cycles. We deal here with the indeterminate polynomial tasks (Nondeterministic polynomial problems), which on the usual COMPUTERS are solved sufficiently heavily, also, moreover with the low accuracy, since in this case the methods of approximations are used. However, quantum computers are capable of simultaneously processing all possible solutions of problem and finding optimum in relatively small time. This property KK will prove useful in different the fields - from the search in BD to genetic engineering and the creation of new medicines.

D -Wave systems promises already on the following week, on 13 February, to show the working prototype of its 16- kubit computer. The cooled to the boiling point liquid helium, processor orion is made from niobium (metal- superconductor) with the use of traditional lithograph. On its micro-architecture orion is similar to the programmed logical matrices (FPGA) and it can be by program reconstructed for the solution of different problems.
