Will we soon have quantum computers at home?

Google's giant announced its new quantum processor , called Briscolkone, which can play a key role in turning quantum computers into "functionally-savvy" computers for ordinary people. You may be surprised that despite all the noise around the quantum computers, you have not yet received a good offer from a computer company on the street. But the reality is that quantum computers are almost exclusively used for top-level research and modeling and do not go beyond the highly specialized laboratories they are in.

The field of quantum computing, in which a processor takes up a whole range of input and output data at once, continually expands its boundaries in recent years. But they have not yet reached the levels of daily practicality to get into the life of ordinary people. This event is forthcoming and Google's new processor is an important step in that direction. It is a 72-kb processor, with IBM's latest quantum processor being 50 kilobytes. And if the term cubit does not tell you anything, it may be interesting to learn that it is the abbreviated name of quantum bits, which are the new basic unit of information in the coming quantum era of computers.

The problem with the cuvettes is still that they are unstable, and they place very serious requirements on hardware to deal with them. Quantum computers must keep their processors extremely cold and protect them from external shocks. Keep in mind that even a random sound that reaches these computers can cause errors in their CPU calculations.

And to be able to function even in acceptable real-world approximation, quantum processors should have a percentage of errors of less than 0.5% for every two kubits . In previous Google processors, the best result so far was 0.6%, but with a much smaller capacity of 9 kubits. Briscolton's announcement does not mention his error rate, but Google claims they are trying to improve their best past achievement.
