Chinese scientists have introduced the world's most powerful quantum computer. Researchers say that the new quantum computer is 10 billion times faster than a similar device from "Google". It is necessary for accelerated calculations of the time of complex physical experiments.

A photon quantum computer that uses light particles for its work has performed calculations that are inaccessible to an ordinary computer, "ICTnews reports". This phenomenon is called the "quantum advantage", which was previously achieved only in 2019 on "Google" 's quantum computer. However, the company's device is based on high-conductivity materials, not photons.

The new quantum computer can perform very complex calculations in 200 seconds, which is equivalent to half a billion on the world's fastest traditional computer. The new device, called "Jiuzhang", consists of a complex array of optical devices that move photons around them.
