Quantum OS makes simultaneous massive parallel computations
Cambridge Quantum Computing has announced the development of t|ket>, a unique quantum computing operating system. t|ket> was created by CQCL, and facilitated by a proprietary custom designed high speed super computer also built by CQCL, in order to simulate a quantum processor. A quantum computer takes advantage of quantum interference.
Creating an advantage in computational speed over conventional computers by being capable of carrying out massive parallel computations simultaneously, CQC says that t|ket> has significant applications for the global economy, including financial markets, insurance, intelligence, cyber-security, internet, medicinal and pharmaceutical research, defence, energy, database management, logistics and communications.
The company stated, “CQCL is at the forefront of developing an operating system that will allow users to harness the joint power of classical super computers alongside quantum computers. The development of t|ket> is a major milestone. Quantum computing will be a reality much earlier than originally anticipated. It will have profound and far-reaching effects on a vast number of aspects of our daily lives.”
