Chinese startup Shenzhen SpinQ Technology has developed a full-fledged quantum computer that can be used in schools and universities to teach how quantum computers work.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The device, the size, and weight of a small system unit, costs about 5 thousand dollars, which contrasts sharply with the multi-million dollar prices for existing models such as the Canadian<\/a> D-Wave 2000Q.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The low cost of a quantum computer is due to its low computing power. SpinQ operates with only two qubits (the same D-Wave operates with 2000 qubits), so it is unsuitable for breaking codes or “heavy” calculations. But for study – just right.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This isn’t the company’s first quantum model. Last year, it also unveiled a $ 50k, 55kg, two-qubit desktop device<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Educational institutions were reluctant to purchase SpinQ Gemini quantum systems. But when the computer became lighter and cheaper, they became interested.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
