IBM just announced their latest quantum computer chip, which does seem to be a real game changer.
voice-verified
We'll probably have to do a deeper dive on it at some point.
voice-verified
But they combined error correction on the same chip with the quantum computing.
voice-verified
This kind of reminds me of the same thing.
voice-verified
It's like it's the two functions in one.
voice-verified
And as Bob and I have said previously, the error correction is like the ballgame at this point with quantum computer chips.
voice-verified
Like what's the error rate, you know?
voice-verified
And so anyway, if this pans out the way they say it would, it should, then they should have commercial quantum computer chips by 2030 is what they're saying.
voice-verified
No way.
voice-verified
So I wonder if that would apply to this kind of model.
voice-verified
Because that's always the first thing you hear when they say, what's it going to do?
voice-verified
It's going to be able to do climate models.
voice-verified
It's always on the top of the list of what these chips could do.
voice-verified
I wonder if that would...
voice-verified
For some applications, they could be thousands of times more powerful than conventional chips or more.
voice-verified
But so not surprisingly with this model, it's basically – it's a hardware upgrade and a software upgrade.
voice-verified
They're using these super chips and they're getting better at the software using generative AI.
voice-verified
And boom, we got a one – quote, unquote, one kilometer.
voice-verified
Yeah.
voice-verified
It takes so much energy.
