After Google showed off the Sycamore quantum computer in 2019, now it's Baidu's turn to show off their Qian Shi quantum computer today. Qia Shi is a computer equipped with a 10 Quantum Bit (Qubit) processor chip with software developed by Baidu itself.
Later it will be used to perform complex calculations to find new materials for lithium batteries and also perform calculations of complex protein structures for scientific purposes. Baidu also announced that they are developing another quantum computer with a 36 Qubit chip.
Qian Shi's ability is still behind Sycamore which is equipped with a 56 Qubit chip. Through quantum computers, calculations that previously took 10,000 years using traditional computers can be done in just a few minutes.
