Nobel Prize Winner, HPE, Chip Industry Companies Team Up to Create Practical Quantum Supercomputer

John M. Martinis, one of this year’s winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics for his advances in quantum computing, on Monday formed an alliance with HPE and several chip companies to create a practical, mass-producible quantum supercomputer.

Quantum computers promise to solve problems in chemistry, medicine and other fields that would take classical computers thousands of years.

Big tech companies like IBM, Microsoft and Alphabet’s Google, where Martinis worked before co-founding his current startup Qolab, are racing to develop the technology.

But those efforts are…
