The Register · Quantum code breaking? You'd get further with an 8-bit computer, an abacus, and a dogBy Thomas Claburn

Do you know QSolid? 25 German institutions from science and industry are developing a #quantumcomputer with enhanced error correction. The QSolid team is building an ecosystem to be integrated into JUNIQ's supercomputing infrastructure at FZJ, making it accessible to external users.

The prototype's completion in 2024 marks a key milestone. In this video, project leader Frank Wilhelm-Mauch from FZJ provides insights into the progress and future plans.
