IBM Q, the world’s first quantum computing service in the cloud, has begung roll-out today on a pay-as-you-use basis.
But, while it sounds futuristic, it won’t outperform a regular computer. Rather, it is intended to provide a catalyst to future development in the sector.
The paid version is an upgraded version of the IBM Quantum Experience , which has been given a facelift and is open to all as a « curiosity ».
Nature reports that the IBM QE has been used to help those without direct access to Quantum machines (which let’s face it, is almost everyone) to get used to designing Quantum algorithms and thus build what IBM says is a ‘community and ecosystem’.
Details so far are scant. We don’t have a launch date (apart from 2017) and we don’t have pricing details.
