Abstract
People are two qubits closer to useful quantum computers. That might not sound like much, but the quantum computing arms race playing out could eventually deliver the biggest breakthrough in technology since the advent of the computer itself. In July, a quantum simulator with 51 quantum bits, or qubits, was announced. Now, a team led by Christopher Monroe at the Joint Quantum Institute in Maryland has gone two better. The latest 53-qubit device, made from a chain of 53 charged atoms, or ions, trapped in electric fields, has run scientific simulations that don't seem to be possible with everyday computers.
