Russia unveiled its 50-qubit quantum computer prototype based on rubidium neutral atom in late December, achieving a milestone in the country’s quantum computing roadmap and delivering on a promise made earlier in the year to develop a 50-qubit device before 2025, according to a statement reported in TASS, which was based on information from Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU) and the Russian Quantum Center (RQC). The development, a collaborative effort by the aforementioned MSU and RQC, uses neutral rubidium atoms as its platform, a technology that is being explored worldwide as device that can be used for large-scale applications, according to the teams. “Scientists at the Lomonosov Moscow State University and the Russian Quantum Center have created Russia’s first prototype of a neutral single rubidium atoms-powered 50-qubit quantum computer as part of the Quantum Computing Roadmap coordinated by the Rosatom State Corporation,” the MSU statement read.
