The Finnish National Technical Research Center released a press release on the 4th stating that the center and IQM Quantum Computer have successfully developed and launched Europe's first 50 qubit superconducting quantum computer. On March 4th, the Finnish National Technical Research Center released a press release stating that the center and IQM Quantum Computer have successfully developed and launched Europe's first 50 qubit superconducting quantum computer. This is a photo of a 50 qubit superconducting quantum computer released by the Finnish National Technical Research Center. This quantum computer is located in Espoo, southern Finland and is currently being opened to researchers and enterprise users through the quantum computing cloud service of the Finnish National Technical Research Center. The center stated that a 50 qubit superconducting quantum computer will provide the industry with opportunities to develop quantum computing applications and conduct more practical research. The center stated in a press release that this 50 qubit quantum computer utilizes new chip technology, significantly reducing runtime noise and increasing the number of qubits available for computation. It is capable of performing calculations that traditional computers cannot accomplish and is a milestone in Finland's development in the field of quantum computing. With the help of this quantum computer, new applications and algorithms can be developed for professional fields such as material modeling and simulation, optimization problems, and artificial intelligence Erika Turunin, Executive Vice President of the Finnish National Technical Research Center, said in a press release. Finland first announced its development plan in the field of quantum computing in November 2020, with the government allocating a total of 20.7 million euros for the development of a 50 qubit quantum computer. The plan is divided into three stages. In 2021, Finland developed a 5-bit quantum computer; In 2023, the country will develop a 20 qubit quantum computer; The launch of a 50 qubit quantum computer marks the completion of the third phase.
