The IBM computer that arrives in San Sebastián will be very different from the one we know. The researcher Iñigo Arrazola explains how a quantum computer works and what applications it can have.

The technology of quantum computerswhich is currently in development, will soon arrive in San Sebastián thanks to the sixth IBM Quantum System One which will be installed in everything on the planet.
It’s a totally disruptive technology, very different from today’s computers, since the qubits he works with simultaneously considers the two states at 1 or 0 of classical computing, which speeds up calculations and exponentially multiplies the options offered by these machines.
Inigo Arrazola is a researcher in this field TU Vienna, the technical university of the Austrian capital. De Oñatiarra explains how this technology works.
Differences between classical and quantum computers.
The function of the current quantum computers is mainly to continue research to create a supercomputer in the near future that can help humans in the field of health (when designing new drugs) or in terms of energy (looking for new materials that can help to be more efficient). These are some of the applications quantum technology will have.
Quantum computing applications.
However, the importance of hosting a quantum computer goes further. According to Arrazola, as well Javier Aizpuruadirector of Materials Physics Center, current quantum technology is a gamble for the future. The scientists point out that entering the current map of these computers in the future, when supercomputers are fully developed, will be a advantage position.
