IBM has completed research on key quantum computing algorithms one year ahead of schedule, which can run on standard AMD chips.

According to reports, IBM stated that one of its key quantum computing algorithms can run on AMD's standard chips. Jay Gambetta, Vice President of Quantum Computing at IBM, stated that this research shows that IBM's algorithm can not only work in real-world environments but can also run on an "unreasonably expensive" AMD chip. Jay Gambetta said, "Being able to actually implement the algorithm and prove that it runs 10 times faster than required is a significant breakthrough." He also noted that the algorithm research, disclosed on Friday, was completed a year ahead of schedule. IBM is advancing a multi-year plan to develop a quantum computer called "Starling" by 2029. Currently, the company is competing with Microsoft Corporation and Alphabet to develop quantum computing technology. Earlier this week, Alphabet Inc. Class C announced a breakthrough in their quantum computing algorithm. Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said that the company's quantum computing chip "Willow" achieved the "first verifiable quantum advantage in history". Quantum computers use quantum bits (qubits) to solve complex problems that traditional computers would take thousands of years to solve. However, qubits are highly error-prone, and these errors can quickly overwhelm the effective computing output of the quantum chip.
