Merry Christmas from Russia: 50-Qubit Cold Atom Quantum Computer Prototype Debuts
Researchers at Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU) and the Russian Quantum Center (RQC) demonstrated the nation’s first functioning 50-qubit prototype. The system uses single neutral rubidium atoms positioned by optical tweezers. The demonstration took place on December 19, aligning with Russia’s plan to expand quantum computing capacity.
