Can do things too complex for a normal computer

IBM has created a quantum processor which it claims can process information so complex the work can't be done or simulated on a traditional computer.

CEO Arvind Krishna said that its new Eagle processor can handle 127 qubits which is bigger than Noah's ark.

By getting over the 100 qubits, IBM says it has reached a milestone that allows quantum to surpass the power of a traditional computer. "It is impossible to simulate it on something else, which implies it's more powerful than anything else," Krishna said.

Krishna says the quantum computing push is one part of his approach to return the company to growth.

"Some people think of it as science fiction," Krishna says of quantum computing in a preview clip. I think of it now as a feat of engineering."

Meanwhile there have been ructions in the Quantum universe after it was revealed that Google's Sycamore processor may not be as supreme as everyone thought.
