Russia to invest $ 790 million (about 5.484 billion yuan) for quantum computing, quantum marked the country officially joined the race. This investment will provide funding for Russian researchers in the next five years, with the development of practical quantum technology and quantum advantage.
According to "Nature" magazine reported that Russian Deputy Prime Minister Maxim Akimov on December 5th to 6th, announced the investment on technology forum in Sochi. The $ 790 million investment is part of the Kremlin approved a huge investment program, which aims to promote the study of the Russian advance and improve their technical and economic status in the world. Russia joined the United States, European Union, China and Germany in the field of science and technology now, in order to obtain and maintain quantum advantage.
The EU announced its quantum flagship program in 2016, the EU expects its $ 1.1 billion (about 7.637 billion yuan) investment will bring innovations such as a quantum processor can work on a silicon chip. August 2019, Germany is also in the race down the bet, invested about US $ 756.7 million (about 5.253 billion yuan) funds for the development of quantum technologies. United States in December 2018 announced its 10-year plan to quantum technologies , has launched the "National Plan quantum Act" (NQIA), and approved in the first five years of $ 1.25 billion (about 8.678 billion yuan) for quantum computing research and development.

October 2019, the Russian State University of Science and Technology MISiS scientists have developed a new amount of child computer prototype , and then they received funding supplied by Russia. In one experiment, the scientists under the supervision of principal investigator of superconducting materials laboratory of the university Valery Ryazanov, the use of a 2-Qubit quantum computer to solve the Grover quantum algorithm. Scientists have proved that not only two qubits to perform specific quantum algorithm, and can be more than 3% accuracy limit.
"Two qubits Grover's algorithm is a very important step to create a quantum computer," Superconducting Materials Laboratory engineer Ilya Besedin said. "We are not the world's first company to demonstrate its solution, here, we are mainly talking about the technical achievements we have demonstrated the possibility of achieving all the necessary logic operations for universal quantum processor: initialization, double and single qubit qubits and a reading operation, the level of precision and which meet the requirements of small algorithm. "
The quantum computer is a problem that must be addressed is the problem of noise, noise can cause the accuracy of the calculation results. Russia 2-Qubit Processor success rate has reached 53%. Although Google has demonstrated the superiority calculated by the scientific experiments, however, the company has yet to prove that quantum computers can more effectively address the same tasks than traditional computers.
Engineer Moscow State University of Science and Technology Ilya Besedin said: "No one can approach the practical application of quantum computing power required." "There are many technical challenges, we are looking for new ways to explore the strong government support, it would become. very interesting study in Russia. "
