UAE – Mubasher: Abu Dhabi-based Technology Innovation Institute (TII) will build the UAE’s first quantum computer in the capital, in collaboration with Barcelona-based Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech researchers.
The Quantum Research Centre (QRC) team of TII, the applied research pillar of Abu Dhabi’s newly established Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), will construct the quantum computer, as revealed in a recent press release.
The QRC team will be led by Chief Researcher Professor José Ignacio Latorre, in building the quantum computer.
Deploying quantum mechanics phenomena such as superposition and entanglement, the quantum computer will have stronger processing powers that can help perform complex calculations.
The Secretary-General of ATRC, Faisal Al Bannai, said: “We are at the cusp of a new era with the advent of quantum computing.”
Meanwhile, Professor Latorre remarked: “We expect the first simple quantum chips ‘Made in Abu Dhabi’ should come by the end of the summer.”
