Cisco rolls out software aimed at connecting a quantum computing cloud
SAN FRANCISCO: Cisco on Thursday announced a new software tool aimed at weaving together quantum computers from various makers into a single cloud, making it easier to develop useful applications.
Major tech firms such as Microsoft , IBM and Google are investing in building out their own quantum computers, which use properties of quantum physics to solve difficult computing problems faster than classical machines. Cisco, a major provider of networking gear for those classical machines, has taken a different track, aiming to create a new category of networking chips to connect quantum machines together.
