The first Russian quantum computer, operating with 12 superconducting qubits, may appear in Russia this year, TASS reports. According to Dmitry Chermoshentsev, a senior researcher at the Russian Quantum Center, Russian physicists have made significant progress in this area.

The scientist spoke about the promising development during the Science 0+ All-Russian festival. He recalled that four years ago Russia had only one quantum computer, and it used two qubits. It was possible to achieve noticeable results thanks to the quantum computing roadmap, which is supervised by the state corporation Rosatom.

Today there are four similar machines in Russia; their operation is based on fundamentally different technologies, noted Dmitry Chermoshentsev. By the end of the year, the number of qubits in all developed systems can be increased. It is also planned to complete work on the first device based on 12 superconducting qubits.
