While this device may look like a time machine, it is actually a quantum computer – albeit one that has taken us further into the future. Made by Quantum Motion and now housed at the UK National Quantum Computing Centre, this is the first quantum computer fully built using standard silicon chip manufacturing techniques. It is a step towards achieving the mass production of quantum computers.
