Will change the rules of the game: the first quantum computer in Israel

Israel joins advanced countries and launches the first quantum computer, which will allow complex processing to be performed at record speed and will lead Israel to significant technological developments. Today the quantum computer manufactured by Blue and White was activated by the Aerospace Industry, the Hebrew University and the Innovation Authority. The race for ‘quantum supremacy’ has gained momentum in recent years, and this in view of new breakthroughs in the field.

Now, many powers, including the State of Israel, are working to build infrastructure and develop quantum computers – ones that will completely change the worlds of computing in the fields of the military, industry, research and development, and more. In recent years, the aerospace industry has invested efforts to increase its quantum activity, and now the company is considered a prominent and significant force with the launch of the first quantum computer manufactured by Blue-White.

The new computer is based on a technology called “superconductivity”: this is a unique property of certain materials that allows them to conduct electricity without resistance when they are cooled to very low temperatures. In the field of quantum computing, this property is used to create qubits – the basic units of information in a quantum computer. Superconductor-based qubits allow quantum computers to perform complex calculations faster and more efficiently than conventional computers. The use of superconducting technology helps reduce errors during calculations, which contributes to the accuracy and stability of the quantum systems.

The QHIPU QUANTUM company’s quantum computing laboratory will concentrate planning, simulation, integration and adaptation of applied applications of a quantum computer in semiconductor technology. The activity is carried out in collaboration with companies and research institutes in Israel and around the world.

“The cooperation between the parties in the project brings to the table a welcome multidisciplinarity and will lead to important results for research in the field and strengthening the scientific and technological position of the State of Israel” he said Yishai FrankelCEO of the Hebrew University. Boaz Levythe CEO of IAI added: “Quantum technologies will fundamentally upgrade human capabilities in a wide variety of worlds, and IAI proudly leads the State of Israel on its way to becoming a world power in this field.”

In recent years, IAI has developed projects in the fields of robotics, autonomy, cyber and artificial intelligence that have been integrated into the company’s business lines, some of them in cooperation with start-up companies and academia. This is a force multiplier for the people of Israel. In order to win the future campaign, the State of Israel needs advanced technology; This is our compass as a leading Israeli defense industry, to always be ahead of the enemy, to constantly anticipate a few steps ahead of him, and to develop the answer to the threat – even before the capability of this threat exists with him.”

“Although quantum computing still has a long way to go until it matures, it holds tremendous technological potential to upgrade the computing power available to humanity and accelerate research and development processes in an unprecedented way” he said Sparrow between CEO of the Innovation Authority: “This power will dramatically affect science and the global high-tech industry.” Israel, as the father of global innovation, must also be at the forefront of this technology and the launch of the first Israeli quantum computer, today, is an important milestone in this effort.”
