- Assessing the Quantum-Computing Landscape (Communications of the ACM, October 2022, Vol. 65 No. 10, Pages 57-65) Overview article of the state of Quantum Computing in 2022.
- currently most advanced quantum computers has less than 100 qubits. A general purpose computer would require approximately one million qubits to be useful. That is at least a decade away.
- the different cloud computing platforms are beginning to offer access to quantum computers - one of these is AWS Braket. Most of these are programmed using tools based on Python.
