Intel to invest $50 million in quantum computer research
By Joel Hruska on September 4, 2015

These types of computers, then, aren’t the kind of hardware that slots into a smartphone or that you’re likely to have sitting on your desk. In some ways, a functional quantum computer would resemble the hardware of the 1950s and 60s — huge installations with enormous power needs, fixed locations, and high operating costs. The reason that Intel and other manufacturers are so interested in building them anyway is because quantum computers can be used to solve certain problems that are so fiendishly difficult, it would require billions or trillions of years to accurately answer them using traditional transistors and cutting-edge equipment.
