I was under the Belief that we currently have no way of adding the qbits together.
We can set a qbit and read it but we can't currently get the particles in the quantum state to interact.
The article however paints another picture.
- sp332 13y agoSome groups have even been running Shor's algorithm on multi-qubit computers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_computer#Developments https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_computer#Developments It requires the qubits to be entangled to do the computation, and in the later ones (not IBM's 2001 work) the researchers did observe entanglement.
