JPMorgan is preparing for a quantum futureDavid Castillo, Andrew J. Lang, and Marco Pistoia. The difference could allow users of the tech to process algorithms and execute calculations at blistering speeds. That's because quantum computing uses quantum mechanics, a kind of physics that leverages quantum bits, or qubits, instead of ones and zeros used by classic computers. But JPMorgan researchers say there are signs the industry is getting close to the point where quantum computers can process real-world problems faster than classic computers, often referred to as quantum advantage. The platform, run by Castillo, is also hardware-agnostic, meaning it can interface with quantum computers from different providers without needing to rewrite the application code.
