Israeli startup to build quantum computing center
Israel is making progress in the development of quantum computing, as are Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
An Israeli startup has been selected by the government to build a large quantum computing center in the country.
The Tel Aviv-based Quantum Machines announced today that the Israel Innovation Authority tapped them to establish the Israel Quantum Computing Center. Israel is setting up the first-of-its-kind center in line with the 2018 Israel National Quantum Initiative, Quantum Machines said in a press release.
Quantum Machines will lead the establishment of the center with a consortium of other companies, including the weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems, according to the release.
The project has a budget of around $29 million, the Israeli technology news outlet CTech reported.
