The UK Ministry of Defense bought a quantum computer to see if it could make tanks smarter.
The CEO of Orca made a deal this week. Orca's product got the attention of the MoD due to the fact that some of their products can fit on a regular computer shelf and operate at room temperatures.
Murray said that it was more durable than other types of things. It could be a fighter jet one day. We're focusing on a platform that can live on the ground.
It's not clear what these computers are supposed to do, even though scientists have yet to prove if there are any real world applications for the tech.
Murray told New Scientist that the device they are sending to them is a research tool. A lot of activity is being funded
That's not very clear. In the past, quantum computers have been shown to speed up the problem-solving.
It's not clear how those capabilities could be used in a military context.
Orca wants to make communication on the battlefield easier through applications such as image recognition and sensor management.
The technology will make information processing for command decisions on the battlefield more Agile and reduces risks from data sharing with an un deployable processor located off the battlefield.
Orca's deal with the Ministry of Defense feels like a solution to a problem.
It's not clear whether quantum computers can allow tanks to get smarter and give the UK's military an edge on the battlefield.
