On Tuesday, local time, Intel released a software platform called an Intel Quantum SDK for developers to build quantum algorithms that can eventually run on quantum computers built by Intel simulations.。Anne Matsuura, director of quantum applications and architecture at Intel Research Institute, said quantum computing is based on quantum physics and theoretically can be calculated faster than traditional computers.。

Matsuura said that developers can use the long-established programming language C + + to build quantum algorithms, making it easier for people without quantum computing expertise to use。

In a statement, Matsuura said: "The Intel Quantum SDK will help programmers prepare for future large-scale commercial quantum computers.。It will also drive the industry by creating a community of developers who accelerate application development.。"

Currently, the number of companies pursuing quantum computer hardware has sprung up, including from tech giants such as IBM and Google to multiple startups, but to date, no company has made a quantum device that has had a significant impact in the field.。

In light of this, Intel says the use of quantum computing simulators, such as those already built by Intel, is essential for training developers and studying algorithms.。

While Intel doesn't have a quantum computer available to customers so far, James Clarke, who is in charge of Intel's quantum hardware, says the company is working on building a quantum computer based on its silicon manufacturing technology.。

Clarke explained: "What we do at Intel is get the transistors very close to each other, operate them with a single electron at low temperatures, and let these transistors act as qubits.。Qubits are the basic unit of quantum computing.。
