DARPA has moved Atom Computing, Diraq, IBM and IonQ into the final stage of its Quantum Benchmarking Initiative. The US defence research agency runs the programme to test whether anyone can build a useful quantum computer by 2033.
DARPA announced the four teams on Wednesday. Each one uses a different type of qubit, the basic unit of a quantum computer. Microsoft and PsiQuantum were already in the final stage, known as Stage C, after an earlier pilot programme.
“Stage C…
