Biggest Probabilistic Computer Turns Noise Into Answers
- Probabilistic computers might one day tackle certain problems well beyond standard computers while at the same time avoiding the many hardware challenges that currently vex quantum computing.
- Now scientists reveal they have created the largest probabilistic computer yet, one with 1 million “probabilistic bits,” a new study they suggest reveals the way forward to building even bigger machines.
- Probabilistic bits, or p-bits, bridge the gap between the bits underlying regular computers and the qubits upon which quantum computers are based.
