Map, Universal Design Studio and IBM collaborate on world’s first commercial quantum computer

Map Project Office and Universal Design Studio have worked with IBM to create the Q System One, the world’s first quantum computer intended for business use.

The computing giant partnered with the British design studios to find an integrated form for the quantum computing system, which carries out calculations in a different way to traditional computers and does not rely on binary digits (bits) with definite states.

The result is the nine-foot-tall, glass IBM Q System One, a replica of which is currently on display at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

Map and Universal Design Studio told Dezeen that the computer represents a milestone in the nascent field of quantum computing.
