MOSCOW, February 21. /TASS/. Russian scientists have developed a 20-qubit quantum computer, advisor to Rosatom CEO Ruslan Yunusov told TASS in an interview.

A 16-qubit ion-based quantum computer was shown to Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2023, where a molecule calculation algorithm was launched with the use of a cloud platform. It was the most powerful quantum computer in the country at that time.

"We have developed a 20-qubit quantum computer as part of the roadmap on quantum computations. We implemented it on an ion platform. We also have a 25-qubit computer on a nuclear platform. We have plans [for computers] from 50 to 100 qubits. We be able to make a 50 [qubit computer] by the end of this year," Yunusov said.
