Russia is advancing quantum computing efforts by simultaneously developing four distinct physical platforms—superconductors, ions, neutral atoms, and photonics—to mitigate the uncertainty regarding which technology will ultimately offer the best scalability and performance. This parallel approach contrasts with competitors who often focus on a single modality, aiming to identify the optimal solution for complex calculations in cryptography, materials science, and drug discovery before a clear winner emerges.
Russia Develops Quantum Computers on Four Platforms

Only three countries in the world are currently working on all four physical implementations of quantum computers simultaneously, and Russia is one of them. Instead of choosing a single technology, researchers are developing them in parallel. The reason is simple: it is not yet clear which platform will prove to be…
