It will use supercooled circuits made of superconducting materials. It will use 40 to 1000 times less energy.
The plan is to make a prototype of the machine as early as 2022.
It should be able to achieve processor speeds of 770 gigahertz or higher versus current commercial processor at 5 Ghz.
This will not be a quantum computer.
Xlichip, an electronics company based in Shenzhen, is working on superconducting chips. A field-programmable gate array (FPGA), a reconfigurable chip could be used to simulate and test the design of a large-scale, sophisticated integrated circuit.
In 2017, chinese researchers realized mass production of computer chips with 10,000 superconducting junctions.
Chen Quan, a supercomputer scientist at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, said superconducting was often mentioned in academic discussions on the development of the next generation of high-performance computers.
China was building more than one exascale computer and it is possible that one of the exaFLOP supercomputers will be superconductive.
The US has created 800,000 junctions in a superconducting chip. This was a joint research team at Stony Brook University and MIT squeezed into a chip.
The US also has awarded contracts to research teams at IBM, Raytheon-BBN and Northrop Grumman to build a superconducting computer.

Sounds like there won’t be anything useful coming out of that project for a very long time. $145 million is not much in that business. Globalfoundries just announced they will not build facilities for 7 nm because a new factory would cost them ~$20 billion. And that was for traditional room temperature semi conductors.

Will just be another spy tool on the public.
It is about scale, they are paying 145 million for 1 computer A new 20 billion factory is set up to churn out a large amount of chips and operates 24/7
They’ve been talking about Josephson junction computers since I was a computer engineering student back in the 70’s. It would be nice if somebody actually built one.

Let’s hope induction does not delay signal transmission times.
