IBM Quantum System Two
You can't buy one yet, but you can rent time on it for as little as $79.00/per minute under a long term contract.

Leave it to IBM to be at the forefront of Quantum computing.

qu-bits
The IBM Quantum System Two currently contains about 1500 Qu-bits, but IBM says it will soon contain about 17,000 Qubits.


So what's a qubit?

ubits
The IBM Quantum System Two currently contains about 1500 Qu-bits, but IBM says it will soon contain about 17,000 Qubits.


So what's a qubit? To my current understanding, a qubit is something like a ball where (theoretically) a bit of information can be contained simultaneously on every quantum point of the ball.

correction
It's apparently merely half the ball surface, because one point contains a one or the exact opposite point of the ball can contain a zero.

Quantum co0mputer errors issue
One of the problems with quantum computers, according to IBM, is that they are prone to errors which, I suppose, makes them suitable for developing theories, conjectures and wild-eyed ideas, etc.

The bad news is that quantum computers are unable to find their own errors, but the good news is that a digital super computer CAN find and correct the errors as long as one can allot a couple hundred years or so for the super computer to find it --- IBM is working diligently on the problem.

The current IBM Quantum System Two is said to have the ability to process data about 4-times faster than the largest super computers.

PS: Don't expect to find much about the comments I've made about this beast in my provided links, because most of my entries were found in a fantastic NASA 1,5 hour video about the how recent discoveries in the quantum are affecting our daily lives --- The IBM Quantum System Two was just one of them.

More Bell Labs
American Telephone and Telegraph Corp (AT&T) created Bell labs during the early 1900's and continued to operate it until they lost it after the 1983 fair trade loss and breakup.

Bell Lab employees have been awarded 11 Nobles, including the discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation, transistors, lasers,

Bell Labs is generally considered to be the possibly most prolific and important corporate owned research laboratories of all time --- The labs gifts to mankind are near endless.

Most of this website is dedicated to the discoveries and valued research that was done at Bell Labs.
en.wikipedia.org

AT&T was, of course, co-founded by Alexander Graham Bell who discovered the telephone.
Bell's co-founding partner was a guy named Gardiner Greene Hubbard who was an attorney who looked like a cowboy and/or a mountain man.
en.wikipedia.org
Although not specified, AI review estimates his wealth at his death in 1897 to be about $3,000,000.00 (about $100,000,000.00 in today's money.--- Thank you Alexander Graham Bell.
