SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -New Mexico, site of the world's first atomic bomb tests, on Tuesday plans to invest $315 million in a bid to becomea leader in another potentially era-defining technology: quantum computing.
Quantum computing, which leverages the behavior of matter and energy at the atomic and sub-atomic scale, holds the promise of solving in minutes some problems that would take conventional computers thousands of years.
