Quantum computing remains mysterious and elusive to many,but USC Viterbi School of Engineering researchers might maintain taken us one step closer to bring such super-powered devices to practical reality. The USC Viterbi School of Engineering and Information Sciences Institute is home to the USC-Lockheed Martin Quantum Computing middle (QCC), a super-cooled, or magnetically shielded facility specially built to house the first commercially available quantum optimization processors - devices so advanced that there are currently only two in use external the Canadian company D-Wave Systems Inc.,where they were built: The first one went to USC and Lockheed Martin, and the second to NASA and Google.
