If you've got $1000 to invest and want low-risk exposure to quantum computing, these two tech giants are no-brainers.The very first computer that took advantage of the complex and bizarre principles of quantum mechanics was built by researchers at IBM and a few major universities way back in 1998. Nearly three decades ago, those researchers successfully sorted an unordered list of items using a computer that used quantum bits, or qubits, fashioned from hydrogen and chlorine atoms.Continue readingWeiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei MotleyFool Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei MotleyFool
