Chinese Team Develops a 62 Qubit Superconducting Processor

A Chinese research team from the University of Science and Technology of China has developed a programmable 62 qubit superconducting processor. The qubits are arranged in an 8x8 two dimensional configuration so it appears that only 62 out of the 64 qubits were operational. The team has been able to implement what they call Quantum Walks on the processor. A paper on this development has been posted on the website of Science magazine and you can view the abstract and access the full article here.
