Microsoft wants you to build quantum apps in Azure, the cloud that's both up and down Microsoft believes that solving the world's most intractable problems – reversing climate change, for instance – will ultimately require combining supercomputers, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing. According to Microsoft's Krysta Svore – who heads up Redmond's quantum development program – it'll take a rather …
Out of the 67 quantum processors existing in 2023 so far, IBM makes 34 of them, so half of all the model types in existence. It therefore follows that IBM is #1 on the list of quantum companies.
Microsoft is #3 on that list, following Google. The first two have their own quantum processors. Microsoft has none to its name (yet), so that means it's buying from someone - and there's an even chance that that means IBM.
I had no idea that IBM was so into quantum computing. Must explain why I've been feeling like it disappeared from the IT landscape for the past decade . . .

None of then work though. Even the journalists are starting to see through the hype now, as it says in the article.
While fault tolerant quantum supercomputers remain a ways off – if they're even possible in the first place
Our government gives grants for quantum research!
The caveat?
Your project’s total costs must not exceed £500,000.
Hmm.
