Amazon on Thursday unveiled its first quantum computing chip, about a week after rival Microsoft announced its first one devoted to the nascent technology.

Amazon says its Ocelot chip will cut error correction overhead by 90% and bring practical quantum computing closer to fruition, but some experts are skeptical

Amazon unveiled its first quantum computing chip, Ocelot, marking a step toward scalable quantum systems. The announcement follows Microsoft's quantum chip reveal last week. Amazon claims Ocelot could require just one-tenth the resources of conventional approaches to achieve practical quantum computing.
