German firm SAXON Q says room temperature quantum rig rivals superconducting chips

German firm SAXON Q said its room temperature diamond quantum computer, tested with Fraunhofer IWU, matched a superconducting rival's three qubit Grover search score while using about 600 watts instead of over 25 kilowatts of cooling.

What it does not test. It does not establish that the system matches superconducting rivals at larger, commercially relevant qubit counts.
