The technology firm has created a programmable quantum processor made with silicon, the same material used in conventional chips.
Previous developments in quantum computing have relied on special superconductive materials that work in near absolute-zero temperatures - making them difficult to create.
Intel's new device is a move closer to the creation of quantum chips that work in real-world conditions.
Intel created the prototype device with the help of Dutch firm QuTech, based at Delft University of Technology. The team used microwave energy to alter the alignment of two electron particles suspended in silicon.

Intel's new technology, called a spin qubit, addresses problems posed by traditional approaches to creating qubits, dubbed superconducting qubits.
In a written statement, a company spokesman said: 'Superconducting qubits are quite large and they operate in systems the size of 55-gallon drums.
'This makes it hard to scale up the design of the quantum system to the millions of qubits necessary to create a truly useful commercial system.
'Spin qubits, in comparison to their superconducting counterparts, offer a few advantages in addressing these challenges.'
Spin qubits resemble the semiconductor electronics and transistors as we know them today.
They deliver their quantum power by leveraging the spin of a single electron on a silicon device and controlling the movement with tiny, microwave pulses.
Spin qubits are much smaller in size and the amount of time they can store information is expected to be longer than rival approaches.
That gives them an advantage as researchers aim to scale quantum computing systems to the millions of qubits that will be required for a commercial system.
They can also operate at higher temperatures, up to 50 times warmer than superconducting qubits.
Intel has incorporated the spin qubits on its 300 mm process technology using isotopically pure wafers sourced specifically for the production of spin-qubit test chips.
Fabricated in the same facility as Intel’s advanced transistor technologies, Intel is now testing the initial wafers.
Within a couple of months, the company expects to be producing many wafers per week, each with thousands of small qubit arrays.
QuTech will announce their full findings at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Annual Meeting, being held from February 15 to 19 in Austin, Texas.
They have also been published in a paper in the journal Nature.
