Quantum computing is still in its infancy, easily beaten by traditional computers. One of the biggest challenges? The fact that quantum bits — qubits — are much more fragile than the bits in silicon ...

For the first time, a quantum computer has improved its results by repeatedly fixing its own mistakes midcalculation with a technique called quantum error correction ...

Researchers from Google have demonstrated a new generation of quantum computer, called Willow, which is able to run its random circuit sampling (RCS) benchmark significantly faster than a ...

There’s widespread agreement that most useful quantum computing will have to wait for the development of error-corrected qubits. Error correction involves ...

There’s a strong consensus that tackling most useful problems with a quantum computer will require that the computer be capable of error correction. There is ...

Quantinuum has unveiled a third-generation quantum computer that could be easier to scale up than rival approaches. The US- and UK-based company Quantinuum today unveiled Helios, its third-generation ...

Two researchers have proved that Penrose tilings, famous patterns that never repeat, are mathematically equivalent to a kind of quantum error correction. Integer ...

QuEra Computing (QEC) has unveiled a roadmap for advanced error-corrected quantum computers, in which it plans to achieve 100 logical error-corrected qubits in 2026. The roadmap starts this year, with ...
