Today’s quantum computing hardware is severely limited in what it can do by errors that are difficult to avoid. There can be problems with everything from setting the initial state of a qubit to ...

In September, Microsoft made an unusual combination of announcements. It demonstrated progress with quantum error correction, something that will be needed for the ...

These novel error-correction codes can handle quantum codes with hundreds of thousands of qubits, potentially enabling large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computing, with applications in diverse fields ...

Written for you by our author Tejasri Gururaj, edited by Gaby Clark, and fact-checked and reviewed by Robert Egan —this article is the result of careful human work. We rely on readers like you to keep ...

There is no shortage of top-name – and even lesser known – companies pursuing the white whale of developing a quantum computer that can run workloads and solve problems that today’s most powerful ...

The company says it has cracked the code for error correction and is building a modular machine in New York state. IBM announced detailed plans today to build an ...
