Microsoft and the quantum computing company Quantinuum assert they’ve developed a quantum computer with an unparalleled level of dependability. Its capacity to autonomously rectify errors could signify a leap towards more pragmatic quantum computing in the imminent future.
Krysta Svore of Microsoft exclaims, “Our achievement here is truly exhilarating. We’ve proven that error correction is not only consistent but also functional and dependable.”
The advent of practical quantum computers, capable of solving computations beyond the reach of traditional computers, has long been anticipated by experts. Despite the increasing size and complexity of quantum computers, this expectation remains unfulfilled. One significant obstacle is the inherent errors in all present-day quantum computers, posing a technical challenge for researchers attempting to devise algorithms to detect and rectify them during computation.
