A Google-led research team has demonstrated a surface-code logical qubit operating below the error-correction threshold, ...

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

All complex biological systems—like the DNA, RNA and proteins constantly being copied and built within our cells—are prone to errors. That means as life evolved to be more elaborate, it also had to ...

Surface code: illustration of how error correction works for bit and phase flips. The measure qubits on light blue backgrounds check for phase flip errors while the ...

Quantum is smart. The progression toward embryonic quantum computing services represents a shift (you know what kind) in terms of the amount of intelligence we can apply to computing, data analytics ...

Error-corrected magic: Clifford circuits attain universality – that is, the ability to compute any function that quantum theory permits – upon injection of special states called magic states.

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 ...

In the early days of D-Wave’s history, the company made a decision to pursue annealing as its first technology to build a quantum computer because it promised to offer the fastest path to commercial ...
