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 ...

On Tuesday, Microsoft made a series of announcements related to its Azure Quantum Cloud service. Among them was a demonstration of logical operations using the largest number of error-corrected qubits ...

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 ...

"Our quantum error-correcting code has a greater than 1/2 code rate, targeting hundreds of thousands of logical qubits," explains Kasai. "Moreover, its decoding complexity is proportional to 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 ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Paul-Smith Goodson is an analyst covering quantum computing and AI. Microsoft and Quantinuum quantum computing researchers just ...

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 ...
