Researchers from Microsoft and Quantinuum have made significant progress in reducing errors during quantum computing, reducing their number by 800 times This breakthrough opens the way to practical application of quantum computers, making them much more reliable and efficient.
The key problem of quantum systems is their high sensitivity to external influences, which can increase the level of errors during the computing process . The researchers solved this problem by using Quantinuum ion traps to diagnose and correct errors without damaging the qubits. This allowed more than 14 000 error-free experiments.
According to Microsoft experts, a hybrid supercomputer with 100 noise-resistant logical qubits will be able to work even more efficiently than modern supercomputers. At the same time, the presence of 1,000 such qubits opens the possibility for the commercialization of quantum systems.
