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 ...

Quantum computing breakthroughs from IonQ, D-Wave, QuEra, Alice & Bob, and others in the last six months, with dates, achievements, and their impact on error-corrected, scalable quantum systems. May 7 ...

In addition, the announcement demonstrates a full error-correction cycle, not just parts of the cycle, as was the case in previous experiments, says Sam Lucero, chief quantum analyst at Omdia.

Quantum computers are a little like librarians: both abhor noise. Compared with their classical counterparts, quantum computers are finicky and need a serene environment to perform their calculations ...

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 ...

Quantinuum has unveiled a third-generation quantum computer that could be easier to scale up than rival approaches. The US- and UK-based company Quantinuum today unveiled Helios, its third-generation ...

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 ...

There’s a strong consensus that tackling most useful problems with a quantum computer will require that the computer be capable of error correction. There is ...

For the first time, a quantum computer has improved its results by repeatedly fixing its own mistakes midcalculation with a technique called quantum error correction ...

QuEra Computing (QEC) has unveiled a roadmap for advanced error-corrected quantum computers, in which it plans to achieve 100 logical error-corrected qubits in 2026. The roadmap starts this year, with ...
