Microsoft and Quantinuum said today they have achieved a key step in making quantum computers a commercial reality by making them more reliable.
The move is the latest in a race to perfect quantum computing in which tech firms such as Microsoft, Alphabet's Google and IBM are jostling with both rivals and nation states to create machines that take advantage of quantum mechanics to promise speeds far faster than conventional silicon-based computers.
To solve that problem, quantum researchers often build more physical qubits than needed and use error-correction techniques to yield a smaller number of reliable and useful qubits. "We ran more than 14,000 individual experiments without a single error. That's up to 800 times better than anything on record," Zander told Reuters in an interview.
