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 ...

In recent years, quantum computers have begun to handle double-digit quantum bits, or qubits. However, many essential applications targeted by quantum computers, such as quantum chemistry, ...

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 ...

The researchers have proven PLANAR's effectiveness on surface codes under particular noise conditions and plan to adapt it for non-planar graphs with finite genus, opening the door to broader use in ...

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 ...

Designing a fault-tolerant error correction protocol is essential for achieving low logical error rates and enabling deep fault-tolerant computation. It requires co ...

The 24 pairwise CZ gates have a mean duration of 98(7) ns, including two conservatively chosen 15-ns-long buffers at the beginning and the end, and show a mean gate ...
