The company’s surface code technique allows its quantum bits to faithfully store and manipulate data for longer, which could pave the way for useful quantum ...

Many experts predict that practical fault tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) will require millions of physical quantum bits (qubits) but in August, 2023 IBM scientists ...

Surface code: illustration of how error correction works for bit and phase flips. The measure qubits on light blue backgrounds check for phase flip errors while the ...

One of the biggest stumbling blocks for quantum computers is their tendency to be error-prone and the massive computational overhead required to clean up their mistakes. IBM has now made a ...

In the world of quantum error correction, an underdog is coming for the king. Last week, new simulations from two groups reported that a rising class of quantum error ...

During Microsoft’s massive Xbox showcase at E3 2018, gaming chief Phil Spencer said that the company is “deep into architecturing the next Xbox consoles.” Now we might know when to expect a new ...
