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 ...

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.

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 ...

The company says it has cracked the code for error correction and is building a modular machine in New York state. IBM announced detailed plans today to build an ...
