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 ...
Extended lifetime Quantum information is protected by encoding it in a more complicated system, such as the “GKP state”. (Courtesy: Volodymyr Sivak, Yale University) A team of researchers at Yale ...
In September, Microsoft made an unusual combination of announcements. It demonstrated progress with quantum error correction, something that will be needed for the ...
