New Qubit Circuit Enables Quantum Operations With Higher Accuracy

The advance brings quantum error correction a step closer to reality.

In the future, quantum computers may be able to solve problems that are far too complex for today's most powerful supercomputers. To realize this promise, quantum versions of error correction codes must be able to account for computational errors faster than they occur.

However, today's quantum computers are not yet robust enough to realize such error correction at commercially relevant scales.
