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 ...

Nvidia and Infleqtion have announced new breakthrough. Infleqtion, a world leader in neutral atom quantum computing, used the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform to first simulate, and then orchestrate the ...

Astronaut John Glenn was wary about trusting a computer. It was 1962, early in the computer age, and a room-sized machine had calculated the flight path for his upcoming orbit of Earth — the first for ...

Quantum computing is expected to leave classical computing in the dust when it comes to solving some of the world’s most fiendishly difficult problems. The best quantum machines today have one major ...

We’re nearing the end of the year, and there are typically a flood of announcements regarding quantum computers around now, in part because some companies want to live up to promised schedules. Most ...

In the second of a two-part article, Philip Ball looks at the challenges of error correction to build truly useful quantum computing; how algorithms will need to be ...

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 ...

As memory bit cells of any type become smaller, bit error rates increase due to lower margins and process variation. This can be dealt with using error correction to ...
