A quantum computer made of charged atoms can catch its own errors when performing any operation – a meaningful step towards more reliable and practical quantum computers. Conventional computers ...

In context: Google's quantum AI researchers have demonstrated that it is possible to reduce errors in quantum calculations by increasing the number of qubits used. That may sound straightforward - and ...

There’s widespread agreement that most useful quantum computing will have to wait for the development of error-corrected qubits. Error correction involves ...

The idea that quantum computers might one day solve complex problems at lightning speed on microscopic chips has long been touted. But the race to show that these processors can outperform their ...
