Microsoft and Quantinuum Leap Towards Reliable Quantum Computing
April 3, 2024Microsoft and Quantinuum have achieved a quantum computing milestone with a system that can self-correct errors.
The system effectively creates four reliable qubits from 30 physical ones, significantly reducing error rates by 800-fold.
The breakthrough resulted in 14,000 error-free computational routines, moving practical quantum computing closer to reality.
Microsoft intends to make this technology available to cloud computing customers soon, demonstrating commercial viability.
While some experts remain cautious, the ongoing Microsoft-Quantinuum partnership aims to build more advanced quantum computers.
Other major tech companies like Google and IBM are also investing in quantum computing, highlighting the field's growing momentum.
