Microsoft and Quantinuum Leap Towards Reliable Quantum Computing
  • Microsoft 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.
