Self-correcting quantum computers within reach?
On 11 Oct 2023: Harvard team's method of reducing errors tackles major barrier to scaling up technology
A new paper in Nature illustrates a Harvard quantum computing platform's potential to solve the longstanding problem known as quantum error correction.
In the new paper, the team reports near-flawless performance of its two-qubit entangling gates with extremely low error rates. For the first time, they demonstrated the ability to entangle atoms with error rates below 0.5 percent. - news.harvard.edu
