Microsoft and Quantinuum have made strides in enhancing the reliability of quantum computers, a significant step toward commercializing this technology. Quantum computing, pursued by tech giants like Microsoft, Google, and IBM, promises unparalleled processing speeds compared to conventional computers. However, the fundamental unit of quantum computing, the “qubit,” is prone to errors. By applying error-correction algorithms, Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved four reliable qubits from 30 physical ones, a notable advancement. Microsoft plans to integrate this technology into its cloud computing services soon. While the goal of reaching 100 reliable qubits remains, this breakthrough is expected to accelerate progress, potentially shaving off years from the timeline.
