Illuminating errors creates a new paradigm for quantum computing
Oct. 11, 2023

A new design has made error-prone quantum computers up to ten times easier to correct, breaking one of the key log jams in the field. Led by Jeff Thompson, the team demonstrated a way to identify and eliminate errors as they occur in real time, using subtle manipulations of atomic energy levels. This is a new direction for research into quantum computing hardware, which more often seeks to lower the probability of an error occurring in the first place.
