IBM makes major leap in quantum computing error-detection
Quantum computing is on the verge of catapulting the digital revolution to new heights.
Quantum computing is on the verge of catapulting the digital revolution to new heights.
Researchers at Yale have for the first time, using a process known as quantum error correction, substantially extended the lifetime of a quantum bit—a long-sought-after goal and one of the trickiest challenges in the field ...
