Quantinuum Claims Breakeven Point in Quantum Error Correction

Quantinuum scales error correction to improve fault-tolerant quantum computing

Hey Everyone,

I couldn’t possibly not mention the breakthrough of Quantinuum this past week in early May, 2023. At least let’s try to wrap our head around this a little. Advances in Google Quantum aside, this is pretty neat stuff.

Researchers at Quantinuum report they have recently found a way to scale the number of qubits to increase the performance and reduce the error rate. This is no simple task because quantum computers have a higher volume of errors compared with classical computers.

So let’s get into it:
