The method developed by the Harvard team to reduce errors addresses a significant obstacle in scaling up technology.
Quantum computing technology, with its potential for unprecedented speed and efficiency, significantly surpasses the capabilities of even the most advanced supercomputers currently available. However, this innovative technology has not been widely scaled or commercialized, primarily because of its inherent limitations in error correction. Quantum computers, unlike classical ones, cannot correct errors by copying encoded data over and over. Scientists had to find another way.
Now, a new paper in Nature illustrates a Harvard DOI: 10.1038/s41586-023-06481-y
