Achieved by Microsoft and Atom Computing.
And if we could solve problems that until now seem almost impossible, that is the promise of quantum computing and Microsoft in partnership with Atom Computing has just announced a very interesting milestone, 24 error-corrected logical qubits, the highest number recorded on any quantum platform. .
This advance not only raises the level of technology, but also consolidates quantum computing as a Revolutionary tool. According to companies, this is a crucial step to transform innovative ideas into reality, bringing humanity closer to the promise of solving unimaginable challenges, if Physical qubits are the foundation of quantum computing, error-corrected logical qubits represent the guarantee that that foundation will work reliably.
Unlike physical qubits that are subject to noise and interference, logical qubits have the ability to automatically correct for these errors, ensuring precise and consistent operations.
How they did it.
To achieve this achievement Microsoft and Atom computing combined cutting-edge technologies in Hardware and Software using trapped neutral atoms as qubits. The Hardware developed by Atom computing is an example of technological innovation that uses trapped neutral atoms controlled by lasers to store and process quantum information.
This approach offers full connectivity between the qubits allowing for fast and efficient interactions as well as ensuring greater stability during operations and compacting the qubits to create a highly scalable system, as a result Atom achieved the best 2-qubit quantum gate fidelity recorded in a commercial system. , further strengthening the precision and potential of its devices.
Reliability comes first.
Error correction is a crucial differential in this advance, while many recent quantum initiatives such as IBM's Heron processor have prioritized speed and size, Microsoft has focused on reliability, demonstrating the ability to compute with 28 qubits logic is not only an impressive technical achievement, but also evidence that reliable quantum computing is closer than ever.
This approach to bug fixing and scalability is what makes Microsoft's approach especially promising, as it lays the foundation for transforming quantum computing into a practical and accessible tool by combining advances from hardware and software, Microsoft and Atom computing are creating a robust platform for reliable quantum computing, the results that will be achieved will not only accelerate scientific discoveries, but will also open up new possibilities in areas such as chemistry, optimization, Artificial Intelligence.
