That doesn’t mean the error-corrected qubit was fully stable. Eventually, one of the errors that inevitably occurred couldn’t be recovered from because too many of its individual atoms changed state at once. But performing normal error correction could keep some of these logical qubits stable for up to 90 rounds.
Again, that’s not good enough for any sort of sophisticated calculation. But it’s a lot closer than the company was before working out this technique.
Resonating
EeroQ is a startup with a distinct approach to qubits. A number of companies are looking into using the spin of electrons as their qubits, typically because it’s easy to fabricate chips that
