Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Jan 20, 2022
Researchers from RIKEN and QuTech-a collaboration between TU Delft and the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO)- have achieved a key milestone toward the development of a fault-tolerant quantum computer. They were able to demonstrate a two-qubit gate fidelity of 99.5 percent-higher than the 99 percent considered to be the threshold for building fault-tolerant comp

Sydney, Australia (SPX) Jan 20, 2022
Australian researchers have proven that near error-free quantum computing is possible, paving the way to build silicon-based quantum devices compatible with current semiconductor manufacturing technology. "Today's publication shows our operations were 99 per cent error-free," says Professor Andrea Morello of UNSW, who led the work with partners in the US, Japan, Egypt, and at UTS and the U
