Google Team Forges Path Toward Better Error Correction for Their Quantum Computer

In what the Google Quantum AI team described as exponential suppression of errors, the team reports it developed a cyclic error correction method that presents a promising path forward in the quest to build practical quantum computers. A lot of work remains, the researchers add. In a study published in Nature, the researchers report on the addition of logical qubits to the reduced the logical qubit error rate. The team reports that repetition code logical errors can suppress errors when the number of qubits are increased from from 5 to […]
