Self-correcting quantum computers within reac

<p>Quantum computers promise to reach speeds and efficiencies impossible for even the fastest supercomputers of today. Yet the technology hasn&rsquo;t seen much scale-up and commercialization largely due to its inability to self-correct. Quantum computers, unlike classical ones, cannot correct errors by copying encoded data over and over. Scientists had to find another way.</p>

<p>Now,&nbsp;a new paper in Nature&nbsp;illustrates a Harvard quantum computing platform&rsquo;s potential to solve the longstanding problem known as quantum error correction.</p>
