Microsoft, in collaboration with hardware company Quantinuum, has claimed a major breakthrough in quantum error correction, which it says will propel the field into a new era of reliability and scalability.
A project involving researchers from the universities of Mainz, Olomouc and Tokyo has succeeded in generating a logical qubit from a single light pulse that has the inherent capacity to correct errors. Click to read more.
A new technique can control a larger number of microscopic defects in a diamond. These defects can be used as qubits for quantum sensing applications, and being able to control a greater number of qubits would improve the sensitivity of such devices.
