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 in Nature shows our operations were 99 percent error-free," says Professor Andrea Morello of UNSW, who led the work. "When the errors are so rare, it becomes possible to detect them and correct them when they occur. This shows that it is possible to build quantum computers that have enough scale, and enough power, to handle meaningful computation." This piece of research is an important milestone on the journey that will get us there," Prof. Morello says. Morello's paper is one of three published today in Nature that independently confirm that robust, reliable quantum computing in silicon is now a reality. This breakthrough features on the front cover of the journal. Read more...
