IQM Announces Novel Quantum Error Correction Approach Toward Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing

MUNICH & ESPOO, Finland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IQM Quantum Computers, the global leader in superconducting quantum computers, has developed a novel quantum error-correcting code that achieves up to three orders of magnitude lower logical error rates than the surface code, also requiring up to eight times fewer physical qubits. Unlike many alternative high-performance quantum error-correction approaches, the new code also maintains a comparatively low hardware complexity, marking a significant advanc
