a major breakthrough in quantum computing : 24 logical qubits that can detect and correct errors. In an era when a single chip architecture in your iPhone might have 20 billion transistors, that doesn’t sound like too much of a big deal. But Microsoft says the world’s largest logical entangled state on record.
The Microsoft news is extremely relevant to answer that question too, because error detection is critical in quantum computing. The main barrier to achieving this goal is the high error rate in current generation quantum processors, which likely needs to be overcome through error correction before a real advantage can be seen. The systems also need to be scaled up to larger qubit counts. To go from a narrow advantage on a single problem to a much broader quantum advantage, we also need to create the software infrastructure for developing more sophisticated quantum programs, and that is where we focus as a company.
Manufacturing companies may also turn to quantum computing to help optimize their supply chain – for example, identifying the most effective ways of distributing goods. These types of problems are called ‘combinatorial explosion’ problems, where adding in just a few more inputs can massively increase the compute time. Quantum computing can help reduce this burden. Finally, one of the most exciting applications is in materials science.
