Microsoft says it’s figured out how to improve error rates in quantum computing, bringing quantum computing closer to a commercial state.
The company worked in collaboration with quantum computing hardware maker Quantinuum to improve the performance of the qubit — the very basic unit of quantum computing. Qubits work by holding two different phases at once (instead of just a one and a zero, it’s both), but they aren’t very stable, making it easy for them to lose data. Researchers…
