Microsoft and Atom Computing claim breakthrough in reliable quantum computing

However, physical qubits are prone to errors caused by environmental noise, hardware imperfections, and quantum decoherence.

To address these challenges, multiple physical qubits are combined to form logical qubits, which leverage quantum error-correction techniques to detect and mitigate errors during computation.

Logical qubits play a critical role in enabling reliable quantum computing, as they provide the stability and precision necessary for performing complex algorithms and achiev...
