Google says it has found a way to reduce errors in its Willow quantum chip by 40 times, bringing practical quantum computers a step closer. The breakthrough could help these machines solve complex ...

Quantum computing has promised to transform everything from drug discovery to cybersecurity, potentially solving problems ...

Google's quantum lab just cleared a barrier that has quietly set the ceiling on how powerful a quantum computer can ever get, and the implications reach well beyond a single research paper.

Google's Willow chip cut errors 40x on the scarce “magic states” quantum computers burn through, a step toward smaller, useful machines—and toward ones that could threaten today's encryption.

Google said it has demonstrated "magic state cultivation," which could be a solution to one of quantum computing's most severe bottlenecks.

A quibit in a magic state is prepared in a very specific blend of the states 0 and 1 (occupying a mixture of states is a specialty of quantum computers). Fed into a calculation, it is used up to ...

Google’s quantum breakthrough: 40x fewer magic state errors on Willow, boosting fault-tolerant computing prospects.

Quantum computers are kept at temperatures near absolute zero to keep heat from affecting them. Dilution refrigerators ...
