Quantum Computing NewsAboutTo that end, here's what to expect from the Google I/O 2024 keynote: However, Google is saving the bulk of the Android 15 announcements for I/O. AI, and lots of it. Google. The safe money's on Google talking about Gemini AI, which may end up replacing Assistant entirely. (a day ago)

Illustration: The Verge. 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.

That might change with today's announcement from Microsoft and Quantinuum, who say they've developed the most error-free quantum computing system yet. The result was an error rate that was 800 times better than relying on physical qubits alone.

Two of the leaders in quantum technologies, Quantinuum and Microsoft, today announced a breakthrough in reducing ‘noise’ that could mean quantum advantage is closer than previously thought. When it comes to quantum computing, noise refers to internal and external interference that lead to errors in quantum computations.

“Do you believe in the multiverse?” our petite and cheerful guide Angelina asked me when I told her what I do for a living, while navigating the rambunctious street’s of Hanoi’s Old Quarter. I wonder what kind of questions she would have for the founders of Multiverse Computing — a Spanish deeptech scaleup.

Quantum computers promise to tackle some of the most challenging problems facing humanity today. While much attention has been directed towards the computation of quantum information, the transduction of information within quantum networks is equally crucial in materializing the potential of this new technology.

The plan is to have a pilot plant on the moon by 2028 and begin operations by 2030, Meyerson said. Helium-3 is carried to the moon by solar winds and is thought to remain on the surface trapped in the soil, whereas when it reaches Earth, it’s blocked by the magnetosphere.

Researchers at ETH have managed to trap ions using static electric and magnetic fields and to perform quantum operations on them. In the future, such traps could be used to realize quantum computers with far more quantum bits than have been possible up to now.
