IBM to build first large-scale, error-corrected quantum computer by 2028
The company says it has cracked the code for error correction and is building a modular machine in New York state.
If Starling achieves this, IBM will have solved arguably the biggest technical hurdle facing the industry today to beat competitors including Google, Amazon Web Services, and smaller startups such as Boston-based QuEra and PsiQuantum of Palo Alto, California. Without error correction, quantum computers cannot accurately perform the complex algorithms that are expected to be the source of their scientific or commercial value, such as extremely precise chemistry simulations for discovering new materials and pharmaceutical drugs. This work bolsters the “credibility” of IBM’s error correction method, says Neil Gillespie of the UK-based quantum computing startup Riverlane.
