Prototype quantum processor hits record 99.9% qubit fidelity in a major milestone | The achievement marks a way toward “fault-tolerant” quantum computing.


The achievement marks a way toward "fault-tolerant" quantum computing as it achieved record-low error rates in prototype quantum computer.

“The results follow IQM´s recent benchmark announcements and indicate significant potential for further advancements on gate fidelities essential for fault-tolerant quantum computing and processors with higher qubit counts.” ‍Hassel claims that IQM is on track with its technology roadmap and is actively exploring potential use cases in machine learning, cybersecurity, route optimization, sensor simulation, chemistry, and pharmaceutical research. The improvements made in the two characteristics, two-qubit gate fidelity and coherence time, allow the quantum computer to be developed for more complex use cases, according to the company.
