Summary

Another milestone on the way to building useful and practical quantum computers has been passed. Researchers at the firm Quantinuum have used error-correction methods to make their Helios-1 quantum computer store information with an unprecedented degree of reliability, which is a key prerequisite for running complex calculations in the future. Quantum computers hold immense potential for solving problems and making scientific discoveries that have, so far, been out of reach for even the best supercomputers.
