We're a Step Closer to Quantum Computers That Can Correct Their Own Mistakes
Quantum computers promise an incredible leap forward in terms of performance, but a lot of that promise is still locked away as potential.
Summary
Quantum computers promise an incredible leap forward in terms of performance, but a lot of that promise is still locked away as potential. The quantum computers we have today are relatively small-scale, limited prototypes of what might eventually be possible. One of the major challenges to scaling up and expanding quantum computer technology is the need to build in fault tolerance: being able to spot and fix errors at the same time as the computer is running through its calculations.
