IBM Achieves Practical Quantum Advantage With New Error Mitigation Method

IBM used a quantum computer to solve a problem that stumps leading classical methods.
IBM’s breakthrough could accelerate the timeline towards using quantum systems to solve previously intractable problems in chemistry, material science, AI, and more.
IBM used error mitigation techniques to address the noise issue in quantum computing.
Experts enlisted by IBM verified the results.
IBM believes error mitigation can now be used for increasingly complex problems beyond the Ising model.
