Microsoft and Atom Computing Achieve Quantum Milestone with Logical Qubits
The partnership sets a new record for entangled logical qubits, paving the way for commercial quantum computing in 2025.
- Microsoft and Atom Computing have successfully entangled 24 logical qubits using neutral atoms, marking the highest number recorded to date.
- The companies demonstrated quantum error correction by detecting and correcting neutral atom losses, a first in the field.
- A commercial quantum computer featuring over 1,000 physical qubits is planned for release in 2025, pending further development.
- The quantum system ran the Bernstein-Vazirani algorithm, showcasing its potential to outperform classical computing in specific tasks.
- Microsoft's Azure Quantum platform integrates Atom Computing's hardware with a qubit virtualization system to enhance error correction capabilities.
