Breakthrough may clear major hurdle for quantum computers
The potential of quantum computers is currently thwarted by a trade-off problem. Quantum systems that can carry out complex operations are less tolerant to errors and noise, while systems that are more protected against noise are harder and slower to compute with. Now a research team from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden has created a unique system that combats the dilemma, thus paving the way for longer computation time and more robust quantum computers.
For the impact of quantum computers to be realised in society, quantum researchers first need to deal with some
