Scientists make magic state breakthrough after 20 years . . . Scientists demonstrate a process called "magic state distillation" in logical qubits for the first time, meaning we can now build quantum computers that are both error-free and more powerful than
Scientists make ‘magic state’ breakthrough after 20 years What Happened Researchers at QuEra Quantum Technologies have successfully demonstrated magic state distillation on logical qubits —not just error-prone physical ones—for the first time They used their Gemini neutral-atom quantum computer to convert a group of five imperfect magic states into a single, high-fidelity one on both Distance-3 and Distance-5 logical qubits
‘Magic’ states empower error-resistant quantum computing To generate magic states suitable for fault-tolerant quantum computing, scientists used Quantinuum's H2 quantum processor (shown inside an ultra-high vacuum chamber) as well as the company's H1
Quantum Breakthrough: Scientists Create Schrödinger-Cat State . . . A research team led by Prof Zhengtian Lu and Researcher Tian Xia from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has successfully created a quantum state with a lifetime on the scale of minutes using optically trapped cold atoms
