An approach to deliver scalable quantum error correction uses individual physical qubits as logical qubits — and aims to overcome a dynamic bottleneck.

Quantum computers hold tremendous promise, and the potential to solve a range of complex problems which are currently intractable due to the limitations of today’s super-computers. These problems span the fields of quantum chemistry and condensed matter physics — which have direct applications in crucial research areas such as drug discovery and the design of materials for more powerful and efficient batteries.
Early prototypes of quantum computers were brought online in the last decade. The performances of these forerunners invited skeptics to loudly claim that the industry...Read full article
