Record-Setting Qubit Performance Marks Important Step Toward Practical Quantum Computing

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-08-03 21:05:09

The promise of so-called “quantum advantage” is simple. By harnessing the counterintuitive rules of quantum mechanics, quantum computers should be able to—in theory—surpass the computational potential of any classical supercomputer. But before quantum advantage drastically changes information technology as we know it, researchers have yet to address the many hurdles that are preventing quantum computers from entering into the mainstream. That said, quantum computing as a field has evolved drama

Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) play a significant role in improving the efficiency and accuracy of quantum computers. However, they come with high noise levels, which degrade their performance. Even though current techniques can mitigate their noise, they involve excessive computational overhead, which limits their feasibility.
