For the first time, we correct what's called loss. This is a type of error and noise, and we show, for the first time, that we can correct that loss. This really paves the path as we advance towards demonstrating scientific quantum advantage. - Krysta Svore, technical fellow at Microsoft's Advanced Quantum Development.
Ultimately, we want to show quantum advantage with reliable quantum computing, and show that advantage for scientific discovery. - Krysta Svore.
By using chargeless neutral atoms, Microsoft said that it has been able to detect errors within qubits and correct them while computing, making outputs from a given quantum machine accurate.
Microsoft and Atom Computing's announcement is significant because it tackles a major problem with quantum computation: noise. The disturbances caused by quantum noise can lead to errors in computation.
