"Our focus is not just about looking at quantum algorithms, which can implement real-world use cases, but it's also about understanding how we can build high-performance quantum error correction, and in particular, how we can get advantages for Universal Quantum's scalable trapped ion quantum computing hardware through clever design of error correction protocols."
"This is something which is many orders of magnitude larger than the hardware that we currently have at the moment. We're talking about needing hundreds of thousands or millions of qubits to be able to support the overhead of quantum error correction at the scale that we would need to execute very large algorithms."
Quantum computing technology currently struggles with high error rates, limiting the number of logical qubits available. Researchers are focused on maximizing the potential of existing noisy quantum computers while exploring future applications. In drug discovery, a large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computer is essential, requiring hundreds of thousands to millions of qubits. Efforts are underway to develop high-performance quantum error correction protocols to enhance the capabilities of current quantum hardware and understand the timeline for achieving fault-tolerant quantum computing.
